gently fall back and simultaneously begin to move your arms and your legs up and down in a jumping jack motion.

i would not call myself a super christmas choral type of girl.

yes, there are totally times when i am driving and put my volume as high as it will go and pump my fist with such gusto that one would think that the passion thats flows out of me is nothing of this earth - but that's just a girl enjoying a jam. i am totally aware that there is other music filling the earth at this holiday season and i find myself straying often from the musical festivities.

.but.

i wanted to share this tasty holiday treat with you. i am totally a song repeater. when i find one that speaks to my heart i have to hear it again and again. i have been known to repeat one song for weeks. this is a song that has been gently humming through my apartment for the last few days.



i have a winter theory that i think i began developing while i was scraping my car windows for 10 minutes and needed defrosting for the next 30.

i think that someone needs to stand up and say "there must be a national winter enjoyment day for those who have to deal with it's elements." i think that if the dealings we have with the winter is fighting it's elements then of course we are going to hate winter and grow bitter towards it. what if one day each year we had to make a snow angel in the fresh snow. what if it was mandatory to build a snow fort so you could have a place of protection when our wicked snowball fight started. and at the end of the day it was strongly recommended that you walk hand in hand with someone you love as the snow glistens in the street lights as it gently falls on you. hey - and while you are at it please finish it off with a hot cup of coco and a cuddle under a wool blanket.

i have this sneaky suspicion that the next day there would be a whole lot more cheer as people wait for a train to come their way or scrap off the snow that has settled on their cars.

i believe it is extremely important to do things that remind you why you love something. when we start doing something out of routine we seem to loose some passion and all of a sudden we start to forget why we work so hard for something or why it was so important in the first place.

remind yourself why you love the things you love.
