One of my favorite things about the Yule/Christmas season is, well, the music. I’m a complete and total music lover and Yule/Christmas tunes are my favorites. I have/had CDs of Yule/Christmas music from various sources, and have loved most, if not all of them. Some of my favorites, whether I still own them or not, are:

• Merry Christmas - Mariah Carey
• Home for Christmas - *NSYNC
• The Winter Album - *NSYNC (import)
• A Winter Garden - Loreena McKennitt (discontinued)
• To Drive the Cold Winter Away - Loreena McKennitt

Those are just some of the CDs I’ve had over the years and they’re my favorites. The only one I’m missing is Home for Christmas, as it disappeared into thin air at one point. I’m hoping to be able to find some of my favorites on MP3 or rip them to MP3 so I can place them on my iPod or phone for playing this holiday season.

What is your favorite music for the holidays?

I am going to be doing some work on this blog over the next few weeks. There are a lot of changes that are going on in my life at this point and I am going to overhaul the blog right along with my life. Expect to see some new things cropping up very soon.

Why in blazed can’t anyone produce an extremely simple, easy to use, ERROR FREE forum program? EVERY forum I have tried except phpBB has given errors out the nose, and I detest phpBB for it’s extremely complicated themes. That forum is almost impossible to customize and I will not use it - EVER.

I’ve been thinking of ways to expand and extend Got-Wicca.Org the past couple of weeks. I’m toying with the idea of bringing back the content that used to grace this website - but I’m not sure what to bring back, what to leave off, or if I should just start over new. I’m going to play around a bit with a plugin for WordPress that integrates a forum into the site, not that I’ve ever managed to have a popular forum in my life, but you know. Just for kicks, why not have one if I can.

I still need to get in touch with the people who responded to my invitation to guest blog on this blog. I also need to decide if I want to run the whole site via WordPress or if I want to have a separate site from the blog. *sigh* This should be fairly interesting to say the least. If you have any ideas for me, let me know. I appreciate any ideas you might have for what you want to see.

This is not a political blog and frankly, I don’t want it to be a political blog, but I must say, I am highly pleased that Obama won this election. I sent silent prayers to the Goddess that the appropriate man would be elected to the office and I now feel that those prayers have been answered. May the next four years be filled with light, love, and laughter.

I thought today I would blog about the little blessings I have, just to remind myself that it isn’t as bad as it seems.

So things aren’t as bad as they seem - although right now, with what I’m charged for my insurance, I’m beginning to wonder if I shouldn’t drop it. LOL I probably won’t, but still. LOL

I haven’t had the chance to get back to those who left comments about guest blogging and due to my phone being dead (that’s how I record my podcasts) and having a sore throat that won’t leave, I did not get record my podcast this week. I am hoping to be ready with a new podcast next week, and I’m hoping I’ll have a chance to get back to those who left the guest blogging offers.

I was just thinking about this blog and my new podcast - and I had a thought. While I can’t really do guests on my podcast due to my recording it via telephone (I use my cell phone which though it has speaker, we’d have to be in the same room together for it to work), I have been considering having guest bloggers here at Got-Wicca.Org. Now the topics would be up to the blogger, but if anyone were to be interested in possibly being a guest blogger here at Got-Wicca.Org, you can leave a comment on this post. I’d be more than happy to post an article for you.

I’ve been considering making the blog less of the focus of the site and resurrecting the informational portion of the site, making it first and foremost a resource site for Wiccans. I’d love to be able to start a community type of site for Wiccans to enjoy. So if you would be interested in becoming a guest blogger here on Got-Wicca.Org, like I said, leave a comment, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
