Oh! Ho! Ho! Shake up the Happiness! I soooooo needed to hear this song! I have been feeling a little overwhelmed the last couple of days – wake up the happiness! I will never look at a snow globe the same again!! Oh! Ho! Ho! It’s Christmas time!
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
This is not necessarily one of my favorite songs, but so appropriate at our house this year. Mary lost her first front tooth at Disneyland, and the second front tooth at an advent celebration on Sunday night – she was soooo excited! She sang this song all the way home (from the party – not…
Shawn Colvin – I Don’t Need Anything This Christmas
As far as music goes – Duane introduced me to Shawn Colvin way back when in our relationship. . . and she has been a part of our life ever since. . . . Last year we did a simplified (????) version of Christmas by making all our gifts. . . . which in turn…
Owl City – Peppermint Winter
We LOVE ‘Owl City’ at our house – and I was so excited to see they had a Christmas song! Jack loves Owl City too . . . and part of this song just reminds me of Emma – hmmmmm. . . let me give you a hint . . . . oh to have…
Lorne Greene – Christmas Is A-Comin’ (May God Bless You)
For those of you who did not grow up in my house, you are probably wondering how this Bonanza Christmas made the cut???? Well, we listened to this on the reel to reel for so many years ( not yet technologically advanced yet? or maybe we were for the 70’s?) – while we made mincemeat…
I Need a Silent Night Amy Grant
OOOOOHHHH! Listen to the words of this song! Amy Grant, you hit it on the head with this one!! Thank you! I need a silent night, a holy night, to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise. . . . I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here, to end…
Holly Cole Two Thousand Miles
This was a good day – when I first heard this song. . . I can’t tell you the exact year – I guess if I looked back in my scrapbooks. . . maybe – anyways, Duane and I went to a concert of hers at Christmas time one of those years that we lived…
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Holy childhood memories!! Although I have never seen the video – if I close my eyes, I can feel, and smell, and remember. . . . putting the 8-track in our speaker system in our house – we were quite technologically advanced hey? and decorating the tree with my brother Brad – good times!
While You Were Sleeping
Oh my. . . I have never heard this song. . . until today. Lots to think about. . . especially after Elder Uchtdorf’s talk on Sunday at the Christmas devotional.
Remember Annie?
I went through quite an ‘Annie Lennox’ phase when I was in University – it actually reminds me of my days with Barb Stewart . . . but that is another story for another day… My good friend Katherine sent me to listen to this song today – and it so made the cut! I…
