So much tenderness towards that song. I always love hearing it. I checked several other versions of this song on You Tube and all other versions I heard so far seem to miss something, even though some versions are quite good.<br />To me it looks like you put the same heart and tenderness in your caption. so incredible heartwarming.<br /><br />To be honest, I saw this post shortly after you posted it and wanted to comment on it. However your post and cap made me reflect on myself, wondering why it is I still enjoy Christmas and what happened to me to have very different feelings about this time of year, and while I was contemplating, I got a call for running late. Over an hour had passed by that time, and my computer already went to sleep due to inactivity. And while the reasons to at least dislike Christmas are numerous, and some of them weigh very heavy, I can still hope, I can still dream. I know that there are people who love me, and even need me. I am still able to count my blessings to find joy on the small things. So far that always tipped the scale for me.<br />And while I also miss having children, I know several girls who are young enough to be my daughter, and already became a mother. Realizing I could have had grandchildren by now makes that feeling even worse, but when I see the children of my sisters, and see that at least in some ways I was a positive influence for them it fills my heart with joy. Some of them have left their nest by now, some are about to. I hope I will remain a part of their lives, may it be as a weird old uncle or as a silly old aunt.<br />Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-54129075617719453292014-12-24T15:10:10.405-05:002014-12-24T15:10:10.405-05:00A lovely caption. abit sloppy but thats ok for Chr...A lovely caption. abit sloppy but thats ok for Christmas :)Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089075373700373443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-72898829327791933412014-12-24T14:21:16.900-05:002014-12-24T14:21:16.900-05:00Glad to see that we agree on the Monkees.

I first saw them in syndication and my mom talked about how much she loved Davy Jones when she was a young girl, so apparently she was a lot like Marcia Brady!<br /><br />Dolenz has always been my favorite, and I follow Mike Nesmith on Facebook because he is always so insightful and I can always take something out of his message.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours as well Kaaren!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-86792543572992927582014-12-24T04:56:33.938-05:002014-12-24T04:56:33.938-05:00Dee, if I didn't lobe you before your love of ...Dee, if I didn't lobe you before your love of the much maligned Monkees makes me love you now! Vastly underrated, hugely talented and their music has stood up to the test of time!!! I recently went to see Mike Nesmith performing solo and it was a joy...that voice brought me back to happier sillier times!<br />Thanks for everything Dee! Really...thanks! And Merry Christmas!<br />God Bless Us, Every One!<br />Kaaren<br />Mrs. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159006037679291862noreply@blogger.com
