Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale



Somewhere
in a winter night
the angels
begin their flight;
dark skies
with miles to go,
no footsteps
to be lost in snow.

If you have never heard Enya sing you are in for a treat. She has the voice of an angel.

To all of my friends in the blogging universe
Happy Holidays
and
a
very
Merry Christmas

I will be taking a few days off from blogging. Mostly for the holiday but also I need to do some work on my computer. It has gotten so slow and I am having a lot of trouble leaving comments on many of your blogs. A little maintenance should solve all of these problems.

Be sure to visit SkyWatch Friday, Macro Flowers Saturday and Freda's Quote It Saturday!

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

P.S. Thank you for the song. I've always loved Enya's ethereal quality to her voice, but it's been a while since I've heard her. :)

Happy Holidays, Judy!

Enya does have a lovely voice. I also like Sarah McLachlin, particularly her versions of Angel and Wintersong. They both have such angelic voices.

May you enjoy a lovely Christmas!

You have a wonderful holiday and a few days off!

Ginny said...

I have never heard this Enya song, either. I seem to have only her old music! The video is very mystical and illusive. Really lovely. Merry Christmas, Judy!

The Frog Queen said...

Merry Christmas to you too!

Cheers!

What a nice quote and I'd like to have that photo of nature's snowy wand for my blog - it goes with my bllog header theme!

Glad you are warm and safe. New Year is coming ... hope 2011 is everything you want it to be and more.
