Christmas time is here

No, "Peanuts" doesn't mark the beginning of the Christmas season. Only one masterpiece can accomplish that: Handel's Messiah. I have put off listening to it for the last few weeks, and now with one week (plus a day) to go, it was time to break out the violins and harpsichord. Blissful baroque.

Oh yeah! Of course...there is one other thing that might help it feel a little more Christmasy...cold weather. It FINALLY started getting cold here yesterday! The weather was actually colder in Phoenix than it was here the past couple of weeks...

Becky sang in the Messiah a couple weeks ago. But I still say that it IS A Charlie Brown Christmas that kicks off the season.
