Christmas cards from the Jonas Brothers have all the pre-teenage girls going goo goo for the crooning trio – Kevin, Joe, and Nick.

As I walked passed by my daughter’s room the other day I noticed a Christmas card from the Jonas Brothers hanging in the corner of her dresser mirror. My daughter is crazy about the Jonas Brothers, and as a member of their fan club, she received the celebrity Christmas card during this past holiday season. For anybody out there who doesn’t have a pre-teenage girl, the Jonas Brothers are the newest heartthrobs of the music world. They remind me of when I was her age and Andy Gibb was all the rage.

There are three Jonas Brothers in the band – Kevin is the oldest at 21, Joe is next at 18, and then there is Nick. Nick Jonas seems to be all the girls’ favorite brother. I guess maybe because he is the closest in age to the “tween” set at 16. Nick Jonas has also been a great inspiration to millions of Type 1 diabetic children. Nick was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2005 at the age of 14. It is particularly inspirational to me; my son was also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two years ago at the age of 8. Nick Jonas is living proof that this disease does not have to keep you from pursuing your aspirations or goals.

As a parent of a pre-teen girl, I am always concerned about the music she is listening to. It used to be you only had to worry about what they were watching on TV, but now you have to worry about what they are listening to on their iPods. Song lyrics have gotten very suggestive over the years, and as a mom, I am thankful for groups like the Jonas Brothers. I got to know the lyrics of their songs – word for word – as my daughter sings them aloud everyday! One of her Christmas gifts was their newest album. I have to admit, after hearing them over and over again, I find my self sing them from time to time. I hope she keeps their Christmas card hanging on her mirror for a while; I shutter to think who else’s Christmas cards will be hanging on that same mirror in a few years from now.
