In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means.

Album of the month! In which we talk about the Superb Christmas Record by Hannah Huston!

And here I am again! With the album of the month! But for the ones dropping by right now: hello to you! And welcome! Wonderful to have you here and I wish you the best!
So, going back to the album of the month, today I listened to the new christmas album by an artist I've been a fan and been following since 2016, Hannah Huston, that I first heard of on the 10th season of The Voice. It is simply SUPERB! I'll just go ahead and share the link to it right now and then talk about it, so you guys will have an idea of what I'm talking about...


First of all, the title of the album is really wonderful, and it delivers what it says: Believe in Christmas. Believe on this wonderful holiday, on the magic of it. After listening to the superb voice of Hannah, so hard to define because it is just so spetacular, please believe me, it is spetacular, it is hard not to believe in it. Featuring many known christmas songs, she brings her immense personality to it with blues, jazz, soul, that even evocates the name of another wonderful soul artist that I met on The Voice: Michael Sanchez. After listening to that, and knowing the similar background of Michael and that he also has work on Christmas, I wonder how spetacular it would be for them to have a song together, that would shatter earth, that is for sure! But coming back to Christmas and Hannah, this is indeed an album that caught my attention way too much, going beyond Christmas even, it's quality work for its diverse rhythms, for the hard to believe voice of Hannah, her great approach to classics of the season, truly some album that has the power of improving days. This is indeed quality work, and I couldn't recommend it enough for you guys! If you guys want, go give it a listen and I think there's a good chance you won't regret!
And for today this is it! Thank you so much for being here! Wish you the best and happy December for you!
