Only 25 more days until Christmas!
7 days until Hanukkah
And Kwanza is a-happenin' too!
I am going to be all up on some holiday blogging and some holiday decorating!
I got the boxes out when we got home from Thanksgiving travels.
Never Listless has already started the holiday fun with:
Here is what else you can look forward to as we sing our way through the next 25 days:
- Ideas For Things To Do Around The Holidays
- Ways To Display Your Holiday Cards
- Holiday Food
- DIY Food Gift Ideas
- Hopefully, A Look At 1 Or 2 Holiday-Wild Houses
- Crazy Christmas Lights
- Crazy Santa Photos
- And... An Interview With Santa, Himself!
My goodness! There is a lot to do.
One of the most important things on your to do list ought to be getting your
HOLIDAY PLAYLIST ready! I am here to help you with that!!!
Thanksgiving has come and gone. There is no need to hold yourself back from putting on holiday music anymore. As soon as there is even a touch of cold in the air I am ready to hear Nat King Cole use his sweet voice to tell me about Rudolph.
In honor of the holidays getting closer and my constant desire to rock out to Christmas music I have compiled The Ultimate Holiday Playlist for you!
Actually, I have made three!
These are definitely more Christmas-oriented than they are all-encompassing-holiday-oriented. Sorry about that! I just happen to know a lot more about the song Must Be Santa and Silent Night than I do about The Dreidel Song.

In honor of the holidays getting closer and my constant desire to rock out to Christmas music I have compiled The Ultimate Holiday Playlist for you!

I can think of no better way to end a post than with the words, "New Kids On The Block - Funky, Funky Christmas."
You left off the Kiddie list...Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey and I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas...what were you thinking?? lol
ReplyDeleteHow could I have possibly missed Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey?!?!? You're silly! I think I can picture you singing that song. I will have to find it and give it a listen!
DeleteMaybe one year we will learn the words to all those great Christmas songs!
ReplyDeleteI know we'll keep trying anyway!
