My Best

My favourite thing about Advent is being allowed to play the Holiday Playlist. All day.  Christmas songs make my heart glad.  Really, really glad.

I have so many favourites, I can hardly stand it. And on the list (long list) of favourites, are most of the songs from A Muppet's Christmas Carol (my favourite Christmas movie).  And my favourite tonight was this one:

IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS
From the Muppet Christmas Carol


It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas

A cup of kindess that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother
In all the places you find love it feels like Christmas

It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the sprit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year

It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love that feel like Christmas

A part of childhood we'll always remember
It is the summer of the soul in December
Yes, when you do your best for love it feels like Christmas

It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the sprit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year

It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas

I think I like the idea that if we're doing our best for love, it feels like Christmas. 

Maybe it lets me remember that some of the Christmas I don't like is still people doing their best for love.

Maybe it reminds me to do my own best to make it feel like Christmas.
