The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

When you think of Christmas you may think of a cold wind and a fresh snow, but in most parts of the world that rarely or never happens. It never happens in places like the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand because it’s tropical or summertime there. Here in the U.S. you’re likely to have a cold wind but no fresh snow. Some parts of the country experienced a White Christmas this year. In fact the Dallas-Fort Worth Texas area saw its first White Christmas in well over a century with at least 3 inches of fresh new snow on the ground.

If a cold wind and a fresh snow is your ideal scene then may you enjoy your “Winter Wonderland” on this Christmas Day.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

Christmas means so much more to me today on this fantastic journey than it ever did yesterday.

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born !
Christ the Savior, is born !

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

It’s in the lyrics:

The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

It’s well past 11 PM EST on this Friday night, and that’s not too late for some good old-fashioned Disco music. I heard the Disco beat high atop our Dinner table at P.F. Chang’s at The Falls. (That’s right – for the second Friday night in a row Dinner was served at the popular China Bistro.) Disco was also in full-swing just outside Johnny Rockets as the ‘Johnny Rockets Dancers’ were kickin’ it to K.C. & The Sunshine Band‘s “Get Down Tonight”. So Friday night is clearly Disco night in Miami – even in 2009 !

Tonight on my own personal ‘Disco Party’ it’s all about Christmas:
