Always be joyful.\u00a0Never stop praying.<\/em> – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17<\/a>

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. – <\/em>1 Thessalonians 5:18<\/a>

It’s Fall, Y’all! My favorite season (here in the US). Now…as for holidays: my favorite holiday is Christmas followed by Thanksgiving, as a close second.<\/p>\n

Family, family, family. That’s what it’s about for me. Those two holidays bring families together for all that comes with family gathering…the lovely, the crazy, and the memory-savoring and making.<\/p>\n

Yet what brings us all together is the reason for those holidays: 1) celebrating the birth of Jesus, our Savior, and 2) thanks giving for all the good in our lives, Him being at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Most of us have an order to these celebrations – first Thanksgiving (US Thanksgiving) in November followed by Christmas in December. I try to keep that order, except for one thing.<\/p>\n

Christmas music starts around here in October. Sacred and secular. There is just a wealth of music from so many years past and right up to latest releases this month. If you love the nostalgia of Christmas music and the richness of the lyrics of many of those songs, then you may be one of us (tuning to it much earlier than most).<\/p>\n

Speaking of new releases (the topic of this blog today) is David Crowder<\/a>‘s Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This album has something for everyone. Quirky new songs about elves and Mrs. C. (which when you hear the song could also refer to Mrs. Crowder and not Mrs. Claus). Then you’ll hear some beautiful standards as only Crowder and friends can do them. Finally, included in the album, are original songs glorifying Christ and pointing us to all we have in Him. Powerful!<\/p>\n

The album is unique in its production having an ethereal feel of a vinyl record, including some brief narration sounding like it could have come from a film like It’s a Wonderful Life<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
