The 2014
Top Twenty Five Christmas
Countdown
CELBRATE - CELEBRATE - DANCE TO THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!
It's official - a tradition has been born. Five years of Christmas music and memories comin' atcha!
So how's it been for you and yours? This has been a very, very, very fast year. We still have the same sorry economy, more wars and rumors of same, political insanity at every turn - it seems to never end. And just when you thought the culture had had enough of the serial narcissists - aka Miley, Gaga, Blige - the big butted Kardashian bears all. Proof that we are sliding faster down the slope. But once again, Christmas reminds us of the reason for the season and all that is good within us. Christendom's story is unaltered and more relevant today than ever - The King of Kings came by a virgin, lived, died and arose - thereby making it possible for believers to have eternal life. Inevitably, in all of our lives, things happen - unexpected things. Health challenges, family losses, family dustups, long distance pinings - etc.- etc.- etc. All of this "stuff" gets trumped by the Christmas spirit. All you have to do is embrace it and spread the love. And let's make a promise to ourselves. From now until the big day - no complaining, no whining, and no negative thoughts. That will come in January when you get the bills! Once again- I genuinely hope that this year's CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN will lighten your load or make you realize that your treasure is right in front of you. And most important, hold on to those you love and care about and don't let go, well at least until its time to eat!
And this year I want to say a personal thanks to my family and friends who helped me and mine through some pretty tough situations this year. I get up every day and thank my Christ for all of you. I am not going to name names, because I will leave somebody out - but you all know who you are.
Once again, I will continue the undaunted search through every music collection, You Tube Video, Spotify, Tune-In, my own CD's, you name it - to find new and different tunes to keep it fresh - but some standards are still included to keep it real. If you run across something you would like to see included, please email the link(s) to me at dstafford1@msn.com.
So from The Nomad and his favorite elf...
MERRY CHRISTMAS...REMEMBER - IF YOU CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC YOU CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT.
Get ready- No. 25 on the 2013 XMAS Countdown will be here later today - Promise!
