Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. I wish you peace and simplicity not only today, but everyday. You’re still here, and that my friends, is the greatest gift of all. 

I hope you have a wonderful day.

    Peace to you this Christmas. P.S. THANKS for the meatloaf recipe. The husband loves it and we both dislike Stove Top stuffing—who knew it could produce the perfect (to us) meatloaf!

    This is so lovely, merry Christmas one and all.
    I wonder if that little girl went on to sing professionally? I’ll do some research.

      As a mom of three autistic children this definitely was empowering. Read her story from her website. Wow!

      Kaylee Rogers, 11-Year-Old girl from Donaghadee, Ireland with Autism; Sings Moving Rendition Of ‘Hallelujah’; you wouldn’t know that from listening to her sing.

      The young girl at the age of 10, a student at Killard House Special School in Northern Ireland, who suffers from autism and ADHD; stunned the online world with a choir rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” recently.

      Colin Millar, the school’s principal, told BBC News that Kaylee is often shy — but not when she sings.

      “All my kids have talents, as well as barriers, and this is hers.”

      “She’d be a very quiet little girl, but when she sings, she just opens up,” he said.

      Kaylee started attending Killard House a few years ago, in order to help her address learning delays. She’s overcome some incredible challenges to share that voice with the world and singing has helped her build up her confidence

      “For a child who came in P4 (7 to 8 years old) and wouldn’t really talk, wouldn’t really read out in class, to stand and perform in front of an audience is amazing. It takes a lot of effort on Kaylee’s part,” Millar said.
