Today’s post is the first of doubled-up songs as we head into Christmas.
Song one is the classic Do You Hear What I Hear? sung by Anne Murray.
Our school choir learned this song when I was in grade 8 in Ontario. I sang an alto harmony, but I also listened to the other voices, including the sopranos’ melody. I went home and converted the melody and harmony parts to keyboard. Consequently, I still remember most of the alto harmony I sang then, and can sing along with Anne Murray’s version–forty years later!

Today’s bonus song is O Come All Ye Faithful by Celine Dion. No reason. I just like it. (Posted by CelineDionVEVO.)
I am a multi-genre author of literary fiction, fantasy, and paranormal, and writer of non-fiction articles on parenting, writing, education, health, and travel. My background encompasses both the sciences and the arts. I teach at a specialized clinic for learning disorders and mentor young authors. In addition to writing and teaching, my passions are weather, Indian food, gardening, and music. I have played eight musical instruments and spent many years immersed in taekwondo and karate. In my youth, I was an avid canoeist. I was born in Prague, Czech Republic, grew up in the Great Lakes region of Ontario, Canada, and moved to Alberta in 1988, where I raised four children.
