"somewhere in my memory"

if i let myself, i could get depressed that christmas is over.

the things i miss can be summed up like this
~the thrill of the season
~the music

the presents and decorations, and even the food are just fluff - kwim?

every morning when jackson wakes up, he turns on the living room tv, and selects something from dvr to watch for a little while while i get some more zzzz's (this morning it was 6:40)... so today, he chose "home alone" and when i did finally get up - i walked out into the living room - and "somewhere in my memory" (the theme song) was on... and i just about welled up with tears!

tell me i'm not the only one! ;)

That John Williams sure does know how to write a song that becomes more than just a song. That could make Scrooge miss Christmas!

Too much. Memories washing over me thinking about little girls in pretty nightgowns trying on roller skates at 5:00 am.

how true - to both of you.
i just started reading "the five people you meet in heaven" and as he's being brought back in time to his childhood, the thought that keeps passing through my head is - now THAT would be heaven. :)

I, too, miss most of Christmas. It is a magical time of year!

Are you reading the book for our book club??
