Blissfully ignoring world events to celebrate TSO and my weird luck in not only scoring my usual floor seats for my first show choice, but also scoring codes to my two backup show choices as well. the TSO gods smile upon me, and possibly my late dad who loved them too

I recently purchased a rare, out-of-print storybook version of Christmas Eve And Other Stories. I didn't even know it existed!
Me: Heyo that's amazing! I have this book too ^-^ It was a rare print that a lot of collectors seem to forget about, but the art is amazing inside! A wonderful find!!❄️

“We heard about this cello player born in Sarajevo many years ago who left when he was fairly young to go on to become a well-respected musician, playing with various symphonies throughout Europe. Many decades later, he returned to Sarajevo as an elderly man—at the height of the Bosnian War, only to find his city in complete ruins.
I think what most broke this man’s heart was that the destruction was not done by some outside invader or natural disaster—it was done by his own people. At that time, Serbs were shelling Sarajevo every night. Rather than head for the bomb shelters like his family and neighbors, this man went to the town square, climbed onto a pile of rubble that had once been the fountain, took out his cello, and played Mozart and Beethoven as the city was bombed.
He came every night and began playing Christmas Carols from that same spot. It was just such a powerful image—a white-haired man silhouetted against the cannon fire, playing timeless melodies to both sides of the conflict amid the rubble and devastation of the city he loves. Some time later, a reporter traced him down to ask why he did this insanely stupid thing. The old man said that it was his way of proving that despite all evidence to the contrary, the spirit of humanity was still alive in that place.
The song basically wrapped itself around him. We used some of the oldest Christmas melodies we could find, like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “Carol of the Bells” part of the medley (which is from Ukraine, near that region). The orchestra represents one side, the rock band the other, and single cello represents that single individual, that spark of hope.“
Whatever you celebrate, or even if tonight and tomorrow just another couple of days, may you have a good one, and never lose that spark of hope.
The spirit of humanity is still alive in this place.
