it caused me a fair bit of stress, and I don&#8217;t need that these days. . . but I did just go back and listen to all the songs from last year, and that put me in the Christmas mood &#8211; along with the big fluffy snow that is falling gently to the ground today &#8211; it looks lovely for a run . . . . but ______________(insert excuse here), so instead, I will post a new Christmas song that I found today. . . .<\/p>\n<p>I love a lot of things about Mike Tompkins. . .<\/p>\n<p>1. &nbsp;He is very talented do this without any formal instruments &#8211; amazing to me&#8230;.<br \/>\n2. &nbsp;Whenever he does other people&#8217;s songs, he always changes the words so that they are &#8216;appropriate&#8217;. &nbsp;I LOVE that!<br \/>\n3. &nbsp;His sweaters in this song are. . . classic<br \/>\n4. &nbsp;This song just gets better and better as it goes on!<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part is the last Chorus. . . . .<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy and Remember there is more to Christmas than buying stuff that no one needs!<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"color: #333333;
