Today I did some iTunes shopping for Christmas music to fill my iPod with songs of the season. I love to listen to Christmas music while wrapping gifts, and decorating. It can certainly could put anyone in the spirit!
I came across a song that I haven’t heard in a long time, O Tannenbaum. After hearing just a few notes of the song, my eyes filled with tears. It’s funny how music can bring back a memory so fast.
When I was in Kindergarden, I learned a song: O Tannenbaum. I was so proud that I learned this German song, even though I never really remembered all the words. I couldn’t wait to make the trip to Ohio to sing it for my Grandpa, I knew he would be so proud of me. And of course, when I started to sing it for him, he joined along. He had the biggest smile on his face as he sang a song that was very familiar to him.
I still don’t know all the words to that song…but today with the power of Google, I looked them up! And I listened to the whole song with fond memories of my Grandpa playing his accordion and singing with all his might. Of course, I bought that song from iTunes, and from now on, I will listen to it every Christmas. My hope is that everyone has a Grandpa like mine. He was pretty amazing.
