"blue christmas"



"i'll have a Blue Christmas without you
i'll be so blue just thinking about you
decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
won't be the same dear, when you're not here with me."



yeah, i know...it's the grandest and the merriest of all holidays, but here i am, singing about a blue Christmas....


(i never thought i'd be able to blog again -- because of the string of sad events that happened before Christmas...)


well i got every reason to be blue -- our very dear friend, Marlon passed away, due to kidney failure, last Dec. 04, 2011, and even though it was already eight years ago when my dad died, (a week before Christmas), i still remember the sadness and the loneliness and the pain of losing someone you loved, this time of the year, when everyone is happily celebrating.

but you cannot stop it from happening, or postponing it some other time, Christmas will always be Christmas. it's the greatest birthday party in the whole wide world, so life must go on, knowing that the ones we loved will always be with us a midst the celebrations, whether Christmas, New Year, birthdays, or even simple get-together with friends.

"another year over, a new one's just begun..." we'll never forget the moments that we shared with our loved ones...their spirits live on among us....
