11.13.2014 - for music

I have found the older I get, the pickier I am with the music that I allow in our home. I know I am getting old, because I absolutely cannot stand listening to most pop music anymore. I find the songs incredibly obnoxious and the lyrics are awful. I will proudly admit that I have been listening to the local classical station on the radio. The boys are taking piano lessons right now, and I would be lying if I didn't say that I hope they learn to play beautiful classical music. (they are hoping to play Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter music. I'll take it)

I think one of the reasons I love listening to Christmas music so early in the season is because the music is just plain good and happy. We have been listening to the traditional Christmas station on Pandora and we have a few favorite cds in our car that we love. One of the songs that I have on repeat is this version of Angels We Have Heard on High. Love it! Plus about a million other Christmas songs. 

I feel music has such great power. My hope is to have that power be good in our home.

(this is not meant to offend anyone who loves different types of music. I know there is still lots of good with all types of music. except country...that's just gone way down hill :) )
