Each night when I get home and am doing a few things around the house, I’ll put on Christmas music. Kathryn is at the barn a couple of nights a week and Mike gets home later than I do so I can play whatever I like. I’ve been playing some of the tunes from Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy’s new Christmas album “A Celtic Family Christmas” this week. I tend to go in binges of listening to the same music a few nights in a row and then move on to something else.
I’ve been enjoying this particular song of Christmas favorites. It’s nice sometimes to just hear the music. No singing besides my own. That way, my wonderful voice can shine through – LOL. That’s why I play this before anyone’s home so only the dog and guinea pig are tortured with my enthusiastic but unremarkable singing. There are a few songs on their album with their kids (I’m guessing) singing but I really do prefer the music-only carols. They are such talented musicians so why not let the focus being on them?
Hope you enjoy it as well. And be sure to sing, I know you know the words!
