As we scurry about doing the holiday shuffle be sure to take some time to stop and sip the cocoa and enjoy listening to the sounds of the season. I have to remind myself to do this often as I hurry about preparing children for the Christmas Programs at schools, add on extra performances for children and families to enjoy through the holidays and wind down with the fall semester of classes. Music can be a big part of calming and relaxing and there are wonderfully relaxing CD’s available to listen to and enjoy. Instrumental songs of holiday classics or visiting the library’s selection of classical tunes of Bach, Mozart and other masters can be checked out and enjoyed at home by both parents and children. There are lullaby tunes or yoga CD’s that are available to help calm and relax your child after a hectic and busy shopping trip to the mall. So keep the Bah Humbug’s at bay and enjoy a relaxing listening song today. Happy Holidays. Ms. Maureen
