In Which One Begins 2026 Business as Usual: Ora et Labora on the Unknown

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy  first day of January and 2026! Hope your last one of 2025 went fine? Do let me know! As for me, the beginning of 2026 was one where I slept through most of it, or at least did my try on napping, because the noise was great. I spent the firework moments at my grandma's apartment, but we did not see much of each other during that moment, she went downstairs for a small gathering with her neighbors, and the neighbors had an appaling taste in background music. I was tired and with not much patience for doing anything, so I retired to my own room here, and then went for the balcony to see the beautiful spectacle. In comparison to last year, it was much less "magical" so to speak, given I already knew the procedures from 2024-2025. I think for me it went business as usual for a special day, grandma was stressed out due to the food she had to take downstairs, I was abliged to help with some preparations, on my end, I...

Song of the week! In which we explore a lovely Christmas song with Riley Elmore!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday to you! And good afternoon! So nice to be here! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope everything is going nice! Lovely month of December and lovely Christmas season, definitely so wonderful to have reached this time of the year! I still have a lot to do for college, and I still have to study, but overall I'm almost in my vacations! Before we can go over to our song of the week, I'm so happy to see christmas decoration everywhere, so let me just show you guys another picture of it, just some more details! This season is amazing for me, I love taking pictures, it is truly wonderful!


I love this Christmas bear so much, it looks so wonderful in the colors of the season, and I saw these Ixoras around, I had to take a picture of the bear in it, and I'm quite pleased with the result! Ixoras are truly amazing flowers I think, they're ordinary but honestly so genuine and pleasant! This is indeed a good prologue to our song of the week, that of course will be around Christmas!
This one was covered by one of my epic favorites, Riley Elmore, and recently released on his Christmas EP! Ladies and Gentlemen: I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm!


Beatifully performed by Riley, this one is not quite known as other Christmas songs, actually it feels more of a song for the Winter season, but anyway, quite fitting regardless, and it's actually one of my favorites too! I first heard the version by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, which is also superb, but I loved that Riley brought this one to his new work, his music selection is really clever and knowledgeable, bringing both classics and more faded pieces of Jazz. His whole EP actually is a lovely addiction to the Christmas season, and for the year in general.
I really love Christmas songs, all of them quite please me a lot! Hopefully this one will bring more to your season, and this month will be filled with different songs for you guys to enjoy here on the blog! This song don't have a Youtube Video yet, but when it does I'll upload this blog with the link to it, plus the link is for Soundcloud, which is free, so it shouldn't be a problem anyway.
The always mind blowing Riley is what we have for today! Thank you so much for being here reading this! You're the very best! Wish you a happy Christmas always and hopefully I'll see you on the next post!
PS: Here's the song by Ella and Louis (on Youtube and Spotify):
