Christmas Eve 2014

Well the Big Day has almost arrived as we find ourselves sitting here at midweek on Christmas Eve.  People are scurrying about taking care of all manor of last minute 'must do' items on their lists.  I have tried to maintain some semblance of the Spirit of Christmas for the duration of the season, mostly by injecting humor into the situation.  I changed my name tag at work to read Gerry AKA Ebeneezer which has sparked some lively interchanges across the counter, all in good fun of course.  Right now I am a bundle of mixed emotions, wanting to celebrate but also looking for a reason to celebrate at all.  What the Hell, let's just say F*** It and celebrate anyway in the traditional Nichevo manner with Music rivaled in Beauty only by the fine examples of Art  in the Male Form to be found below the play list.

I have spent a lot of time checking out the canned play lists and multitude of compilations looking for just the right list for today.  In the end, I decided to make my own Sounds of the Season play list which is comprised of some really excellent renditions of some of my favorite Hymns and Christmas Carols.  Joshua Bell and Branford Marsalis get us started with a terrific jazzed up version of Amazing Grace followed by Pentatonix performing their cool version of Little Drummer Boy.  Then we travel to the Helix in Dublin for a live performance of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by Celtic Woman before we listen as Aussie cutie David Archuleta fronting the Mormon Tabernacle Choir excels in a live performance of Joy to the World.  David is followed by lady Antebellum singing The First Noel and Josh Groban singing Silent Night. My Mother loved Bill and Gloria Gaither along their 'Family' of Gospel Singers and she absolute loved Christmas, so this next one is in remembrance of my Mother who this year will not brighten Christmas with her presence for the first time in my life. The Gaithers are joined by soloist David Phelps in a most dynamic rendition of O Holy Night.  David is followed by Enya with her hauntingly beautiful performance of Adeste Fideles. Two instrumental pieces conclude this celebration of the Christmas Season: The Piano Guys putting their own magical touch to O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and a Quartet from the Saint Mary's Strings joining Cello Soloist Patrick Stafford in performing Schubert's Ave Maria.  You may continue the celebration over on my tumblr with The Trans-Siberian Orchestra's live performance of the Carol of the Bells.

Then to rival the beauty of the Music as mentioned above, any one of these Sultry Studs serving as Sexy Santa's Helpers should fuel any Santa fantasy you have on your Erotic Christmas Wish List.  Then you might want to check out who has been Naughty...or Nice? as your multiple Hotties of the Day! over on my tumblr.  Thanks for sharing a part of your Holiday with me, join me tomorrow for a very special Sounds of the Seasons and Celebration of Christmas.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
