Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope this year is the year you accomplish each and every one of your dreams and plans. I’ve been traveling with the family for the past week and haven’t been able to pay proper attention to the blog. We’ll be traveling next week as well but, after that we’ll be back on regular schedule. 🙂 Until then enjoy every minute of your days.
xoxo,

I did this post last year and since so many people loved it as much as I did, that gives me an excellent excuse to post it again today. If you are a frequent visitor of Belle Vivir, you should know by now my obsession with Christmas. As a matter of fact my Facebook bio for more than 6 years reads “In love with my family and Christmas” and that hasn’t changed a bit. Enjoy!
I’ve never spent Christmas in Europe, yet. Undoubtedly Christmas is warm and inviting everywhere but there is a certain special warmth in Europe during this time that it’s not found anywhere else. Perhaps it’s because Santa Clause is in Northern Europe somewhere? and so the feeling of Christmas is more palpable? Or, maybe it’s because of the way the homes are built, of solid stone and stucco that make the ambiance of Christmas feel cozier. I definitely would like to spend Christmas in Europe one day and these images just make my wish stronger.

I let it fall, my heart and as it fell, you rose to claim it It was dark and I was over Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they’re strong But my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms Without falling to your feet But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true And the games you play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cry ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there, close my eyes Feel you here, forever You and me together, nothing is better
‘Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cried ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Where I felt somethin’ die, ’cause I knew that That was the last time, the last time
I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cried ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Where I felt something’ die ‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
