Christmas music is superb accompaniment to tiny dancing feet around our home. Seneti was just twirling for all her little body was worth, in the same attire Shauna and I used to wear after church when we still lived in the little green house. Petticoats are still very popular dancing outfits. The only difference was that Dad's briefcase became our special stage! Seneti just uses our little wooden bench. Kalina enjoys getting down with Seneti and steps in stride with little sis to become her ballroom partner! Could any of the moves be the inspiration of Christmas Around the World at BYU that Kalina got to attend on Friday with her 2nd grade class? Undoubtedly! Smiles and delight fill our home this afternoon because of the beautiful strains of Kurt Bestor, cranked up a wee bit too loud for a Sabbath, but who's listening but the Heavenly Choirs who wish they could join us!
It has been so remarkable this past week to play along with Litia to beautiful Christmas Carols as her countermelody duet partner. I never thought I'd be able to play music with my daughter so soon. It has been delightful! The violin and flute are making memories while making melodies this holiday!
Fotu enjoys playing, Away in a Manger, and Joy to the World. He continues to learn new songs and is doing very well on the piano. I enjoy the homemade music produced here along the Slate Canyon foothills.
I pay tribute to all musicians who have ever composed Christmas music! Thanks for sharing your God-given talent so the rest of us can enjoy the peace and beauty that only music can provide! Thanks to those who've authored words; so deep, so wondrous, so appropriate to make the meaning of Christmas music even more profound.
Sing on - choirs of angels - sing on!
