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 go on a sleigh Ride!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday to you and good evening as well! Welcome to another post of the Divagation Store! And also happy December and happy Christmas season! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope things are going really well for you! As for me, today I did a test and I guess I was fine, though we'll have to wait to see what is the final result! Good news is, I might have a chance of not losing any subject this semester, which is a Christmas miracle! Regardless of my position on this course, this is a blessing I should take on my life! I still have a test on Monday, but gladly I'm also being able to celebrate Christmas and December and my semi-vacations, in my way and with the energy that I have available! 
So, here we are today on another Song of the week day! And I just wanted to bring two versions of one of my favorite Christmas songs! Sleigh Ride! One by the amazing Ella Fitzgerald and the other by The Ronettes! These are my favorite versions of this wonderful Christmas song! 



Sleigh Ride in the Central Park, by Childe Hassam

This very exuberant and exciting song became one of my favorites when I finally heard it carefully in the beginning of 2016, on the movie Joy! It was the very wonderful version sang by The Ronettes! I also listened to it on the Christmas special A Very Murray Christmas on 2015, which is a fantastic piece of Christmas show that I need to write about soon! Anyway, the song has everything to be a fantastic song of the season, and it does just that! I wish I had snow here, it's full summer where I live, there're no sleighs or reindeers, which breaks my heart, but well, at least I can listen to the song! 
The more sober and jazzy but still wonderful song by Ella Fitzgerald is what it comes next! As usual, her voice catches me from beginning to end, and her interpretation of the song is really fantastic! I love jazz and how it suits the special season so well! Indeed fantastic! How I love Christmas songs in general! 
This song is really incredible, and if you don't have Spotify, don't worry, as the have the Youtube link to it right here!


And for this post this is it! But there's an album of the month coming soon today! Yay! But anyway, thank you so much for being here, you're the very best and you know it! See you guys soon!
