Background music, anyone? Played it out of my head. Just tap and go about your business, browsing blogs or sipping tea. I hope this piece adds joy and reverence to your holiday.

Thanks, T. Same here. Xxxx
Happy Holidays, my dear Diana! š All the best, my friend! š xx
Thanks, and I wish you the joy the song invites.
Merry Christmas! š
Merry Christmas Diana! Another gift you have and share. You are truly multi-talented, and we are blessed to receive your gifts.
Thanks for the kind word, Brad. I appreciate your time.
Make it a special one.
Hug, Diana
Diana,
A lovely rendition of a lovely song. Thank you. I take it that was a Holistic Wayfarer performance?
Merry Christmas
Right. I was going to start a My Music page next to my About but learned that my theme doesn’t allow multiple pages. I appreciate your time this holiday. Hope it’s a wonderful time with your kids (the ones you’ve been able to see). *Squeeze hand* =)
Thanks, Diana. I am having fun with my youngest son (17). He goes back to his mother tomorrow.
Squeeze is very much appreciated. š
Am so glad to hear!
Thanks for sharing it and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Blessings, Natalie š
Thanks for the sweet word, Natalie. I am grateful for the support you have lent this year! I hope your Christmas was memorable. Would you clarify if this post actually made your READER and did not come to you by email? Thank you.
Xxxxxxxx, Diana
Diana, it showed up in my email and on my reader. Blessings, Natalie š
Thanks, Natalie. You confirmed the issue’s been resolved. I appreciate your time.
O Holy Night is one of my absolute favorite Christmas songs. Such a beautiful song, and beautifully played. A fitting and magnificent end to my wonderful day. Praying blessings over you and your family tonight. Merry Christmas!
Rob, I was thinking of you today! Hoping you enjoyed sweet time with friends, if not family. I’m so pleased to hear the song blessed your heart. Gracious audience, though. Diana
Most of my family is in Indiana, but my mom lives here in Florida just across town, so I spent the day at her house. It was a wonderful Christmas Day in it’s own right, but it got even better with the news of my brother’s engagement. So excited for him and his new fiance!
I got this post through my Reader. I’m not subscribed through email.
Glad to know about your day, family, and the helpful clarification on the Reader. Looks like this post went out 24 hrs after the posting. (I’ll keep praying for what I spoke of earlier.)
Good to hear the happiness in your voice, Rob.
Lovely.
Thanks for the tune Diana. I’ve always considered it one of the most beautiful Christmas Carols. I even remember singing it as a solo at an Episcopalian Midnight Mass ever so long, long ago. āCurt
Solo…..niiiiice. Curt, would love to hear an audio…
Afraid the voice has long since dropped into raspy…
Beautiful Diana, it brings sweet dreams alive within my mind! You are so talented…God bless!
You’re hard pressed to outdo your own comments, but this is one of my favorite. Thank you so much, WB.
Happy Holidays, Diana! Beautiful piano playing. Beautiful song.
Thanks for the sweet word, Diahann. I appreciate your listening. Hope it’s a great week full of luv. =)
Oh holy night – my favorite Christmas song – and beautifully played. Thanks for visiting my blog and bringing me here to enjoy a quiet moment.
– peace to all in 2014 and to you.
Thank you for the blessing, Jeanne – and taking the time to listen.
Best,
Diana
It’s always a little like Christmas when the work of the Wayfarer appears in my reader. I hope you and yours had a Christmas as magical as the piece you shared with us. My only regret is not being able to listen to it when it was posted. *shakes fist at WP*
Laughing – for real. You’re too much, R! You’ve blessed and enriched my journey so. Much of the magic – at least that I have felt – has come from the affection, respect, support I have exchanged with my fellow artists. Where we share the love for the written word, ah – the perfect word, it’s been even sweeter. And now I know we have fondness for music in common as well.
Thank you for the holiday wish and I hope it’s a wonderful year-end with your family.
HW
You are truly amazing. This is my favorite Christmas song. I try to get people in my Church to sing it every year. When I fail to find someone who will, I attempt it myself. I always hope they will realize how badly I butcher the song and will vow to sing it themselves the next year. Much love.
LOL, oh why in the world would it be that hard to get singers for this? It’s a glorious song. I played this on Cmas Sunday during worship. It was a special time of praise.
I am grateful to have connected, Barbara! Thank you dearly for the support.
Xxxx Diana
You are welcome. I think people are afraid that have to be perfect. God knows we aren’t. He is happy that we try.
We are not perfect. Which is wHY Jesus, who WAS, came on our behalf.
(Not meant to be a poem LOL.) Just in the mood for line breaks.
Thank God that Jesus came!
My absolute favourite Christmas song, stills gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
=) Hug.
So beautiful. There is such peace and comfort in that song,written or performed as an instrumental or vocal piece. Thank you for sharing your gift and a blessing of peace this season. Happy New Years, may joy, hope and peace always go before and after you.
š
THANK you for blessing me back! Happy, happy new year to you and your precious family.
Hi,
This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. Thank you for posting such a beautiful rendition.
Nancy
P.S. Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
I sure appreciate the listening and the blessing you leave me, Nancy. Thanks so much for the support this year. Keep up the fun blogging.
Diana
Beautiful music indeed. Beautiful.
YOU have added beauty to my blog. You need to know that. THaNK you for listening – not only to this piece, but to the other songs.
D.
Oh Holy Night is one of the best Christmas melodies. I have goosebumps after listening to your rendition, so my soul gives you a big thumbs up! X
=) I consider goosebumps to be among the highest of praise, as it’s a helpless reaction. Thank you.
this gave me goosebumps. beautiful!
I told another listener gbumps, a helpless reaction, make for the highest praise. =) Thanks so much for your time here and the follow. I know it was not an impulsive decision.
i saw the other comment only afterwards and thought mine must sound copied, but really it was beautiful. the follow is so i can keep up to date with your enchanting-ness. š
*Smile* Really, you flatter me. I am no enchantress. Glad you joined us. Feel free to pipe in. Busy discussions here.
Blessings, Diana
and to you, Diana. š
I am late to wish you a merry Christmas but not to wish you a great 2014 š
Thanks, Paula. Keep up the fabulous work.
Thank you for inspiring me to continue playing my musical instruments, and using my talent that god has bleaaed me with. Beautiful simply bueautiful! I’ve been wondering now if it would be a good idea to post my songs that I’ve composed. Do you know how to do that, or a link that describes how to input media files into a wordpress post?
Cheers,
James
James, I am clueless as I am terrified of anything that blinks and sports buttons. My husband took care of the recorder, I guess is what you call it, and loading it onto the computer and online. Sorry. Once you get a link to your piece online, simply add it in your drafts page (draft of a new post). MP3 is one file I know WP takes.
I appreciate the commendation and am so pleased you’re inspired to keep going. You really should. I am largely self-taught, both in the writing and playing. Didn’t take lessons very long, and the Holy Night was improv.
You might see if a friend can tell you how to get your music online. And yes, of course you should blog that.
New and veteran bloggers had a lot to say on this, How to Succeed as a Blogger. Hope it helps:

Diana, this is so very lovely! It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs. I can’t sing it too well since it’s so high–my range is short.
Blessings ~ Wendy ā
Good to know it’s a fav, Wendy. Gracious of you to listen.

“If I may but touch the hem of her garment, I shall be whole”
nice music by the way, much appreciated, you have inspired me to post Dr. John’s version of “Silent Night” in my blog
Guess what? I am happy to burst the bubble of your inflated notions of moi. This is a repost. =) I don’t need to sit higher than I ought on anyone’s ledge of esteem. It got only about 8 likes in 4 min. =) Won’t go out by email, though. Just the Reader. š¦ By the way, I’ve been around WPress and NO one will fly at THAT RATE of likes. There now, no need to reach for my garb. That’s cool you’re gonna post that!

Thanks for sharing š
Been thinking of you, J. Thx for keeping up.

Oh yeah? Wonder why?
Absolutely beautiful Diana. May I ask if this is you playing the piano?
YeS. =) Thank you, C.
WOW! Thank you for sharing. It was a blessing! š
Grateful for your audience and so pleased it blessed you, my friend. =)
Diana
Beautiful! Many thanks. Wishing you and yours much joy and peace this festive season and throughout the year ahead š
Thought of you last night, M. Thank you.
All the best to you and the family in the coming year. I look fwd to continuing our journey together.

Diana
Likewise. Take care š
Gorgeous photo and beautiful music. Merry Christmas to you, Diana š
Thanks, CC. I appreciate your listening.
My deepest wish for a warm, healing year-end…
Diana
Thanks for sharing D. And a very Merry Christmas to you and your family. BTW, I once sang O Holy Night as a solo at an Episcopalian Christmas Eve midnight mass as a teenager. āCurt
Oh hoah! SoLo! Would love you to sing for us on your board. =)
Heh, heh. Not much chance of that, D. The voice has long since gone south. š āCurt
Truly beautiful! Thank you š
Appreciate your listening.

Diana
One of the classic carols so greatly loved.
I love the song Oh Holy Night. I could listen to it over and over again. Merry Christmas.
=) Thanks.
Diana
Recently, I asked a friend to record some piano music for me, so that I could sing with it and post it on my blog. The song that I chose to post the other day was “Do You Hear What I Hear.” I might sing a few more and add them on. Oh Holy Night is one of my favorites. Wouldn’t it be fun if the musicians on WordPress could somehow “virtually” come together during the holidays and make a beautiful symphony of sounds!
Your post is lovely, Mary. Actually, I’d been batting around the idea of a collaborative arts project for a year now. And I think your wish is a viable one. I just won’t be able to nurture the inspiration for a while. I really hope things look up in the new year for you.
Bug hug,
Diana
I have always thought that this song sounds really good in German!
How interesting! (Former college linguistics major here.) I always wanted to learn German.
Actually I hated trying to learn it and was always better at French! It’s still pidgin tho! Mange tout as Del Boy would say! Bon Noel!!!
Thanks, D. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Appreciate your being here, J. Thanks and warmest wishes to you and yours, my friend.
Diana
Wonderful music. You’re right about it adding joy and reverence. Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Sweet of you. Am grateful for your audience.
Merry Christmas. =)
Diana
One of my favorites and I loved to play it on the piano š
Thanks Diana. This is my absolute favourite Christmas song. Every time I hear it, it still leaves me with goose bumps! xo
You’re the best. Thank you, Deb.
Love,
Me

So beautiful Diana ~ love this song, and you’ve done it justice!
Hey, thanks for the good word, R. The improv wasn’t perfect.
But that’s life.
Hope it’s a wonderful holiday wk.
Diana
Thank you D., wish you and your family the same!
You have courage performing unrehearsed before an audience of over 7,000 people, but you carried it off magnificently.
*LAUGHING*
I am always happy to deflate readers’ generous impressions of me. I did take advantage of the good recorder we have and the ability to clip unwanted portions. Took several takes but this one made me grimace the least. Thanks, MG.
Happy Holidays D!
It doesn’t look much like the holidays around here, but the song helps.
Thanks. You won’t believe: JUST when I was thinking of you and planning to visit, you tapped in today. YAH. That very minute. No white Cmas in CA either – unless you chase it down in the mountains (but uh, it’s the cold I fled to come out here so that wouldn’t make sense ^^). Nice hearing from you, S, and I’m glad you’re alive after all that running.
Yes! I’ve been meaning to catch up with your blog. Just been so busy around here with holidays, visiting family, races, dog dying, etc.
Ha, yeah, the only time I want it cold enough to snow is if I’m on a ski trip. Luckily there isn’t much skiing in Texas.
=( Dog….Sowee to hear.
Yeah, i actually felt her last breath and her heartbeat stop. But we have her ashes back now and that strangely helps.
…..oh!!!! Oh my…
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Family. I wish you all the best for the 2015.
Thanks so much for the season’s greetings, Adrian. I’d actually wanted to say the same on your board but was rushing back to my son’s desk for our lessons. No, homeschooling doesn’t stop. Not for Koreans. LOL. Hearty thanks for the support this year. I’m glad to see you blogging your heart.
Diana
A thrill of Hope… Indeed! Merry Christmas!
Really lovely, dear Diana—thank you for sharing your gifts with us :).
Appreciate your listening – and thank you for the golden praise.
Have a blessed wk.
Diana
Beautiful. It reminds me of going to midnight mass with my grandparents. Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a good holiday.
Aw, what meaningful feedback. Thank you. Same to you, and I wish you all things bright and good in the coming year.
