holing up at the magical safehouse after fleeing a murderous wizard
you’re not sure exactly where you are right now, though that is kind of the point. the world outside these windows is distorted, warped at unnatural angles that belie the dimension-bending magic at play. to say nothing of the windows themselves, stretched and asymmetrical as they are. but you do not have the energy to puzzle out the unreality around you. the adrenaline is no longer singing through your veins. all you are able to feel right now is the bone-deep exhaustion that weighs you down into the cushions, pushes—or tries to push—the terrible memories of what you have just survived out of your mind. there was blood. so much blood. but somehow what you remember most are the colors. bright flashes of magic slicing the dark, washing the battlefield in the vivid pinks and greens that you so desperately want to call unnatural. and yet, you had seen something like it before. when you were a child, piled with your sisters in the middle of your living room, trying to stay away from the windows as a hurricane raged outside. the rain on the windows now feels so familiar, in that way. and the bodies of your friends—the ones who had made it out with you—warm and pressed against yours. you and your sisters had survived that hurricane; you are surviving still.
💖 Such a warm and loving scene, it reflects the love that continuously flows through the beautiful hearts and out into the world to make it more beautiful...🎶❤️🎄🕊️
How do we get into the Christmas spirit mentally with all the hustle and bustle of the everyday life?
With the festive season just around the corner, we find ourselves more stressed and tired than in any other time of the year.
Christmas spirit is not there just yet for me, and no holiday shopping or endless mugs of hot chocolate is going to bring it. I’ve been through a rough time in the last few years, and I guess I lost it somewhere along the way.
This year I was determined to change my mindset and celebrate Christmas like in the old times, when I was just a kid. Back then all things were possible if you believed in the “The Magic” of the holiday season.
As a child everything comes naturally, however as you grow up, you lose touch with that important part of yourself, and you need a little push to embrace the magic of the holiday season. Or as I used to say: you need few extra sprinkles of Christmas magic.
So, I started to try them all: nice moody ambiance, crackling fire in the fireplace, scented candles with mood-enhancing perfume, but something was still missing: the Christmas Songs.
Being a piano player myself, that was the easiest task. I put myself to work and this is what it came out.

I hope my video will create the same heart-warming and comforting feeling that did for me, while working on it and it will remind you of all your childhood Christmas memories.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Calming sound of a crackling campfire for 10 hours to create a cozy atmosphere in your living room or bedroom, or wherever else you want to listen to fire sounds. If you like listening to crackling fire sounds while sleeping, but don't want the heat that goes with an actual fire, try listening to this video instead when you hit the bed
