I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Christmas present is here to stay...

As Christmas draws ever near, here is my number one favorite Christmas song:

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas 

(It wouldn't let me embed this video for some reason.)


Why it tops the list: I wish I had some great reason to give why this one is my all-time favorite Christmas song, but, honestly, I don't. Probably what I like best about it is its focus on what (and who) we have so that we might feel blessed and happy with the present Christmas, look back on past Christmases with fond memories, and look ahead to Christmases that will come in the future. Time keeps turning, and we all keep moving, but this song reminds us to stop and cherish the special moment of Christmas each year, no matter where we find ourselves.

At least, that's what it says to me.


So, what about you? Have you thought about your favorite Christmas song? 

No matter what it is, remember to "have yourself a merry little Christmas now."
