"December Song"

To open the holiday season and get us in the mood, here is, back by popular demand, the loveliest and saddest holiday song ever written... the beautiful "December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)" by George Michael.


"Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your every New Year dream come true

Sweet December song
The melody that saved me
On those less than silent nights
When snow would fall upon my bed
White sugar from Jesus
And take me to the day
She could always smile
The Virgin Child would always show, you see
Just to save me
(Just to save me)

There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that morning they’d decided
That the war would have to wait

There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
So I dreamed of Christmas

Maybe since you’ve gone
I went a little crazy
God knows they can see (the child)
But the snow that falls upon my bed
That loving I needed
Falls every single day
For each and every child
The Virgin smiles for all to see
But you kept her from me

There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that morning they’d decided
That the war would have to wait

There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
And so I dreamed of Christmas
Yes, I dreamed like you

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your every New Year dream come true"

BEAUTY: Illustration--Louie Zong

Louie Zong is a student at Tufts University in Boston but already has an impressive portfolio of work. His website "Drawing A Day" charts his efforts to create one new illustration every day for a year, and some absolutely charming work has come out of this project. He is clearly inspired by classic children's books and their illustrations.


He also cites early Hanna-Barbera cartoons as an influence and it is easy to see in "The Sun Also Rises," an animated short he recently finished, which can be seen on Vimeo here.
