Just going to take it easy today and share two of my favorite things. One is the instrumental version of Christmas Time is Here from Vince Guaraldi, which most of us know it from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Just a gorgeous piece of music that has, for me, a most calming effect. It’s one of those songs that immediately transports you in an emotional way to to place of warm memory
The other is the beautiful page from above from the Limbourg Brothers masterpiece, an illuminated manuscript called, Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, from the 15th century. This image depicting the month of December is a favorite of mine. The color and composition works much like the Vince Guaraldi piano piece for me, taking me instantly to a more tranquil inner landscape.
Take a look, a listen, and have a good and peaceful day.
Merry Christmas Gary. I enjoy the music you share as well as the artwork. A peaceful and healthy 2019 is what I wish for you.
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Jeanne. Hoping your wish for the new year comes to be.
Thank you Gary. Best wishes to you and your family.

And a happy holiday and a peaceful New Year to you and your family, Sheila. All our best wishes to you.
Wouldn’t it be something, to bring together the people from the Limbourg Brothers manuscript and the Charlie Brown Christmas sound track? Don’t the ones in the shed look like they might be listening to some piped-in Vince Guaraldi already? For some reason, that amuses me, and seems entirely holiday-ish!
