Day 1 out of 365 

January 1, 2015

I have chosen my Christmas tree as my first photo.  Christmas is my favorite holiday BY FAR.  And there is nothing better than sitting in the living room at night with only the tree as a light source. 

I really hate when it's time to take the tree down, for me, it feels like somebody died when the tree comes down.  I hate it.  But one song has stayed with me allll these years, I've never forgotten it, and I have always loved it.  It's from the Sesame Street Christmas Special :) Keep Christmas With You All Through the Year.
I remember sitting on the living room floor of my old house when I was a kid watching them sing that song at the end of the show, and even though I loved it, I felt sick thinking about Christmas being over.
So I'm starting off this New Year, by Reminding all of you to keep the joys and magic and happiness of the holidays with YOU all through the year.  And may 2015, be the best year yet for you!~
 I hope to inspire many people, as my friend Crystal (  Here is Crystal's Blog,  ) did for me, to take one photo a day, not just to document your life, but to also grow as a photographer.
And in case you never heard it, or you forgot the words, here it is.
Keep Christmas With You, All Through The Year
When Christmas time is over and presents put away, don't be sad 
There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day and the fun we've had 
So may happy feelings to celebrate with you 
And, oh, the good times hurry by so fast, 
But even when it's over there's something you can do to make Christmas last 

Keep Christmas with you 
All through the year, 
When Christmas is over, 
You can keep it near. 
Think of this Christmas day 
When Christmas is far away. 

Keep Christmas with you 
All through the year, 
When Christmas is over, 
Save some Christmas cheer. 
These precious moments, 
Hold them very dear 
And keep Christmas with you 
All through the year. 

Christmas means the spirit of giving 
Peace and joy to you, 
The goodness of loving, 
The gladness of living; 
These are Christmas too. 

So, keep Christmas with you 
All through the year, 
When Christmas is over, 
Save some Christmas cheer. 
These precious moments, 
Hold them very dear 
And keep Christmas with you 
All through the year.
