I do a lot of Holiday Parties for Corporations and other Organizations. While it is my job to entertain and make everyone happy it usually saddens me as this time of year brings back memories of good times that will never be relived. Loved ones have come and gone. Some members of families are no longer there, either passed away or far away. Upbringing, Culture and Tradition plays a major part in what can now be missing in one's life at this time of year. There are songs that although Classics and great to hear makes one depressed and sad. You force yourself to listen to the words, harmony and feeling yet you can't stop from playing or listening to them.
Today I break out my Christmas Collection which encompasses everything from Mantovani, Percy Faith, Shirley Ceasar, Manneheim Steamroller, The Temptations, New Age Christmas etc and with each selection, even though the song may be great it still manages to bring along that shroud of yearning. Love of family and years of joy that are now distant memories. This time too soon will pass and it also will soon be a memory as well. Pain for one can be Hell for another. So we pray and Thank God for whatever Blessings still remain. Amen.
