Helping others...

helping herself Kiel’s Judy Walsdorf gets joy from volunteering  by Mark Sherry

K

iel’s Lions Club did not have to look any further than its own club this year to find a very worthy candidate to be named the Kiel Citizen of the Year for 2021.

That person is lifelong Kiel area resident Judy Walsdorf, who has done much for the Lions Club as well as several other local causes. Walsdorf was honored at the Citizen of the Year dinner held Sunday, Oct. 24 at Millhome Supper Club.

Asked why she has volunteered so much time over the years and continues to do so at 74, Walsdorf said, “To help people. If I don’t do it, who is going to do it?”

While many people have benefitted from Walsdorf’s efforts, she said she gets as much enjoyment and satisfaction in return. “You feel good when you can help people out,” she said. “Let me do it as long as I can.

Volunteering is doing something for oneself.”

News comes as shock “It was a shocker,” she said about getting the call from Willy Mueller that she would be this year’s Citizen of the Year. Fittingly, she had just gotten home from helping out at a Lions Club

Judy Walsdorf holds her Kiel Citizen of the Year Award received at a dinner at Millhome Supper Club on Sunday evening, Oct. 24.

Casino Night when the call came.

She said she “bawled” and also could not sleep that night after hearing the news.

Friend Joie Baldock nominated Walsdorf, pointing out to the Lions Club that they “have a member that is more than deserving of this great honor.”

Baldock wrote: “Judy is the true Ever Ready Bunny. She doesn’t stop! She works tirelessly and gives unselfishly to her community, her church, and her family.

“I do not need to tell you of her

dedication and the countless hours she puts in for the Lions Club—from helping to organize the Kiel Picnic, dealing cards for Casino Night, the vision screening, etc. I could go on and on but you already know what she does.

“Judy also assists with making and delivering meals for the Meals on Wheels Program here in Kiel.

“Judy is also very active in her church where she helps to organize and does the cooking for funeral dinners. She also secures the help needed and gives us our instructions.

WOMEN OF INSPIRATION | Judy Walsdorf Often times she will cook the potatoes at home and she always bakes a pan of bars for every funeral.

“I have to share a story about one of those dinners.

When we get to church Judy has everything organized and started. The helpers come in and she tells us what to do. It is like a welloiled machine. We have to hustle and sometimes the days get long. On one particular long day I was complaining to Judy how tired I was and I couldn’t wait to get home and put my feet up. She informed me that when she got home she had to feed the chickens, make a pan of homemade caramels for a friend because he really liked them, and then go deal cards at Millhome for Casino Night. Like I said, she doesn’t stop! Oh, and when she has time she also goes in to help clean the church.

“Judy is the biggest supporter of her four daughters and her grandchildren. She is to every activity of theirs that she possibly can and is their biggest cheerleader.

“Judy neither wants nor expects any accolades or recognition, but she is so very deserving.”

Early years on farm Walsdorf’s parents—Bob and Clara Schweitzer— farmed in the Steinthal area until she was in second grade when the family moved onto Fremont Street in Kiel. She attended Sts. Peter & Paul Grade School and Kiel High School, graduating in 1965.

She went to work for Leverenz Shoe Company and Tecumseh Products Company in New Holstein before embarking on a 381/2 year career working in the lab at Land O’Lakes in Kiel. She said she enjoyed the work and the people at Land O’Lakes.

On July 2, 1966 Judy married Ed Walsdorf and the couple farmed on CTH HH west of Kiel for a little more than a decade after marrying. They also raised four daughters—Wendy Schwarz of Chilton, Tammy Pekarske of the Whitelaw area, Jennifer Hanson of Plymouth and Amy Plautz of Kiel.

It was while she was working at Land O’Lakes that Judy began to catch the volunteer bug, volunteering to help organize events such as company picnics.

president—and will become president again in June.

She said she is most proud of her work helping to organize the huge Kiel Picnic, something she has done from the time she first joined the club. “I enjoy it,” she said.

Participates in many activities Walsdorf also said she enjoys providing magnifiers to people who need them.

The club recently delivered a power chair to a man in need, and they provided vision screenings to over 500 local students this year.

She will be helping the Kiel Lions with Delightfully Calumet Christmas decorations, and also

has helped the club with highway cleanup along STH 32/57 east of Kiel three times per year.

Baldock alluded to Walsdorf’s cleaning of the church. Judy said she is one of four “Holy Dusters” who go in every now and then to dust the church. She also served in the past on the church’s Finance Committee.

For the past 15 years she has delivered Meals on Wheels twice per week in Kiel and said she never wants to give that up. “You meet so many nice people,” she said.

Undoubtedly, the many people Judy has helped over the years would say the same thing about her. 

Joining the Lions In 2001 a female coworker at Land O’Lakes was asked to join the Kiel Lions Club—a club Judy’s husband had already belonged to for about 20 years. Judy decided to join at the same time as that coworker.

They were not the first female members of the Kiel Lions Club—that distinction belongs to Cheryl Knier— but they were some of the earliest female members.

“They (the men) accepted us really good,” Judy said.

“The wives of the members always did the majority of the work.”

Judy became the club’s Tail Twister and eventually served two years as

What supply chain?

Small town stores, events have plenty for holiday season

N

ational reports indicate this is going to be an unusual Christmas shopping year.

Because of supply chain issues caused by a number of factors—including labor shortages brought on in large degree by the COVID-19 pandemic—many retail “experts” are saying it already might be too late to order and get some gifts in time for Christmas.

While that is likely true about many items, there will not be a problem finding great gifts or great experiences in the list which follows.

Museums and holiday activities still are going to be operating and do not rely on any supply chain. Local shops and businesses have plenty of inventory on hand and largely will be unaffected by ships stuck off the West Coast or shortages of truck drivers.

So if you want to guarantee finding some great gifts and having some great family time this holiday season, check out the following area businesses and organizations on the pages which follow.

The Sheboygan County Historical Society (SCHS) has been in existence since 1923, serving all of Sheboygan County in collecting, preserving, and educating people about local history.

“We share our local history to all and we use our artifacts in programs and exhibits to educate,” said Travis Gross, executive director of the SCHS. “We serve over 15,000 visitors annually including approximately 3,000 area elementary students. We assist with research projects highlighting our history and offer public programs throughout the year.”

The SCHS has over 35,000 artifacts in its collection, having a large amount on display at any one time in its main museum and four history buildings.

Gross said, “The staff is committed to progressing the organization by relating our history to state, national,

The SCHS is preparing for Holiday Memories 2021 as they celebrate “Home for the Holidays!” Holiday Memories revolves around their collection of H.C. Prange’s and Boston Store animated characters who each year can be found in fun, new exhibit settings. The two historic homes on the museum campus—the David Taylor House and the Weinhold Log Cabin— also are decorated for the holidays.

Holiday Memories 2021 will run from Nov. 26 through Dec. 30 (closed Dec. 24 and 25). Hours will be Mondays and Tuesdays, noon to 7 p.m.; Wednesdays through Fridays, noon to 5 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Because of the museum being a county facility, masks are required in all buildings. There will be disposable masks available upon entry if needed.

to local not-for-profits in exchange for service. Even if you are not inclined to offer a monetary donation, make sure to receive a complimentary copy of the event booklet from the volunteers in the igloo.

While many of us immediately think of canned goods when we hear the words “food drive” please also consider donating personal care items which typically run low at the food pantries. These may include shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, tissue and toilet paper, diapers and baby wipes.

What can you expect at Making Spirits Bright? When you drive the 1.1-mile route, you begin by tuning your radio to 89.1FM. The lights are choreographed to the music played on your radio.

A sampling of some of the displays is Whoville, Magical Igloo, Glistening Grove, and Candyland. The perennial favorites are the Icicle Tunnel, Stars, and Racing Arches. In addition to the lights show, you may even catch a glimpse of the local wildlife that live in the park.

If you prefer to contribute food, here are some of the most requested items: canned soup, canned tuna or chicken, oatmeal, cereal, canned fruit, pasta and sauce, and rice. Please also watch expiration dates of donated items.

Visitors to Making Spirits Bright may also choose to contribute a monetary donation at the completion of the route. These funds support the building and refurbishing of displays and other costs associated with this incredible undertaking.

Decorative wooden bench seating and the wood and brass interior will make you feel like you are riding a street car of yesteryear.

And don’t worry about the weather outside; the trolley is heated to assure comfort.

While at Quarryview Center, consider purchasing raffle tickets to enter the drawing to win wreaths specially crafted by professional local designers.

Enjoy complimentary entertainment from local musicians. Here you’ll also find concessions for sale such as frosted cookies, brownies, popcorn, hot chocolate, cider and coffee. Relaxing with some refreshment in the festive Quarryview setting is a great way to begin or end your Making Spirits Bright evening. The Memory Ornament tree is also found here and you can purchase a customized ornament for $15.

One of the most popular attractions at Quarryview Center is Santa. He’s in the ideal setting for capturing an annual holiday photo. Bring your own camera or phone

though since the volunteers are not able to take photos with Santa.

Quarryview Center is open every Friday through Sunday from Nov. 26 through Dec. 19, 5 to 9 p.m.

So each Monday through Thursday, you can drive through Making Spirits Bright but won’t be able to include a stop at Quarryview too.

In the nine years that Making Spirits Bright has taken place it has grown in popularity with people from outside Sheboygan County as well. The event has added to the attractions that make Sheboygan County a tourist destination.

When you are ready to be a part of the behind-thescene activities, there are many ways to volunteer. The success of the event hinges on hundreds of people who invest thousands of hours.

The large scale of Making Spirits Bright means work goes on year-round and there are volunteer options for people of all skill levels and availability of time commitment. For details, visit the Volunteer page on the website at the end of this article.

Continuing the tradition, shop owner Kevin Hansen is repairing shoes using old world craftsmanship, as well as some new adaptations to keep up with today’s shoe styles.

Pagel has passion for petunias ...and all other fflowers, of course, as new owner of Chilton shop Floral design is a passion for Kristy Pagel, and that goes a long way toward explaining why she is now an owner of Just For You Flowers and Gifts in Chilton.

Pagel and Rick Schwenck took over the business on Sept. 1 from Jim and Diane Coffeen who served the community for 16 years.

“It’s hard to believe that it has been over two months already,” Pagel said. “Floral design is a passion and part of my Pagel family bloodline.

I have my aunt Linda and cousin Wendy to thank for teaching me the basics back in seventh grade. Working part-time for 10-plus years alongside them and the entire Baumgartner Floral ‘family’ helped me grow my skills, pay for college and was instrumental in my dream to ‘someday’ own a flower shop.”

She added, “Rick and I believe in supporting one another’s dreams. We have lots of them, so all I can say is ‘thank you honey.’ We have strong dairy roots and you might say we added to our agricultural footprint by adding floriculture to our portfolio.”

Just For You Flowers and Gifts has a team of six part-time members (five designers) plus Pagel. The Coffeens remain part of the Just For You team.

Marion Kasper do ask for our help as either helping or buying property outside of our comfortable traveling area and we are able to help them via our network of professionals.”

She added, “We do all types of real estate sales— residential, county homes and hobby farms, land and small commercial. Both Jane and I live in the country ourselves, so we are very familiar with the ins and outs of country living.”

As just a two-person company, besides being a selling broker Kasper also is manager of the company. She is responsible for the day-to-day run of the business plus all the paperwork involved in getting the information out to the Multiple Listing Service and the public. This means being involved from the moment a potential client calls until they file the final paperwork after a sale.

Asked about where she

sees her business going in the future, Kasper said, “Being a small company, we enjoy meeting and getting to know our customers and clients. Each year brings new faces with many of them becoming friends.

Each year is a new challenge which we have enjoyed.”

Kasper Realty works to live up to its motto—“Your dream, your home, our job”—and from what customers say they are accomplishing that. “Our clients have enjoyed working with people who have time to listen to them,” Kasper said. “In a world where everyone has become just a

number, it is nice to be able to put a name to the face and be remembered from year to year. This has been shown by all the past repeat customers and clients, and their families, who have come back to us when they need our services.”

Traveling has become an interest of the Kasper family when Marion is not working. “lnvesting in a timeshare has been a great thing for me and my family,” she said. “It has ‘forced’ us to take time out and explore the rest of America.

Recipes, Recollections & Reminiscings from Marge

By Marge Petts

By the time most women (and some men), reach the age of 30, they have mastered the art of gift giving. If you don’t think you have it – or don’t care if you do – maybe it’s not too late. Read on.

When my children, now grown, say things to me like, “Mom, I don’t know what to get you and Dad for Christmas, birthday, etc.”, they get a lecture. It’s not the amount of money you spend that makes me happy – it’s

the thought you put into the gift or gesture. It’s knowing something that someone enjoys doing or collecting.

Keeping your eyes and ears open for hints of what makes someone happy or brings a smile to their face.

One day my oldest daughter came to my house and told me to close my eyes.

She then presented me with a large black, tin owl that hung on the wall in my kitchen for several years and now hangs on the front of our shed in the backyard. He got moved to

Christmas Sugar Cookies Small Batch Cookies 1 stick salted butter, plus 2 tablespoons 1/3 cup sugar 1 cup flour Spritz disc for flattening and imprinting cookies before baking Sprinkles (optional) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Use an electric mixer to cream the sugar and butter, whipping the two until the butter is almost white and the mixture is light and fluffy, almost like a slightly gritty frosting.

Stir in the flour.

Form the cookies into

1-inch balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Flatten them into a disc shape if you’re topping with sprinkles before baking.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

Decorate as desired.

Drunken Cranberries 1 lb. of cranberries 1-1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup brandy Heat brandy and sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Put cranberries into a 9x13 inch pan. Pour

the brandy mixture over the cranberries. Cover tightly with tin foil.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven and turn one corner of foil up to release steam. Cool and enjoy.

the shed because we started to hang black decorations on the front and sides of the shed.

She knows I love owls. Price – 2 dollars.

My younger daughter purchased a book she knew I wanted, written by Sully Sullenberger, the pilot who landed his plane in the Hudson River. She then had the opportunity to meet him at a conference she was attending and stood in line to have him sign the book, also taking a photo of him signing it! When she gave it to me for my birthday, I was speechless. She had also tucked the photo she took inside the book.

My husband bought and hung a large wreath on our fireplace chimney when I was at work one day. I came around the corner and saw the wreath and it took my breath away. The gifts and the thought behind them were priceless.

It is the act of unexpected generosity – there is giving and then there is generosity.

Generosity is not about money, there is no price tag involved.

If money or the lack of it puts a damper on your gift giving – consider gifting your loved ones and friends with that special item that has been passed down through the years – or that someone has admired for some time. It could be a piece of jewelry, or favorite piece of china or glassware, salt and pepper shakers or even a holiday decoration. It is always more blessed to give than to receive.

DINERS LINE UP LIKE TRAIN CARS FOR THE UNCOMMON MENU OFFERINGS, AMBIANCE OF PJ CAMPBELL’S A person does not have to be a railroad buff to enjoy the dining experience at PJ Campbell’s at the Depot in Plymouth—they just have to be a fan of great food, period.

located at 114 Depot Rd., and owners Patrick and Judy Campbell gladly share some of the community’s railroad history along with their personal history in the business.

The ambiance of dining in a former railroad depot and the experience of enjoying some uncommon menu items—many with an Old World slant— are just the frosting on the cake for the top-notch food at PJ Campbell’s. Or make that the warmed vanilla sauce on the Austrian Apple Strudel—just one of those menu choices which diners will not find in too many other places.

The first railroad to Plymouth was built in 1859 and was known as the Sheboygan and Mississippi Railroad. It later became the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Railroad.

It is hard to not feel surrounded by history upon entering the restaurant

| HOLIDAY 2021

The first depot was built in 1859, and was located about 35 feet south of the present site. This depot served as a passenger and freight house for 13 years. In 1872 a Union Depot was built. A very destructive fire occurred on July 12, 1887. It consumed the Hub

Great food offerings lie inside the menu of PJ Campbell’s at the Depot.

FEATURED RESTAURANT | PJ Campbell’s at the Depot House, the Union Depot, two grain elevators, a coal shed, two cheese warehouses and one freight warehouse.

The fire also badly warped the rails.

This same year the second Union Depot was built, serving until 1912 when succeeding railroads constructed their own depots. By 1912 the dark red, weathered railroad depot—which once echoed to the throaty rumble of the C. & N.W. steam engine—had been dismantled. The present building was constructed in 1912. In 1973 the building was purchased and renovated into a full restaurant.

In 2011 Patrick and Judy Campbell purchased The Depot. In the process of remodeling the cocktail lounge, the original floor was uncovered. As is often the case in remodeling projects, a big challenge appeared—an area of the floor measuring 8 by 12 feet was missing.

“Our neighbors across the tracks came to our rescue by generously donating some of their flooring to finish our project,” Patrick said. “For that, we will always be grateful.

My wife and I then opened PJ Campbell’s at the Depot serving authentic German dishes with an American twist.

Along with my wife Judy and our daughters Jackie and Emily, we welcome you to PJ Campbell’s where you are truly family.”

Right from the appetizer menu, diners at PJ Campbell’s at the Depot know they are in for something a little different.

The first item on that menu is Pommes Frites—French fries fried to a golden brown and drizzled with white truffle oil, fresh grated parmesan and fresh herbs with aioli sauce on the side. The size of the Twisted Bavarian Pretzel is not to be believed, or try out Fizz Uselding’s Luxemburg Nachos— assorted sausages, sauerkraut and tomatoes served on peppered chippers and homemade jack cheese sauce, scallions and sour cream.

There is a whole page of German specialties on PJ Campbell’s menu, including Potato Pancakes, Potato Dumplings, Spaetzle, three different kinds of Schnitzel, Rouladen, Sauerbraten and Pork Hocks & Kraut.

But there is plenty of “American” fare at the restaurant as well, including several different burgers, a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, Ribeye Steak Sandwich and Rowdy Reuben, among others.

Entrees include steaks, ribs, pork chops, shrimp, salmon, tilapia, Bengali shrimp, Three Cheese Mac & Cheese, and more.

PJ Campbell’s has an outdoor patio which is open during the warmer weather months.

Reservations are recommended, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Please call 920-893-8600 for reservations or to check on availability for groups larger than six people.

Fall and winter hours are PJ Campbell’s at the Depot are Tuesdays through Thursdays, 4 p.m. with the kitchen serving until 8 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 4 p.m. with the kitchen serving until 9 p.m.; and Sundays, 4 p.m. with the kitchen serving until 8 p.m. 

WHY DO CHIROPRACTORS USE “PALPATION”?

W

e all have heard the phrase, “Laughter is the Best Medicine.” Want to know what else works really well? The touch of another human being. Sometimes a hug or a steadying hand on the back of your hand can work wonders as well.

And there’s even research that back this up. In one landmark study, 16 happily married women were subjected to the threat of a mild electric shock; touching their husbands’ hands brought immediate relief from the resulting anxiety. Even a stranger’s touch was somewhat calming. “We know that anxiety decreases immune function and makes you get sick more often,” says study author Jim Coan, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at the University of Virginia. “If touch can help you be less anxious, you’re more likely to stay well.”

This is one part of chiropractic that I really enjoy, but also occasionally find to be challenging. There are many people who do not like to be touched, or are uncomfortable with the idea. Yet, I have also seen people get healthier after they were touched. Sometimes all it takes is a good adjustment with a chiropractor’s hands to solve chronic neck or low back tension.

26

| HOLIDAY 2021

Palpation is the most frequently used diagnostic technique in chiropractic care and is a clinical cornerstone of most physicians’ practice. It is a manual, non-invasive method of determining where a patient has structural or functional problems in the body.

In palpation, chiropractors use their hands and their detailed knowledge of anatomy to effectively see what is happening in the spine and its supporting structures, such as the muscles, tendons and ligaments. As your chiropractor palpates your spine, he or she will look for subluxations in your vertebrae, which are misalignments that may be causing pressure on spinal nerves, or other abnormalities that may be causing problems in your musculoskeletal system.

There are essentially two forms of palpation—static and motion. As the name suggests, in static palpation the patient remains still while the chiropractor palpates the spine and tissues to identify any misaligned vertebrae, protruding disks, and areas of pain or inflammation.

In motion palpation however, the patients joints are mobilized, bending and flexing under the expert eye and hand of the chiropractor. He or she will move various joints through different planes, observing the patient’s

HEALTH | mind & body range of motion and where a joint may “lock up.” They will also measure the patient’s amount of flexibility, muscle strength, stiffness, reflexes and general neurological function.

Palpation may be used at every visit so that a chiropractor can quickly determine whether your condition has improved or not since your last visit and they can see which areas need the most care and attention. Based on what your chiropractor finds during palpation, he or she may then order additional diagnostic tests—an x-ray, MRI or CT scan, for example—to get a more detailed view of your condition.

❝II have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health.❞ health.

- Voltaire

Based on all these diagnostic tools, chiropractors can better determine the type and frequency of treatment necessary to resolve your condition in a way that is holistic, drug-free and non-invasive.

Palpation is simply another tool in my personal arsenal of techniques to keep you moving well and pain-free.

And that’s the only way we should aim to go through every day. 

Songs of the season

two such different men could come together to produce this special song. At the time David Bowie was a 30-year-old British glam rocker. Bowie, aka Ziggy Stardust, recorded hits such as “Space Oddity” and “Ashes to Ashes.” His struggles with drug abuse, addiction and mental health were almost as well known as his music.

Still, after the show’s recording, Crosby called him a “clean-cut kid and a real fine asset to the show.”

M

usic has always been a big part of Christmas joy for me.

As a Hilbert Girl Scout I loved bundling up for our annual Christmas caroling night. We would tromp all over the small village, ring doorbells and treat folks to our best renditions of “Frosty,” “Jingle Bells” and “Deck the Halls.”

I also have fond memories of singing in the choir for midnight Mass.

The church would be glowing with lights and I wasn’t sure if it was a Christmas miracle, but everyone sang in tune on Christmas Eve. Some Christmas songs weren’t sung in church but definitely had a Christian message. “The Little Drummer Boy,” for example, tells the story of a poor, young lad who was called to the Nativity of Jesus. The boy saw everyone bringing gifts to honor the King (Jesus) but realized he had no present to bring. The boy offers to play his drum and, of course, it is the best gift of all.

While I’ve never been a huge fan of Bing Crosby or David Bowie, their duet pairing two holiday classics—“Peace on Earth” and “The Little Drummer Boy”— has become my favorite Christmas song.

“The Little Drummer Boy” was already an old classic when Bing and Bowie put their spin on it. An American composer, Katherine Kennicott Davis, wrote a song called “Carol of the Drum” back in 1941. The tune was based on a Czech carol sung by choirs.

The Trapp Family Singers recorded the

The author’s brother, Dennis Totzke, was a cute little drummer boy at age 2 in 1961. song as “Little Drummer Boy” back in 1951 and it became a pop culture hit.

So how did my favorite version come to be? The song was being taped for a 1977 Bing Crosby Christmas special that had David Bowie as a guest. The story goes that Bowie walked into the taping and asked if he could sing something else. “I hate that song. I’m doing this show because my mother loves Bing Crosby,” Bowie said.

Bing’s kids remembered Bowie arrived on set wearing a full-length mink coat, full makeup and sporting bright red hair. “We were thinking ‘Oh my god,’” Mary Crosby related.

Nathaniel Crosby said the taping almost didn’t happen. “The producers told Bowie to take the lipstick off and earrings out.”

Instead of finding a new song, three producers/songwriters composed a counter melody “Peace on Earth” and it took the stars less than an hour to perfect the song.

When both men sat at the piano they realized they were both amazing musicians.

“You could see them both collectively relax and then magic was made,” Mary Crosby recalled.

Still, it’s hard to imagine how

Bing Crosby, age 73 at the time of the duet, was a smooth baritone crooner with more than 300 hit singles such as “White Christmas,” ”Blue Skies” and “June in January.” Bing was one of the most popular entertainers from the 1930s to the 1950s, while Bowie wasn’t even born until 1947.

While Bing enjoyed his duet with Bowie, it would be the last time they sang together. Five weeks after the recording, on Oct. 14, 1977, Bing Crosby died of a massive heart attack after playing 18 holes of golf in Madrid, Spain. The Christmas special with that special duet aired the end of November 1977 in the U.S. and on Christmas Eve in England.

David Bowie died in 2016 at age 69 of liver cancer, due in part to his cocaine use.

Still, “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy” lives on as one of the top 15 classic rock Christmas songs.

In November 1982 it climbed to #3 in the U.K. and became one of Bowie’s fastest selling singles. The song also spent six weeks on the Billboard charts in October 2017.

The song with the beautiful melody and lyrics, sung by two men generations apart in age and style, brings a smile to my face and puts hope in my heart each year at Christmas. For as Bowie and Crosby sang together, “Every child must be made aware. Every child must be made to care. Care enough for his fellow man. To give all the love that he can.”

Merry Christmas. May we all honor Jesus and play our best for him. 
