Hello everyone! I can't remember the last time I posted on here, but I couldn't let a day like today pass without coming to join in on some of the fun! I try to post on Twitter when something exciting is happening in Carrie-land, but life just doesn't seem to leave me time for CF anymore.
I haven't had a chance to catch up on the Today show or Instagram Live, but I did catch most of the iHeart radio special when it was on YouTube. We use AT&T for our internet and cell phone service and they are running a promotion for a free 30-day trial for HBOMax using a special AT&T customer code. So, I'm pretty excited that I can watch the My Gift special all month long, although I wish we could buy it to keep forever as well. Anyway, I couldn't wait to watch the special any longer, so I watched it with my mom and my daughter at lunch today. I wasn't able to focus as much as I liked because they both talked during it. I literally don't even remember her singing HYAMLC, lol.
Anyway, I thought special was just beautifully produced. The set was perfect and the costuming was just exquisite. Carrie looked like Holiday Barbie in nearly every dress! My favorite performance was easily OHN, but it has always been my favorite Christmas song. The moment when she sang "Christ is Lord" and the stained glass windows appeared behind her was just breathtaking. I caught myself tearing up more than once during the special, especially watching Carrie with Isaiah in the recording studio and seeing some of the family pictures and videos. I can't wait to watch it a million more times between now and January 2nd (when my free trial ends, lol)!
