Every year I just don't get the "spirit" till I hear this song at least once. One year I hadn't heard it at all........as I was sooooooo busy I never got a chance to listen to the radio (believe it or not). So, since then, I have made it a point to tune to a local station that plays newer Christmas songs. Most Pixie members, who know me already, know.......I am an atheist. But the spirit of Christmas surpasses any religious boundries. In this season of celebration.........whatever the cause you celebrate.........I feel close to heart, hearth, family, less fortunate and most of all.............GIVING!

This song says it all for me...............and BTW, I absolutely love Boy George in this tune.........his Ohhhhhhhhhh's give me goose bumps!


(Do They Know It's Christmas?)
Band Aid Christmas Song
M. Ure and Bob Geldof


It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime

It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again





* Sooooooo??????? Have you donated anything this year? A gift of one toy could make a childs life so memorable. A monetary gift could help an entire family.....or in the case of third world countries....an entire community! I am NOT preaching......just touching your heart strings! Those that give.....get back tenfold! Even if you just get back the sense of pride for giving......you got something back.........am I right? It feels so good to give.........so PLEASE Pixies...........give till it feels so good!*

I love you all! TY for taking this in stride! Happy Holidays to all and to all...............I am outta here!

*hugs n kisses*
