Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Christmas Carol List

This list of Christmas carols appeared in my local newspaper this morning. Apparently, it is from The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and is their list of the Top 25 Most-Performed Holiday Songs For The First Five Years of the 21st Century. As a practicing Christian, I find it a little disconcerting that only two traditional “religious” carols found their way into the group.

1. The Christmas Song
2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
3. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
4. Winter Wonderland
5. White Christmas
6. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
7. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
8. Jingle Bell Rock
9. I’ll Be Home For Christmas
10. Little Drummer Boy
11. Sleigh Ride
12. It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
13. Silver Bells
14. Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree
15. Feliz Navidad
16. Blue Christmas
17. Frosty The Snowman
18. A Holly Jolly Christmas
19. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
20. Here Comes Santa Claus
21. It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
22. Home For The Holidays
23. Carol Of The Bells
24. Santa Baby
25. Wonderful Christmastime
