December Makes Me Feel This Way

I'm taking a quiet moment this evening to be still.  The Christmas season is coming to its peak, and the hustle and bustle is in full swing.  But tonight I am still. Listening.  Being.

The Christmas season is such a special, magical time, it's hard to put into words. More than any time of the year, the season reminds me of God's wonder, of God In Us.  There's a little known song by jazz artist Dave Koz that captures the simple magic of the season in a way that few other songs do, at least for me.  I hope you enjoy this song and that it reminds you of the Spirit of the season.

Merry Christmas!






December Makes Me Feel This Way, by Dave Koz

Autumn waves goodbye
And the changing of the seasons
Brings a change in me
I see with different eyes
I get a sense of all of nature's possibilities

It's like the world is new
And precious as a baby
Life is sweet a children at play
And love is truly there in every heart
December makes me feel this way

Friends and family
Strangers on the street are smiling at me
Inhibitions disappear
Laughing in the snow
I wish that I could know this feeling
Every moment of the year


The world is new
And precious as a baby
Life is sweet a children at play
And love is truly there in every heart
December makes me feel this way

The Spirit will guide me
Whenever I'm lost
It's gonna find me
And when I am unsure
It will remind me
Of who I am, what I can be
December is inside of me

The world is new
And precious as a baby
Life is sweet a children at play
And love is truly there in every heart
December makes me feel this way
