O Night Divine

Be present with all the meaningful moments of your Christmas both monumental and minute.  Wishing you peace in all you encounter this holiday.  

  We are all just looking for the light.

Aloha Blue,
I adore *O Holy night* it's my favorite hymn, evvvah!!!
I think my favorite rendition of it is Renee Flemming's version, and Uncle Willie K.'s *Hawaiian* version..

Blessings and peace to you and your family.
Peace, Kai

Gorgeous photo, dahling! I posted some NYC photos today, but still haven't written about our trip, as I've been feeling so awful. Finally got antibiotics last night, so hopefully will snap out of this flu/sinus infection soon. Miss you! xoxox

Gillian this is stunning. I love O Night Divine. This is the feeling we must all keep in our hearts during the holidays. Stay close to those you love and stay in the moment, be present.

Wonderful post, Blue, Gill and any other alias you may have. Got a sweet card from your mom and dad. Praying for them a lot. Wishing all is well with you and the girls and the big guy. It is a beautiful hymn!

[Gillian daSilva]

Yes mine too. Hence the title to my post. I adore that song! It too, is my fave. Thank you for your Christmas card, so funkilicious!!! xoxo

Thanks Kath. Just a little editing. The original is a neat shot too. But I was making an artistic statement here (wink!)

Thank you Tara. I love your pics. I am not sure but this longing for NYC is still here. It isn't going away. I love that place.
Meeting you was so lovely too, how can I possibly go back there alone next time?
You must go again! Spring!
xoxo

I call it O Night Divine too but I think it's really called something else. Who cares? It is the greatest Christmas song in the Universe. It inspires one to be more angelic. ;)
Happy Hols to you Yoli, may your little ones be spoiled rotten by Santa!!!

I'm not sporting many aliases these days. Blue or Gill is it.

Dad is getting ready for his treatments, then another surgery.
We are all soooo hopeful this will pass and leave us to get on with our lives. We are worried sick about him. Thank you so much for the prayers.
:(

Thank you very much for being a part of my blogging life. Your articles and pictures have so many times lifted me out of the gloom, and at many times have given me a new perspective about things.

I specially cherish that post you wrote about your darling sweetheart and how you have been together through all these years. True love is always such a potent read.

You are magic!

Merry Christmas, Gillian!

Much love to you :)
