Dearest Webjournal,
Just wanted to say hi. It's been a while. Thanks to all those who went out and bought my album the first week it hit stores. I really appreciate the support there! Makes a perfect Christmas gift! ;) And of course, if you're not into the hard copy (I'm not really anymore) ...there's always itunes as well.
AnyWHO, ...so, is anyone else fighting a nasty cold these days? I always look forward to the Christmas season only to be fighting a cold every year. Man, ...it's no fun! Good thing I am not in the middle of touring or recording, ...that's always fun. But I have had some live performances here and there, and I swear, the people that hear me sing during the winter months will never really know what my true voice sounds like because I am always fighting some kind of sickness! Haha! That's just the way life goes sometimes I guess! I've almost kicked it though, ...so wish me luck there. I want to enjoy my Holidays! ...speaking of which, what is everyone doing for the Holidays? I am spending it with family of course and I think this New Year might be the first time I am NOT performing anywhere, which is kind of a breath of fresh air. Or wait, ...nope, ...last year was my first year, ...and yes, I DO remember it was refreshing. ;) So, I look forward to that again this year. Next year, my tune might change though. I plan on doing a lot of my touring during the Summer months though, ...because I really do enjoy having Christmas and the New Year off. We shall see though. Performing is always a good time!
What about your favourite Christmas traditions? I know for me, my family would always do a big dinner on Christmas Eve, and then we'd all participate in the nativity, ...and do some kind of talent show or presentation of sorts. When we were really young, it was more about a brother struggling through a trombone solo (very cute, ..have that one on tape), ...or magic tricks, ...and of course Christmas singing. Good times. In my teenaged years, we started to make it a tradition to do music videos all night until Santa came. We would laugh our heads off all night. Good times. Good times.... Anywho, ...I think I've written enough for one day! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this season! Remember what it's all about!
