Holiday Countdown: 45 Days! Diana Krall - Christmas Time Is Here

Back to my banking days. The Charlie Brown version played daily.

I hated it. I cringed every time it came on.

I couldn't stand this song. The kids voices? Maybe? I don't know. Just wasn't my thing. I actually don't mind it too much when I'm watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. Maybe the show itself puts me in a different state; one that allows me to appreciate it more.

But when I really listen to it, the words are beautiful. And I love this version. Very mellow. Relaxing. Different. I'll take this version. :)

Holiday Countdown: 40 Days! Boney M. - Petit Papa Noel & Expensive Elves

So I finally caved. I fought it long and hard. I bought a stupid Elf On The Shelf. I thought, "I am such a Christmas lover and I don't have an elf? Really, my problem is Pinterest. Even though I have entertained the thought of getting an elf I never had the urge. Then I started using my Pinterest account  (another thing I fought off even though I joined years ago). Yeah. The hook was random acts of kindness lists on top of the funny things you can do. I know we don't need a silly looking...wait...CREEPY looking doll...a doll that looks like a North pole version of Chucky....a doll that will kill you in your sleep. Yeah we don't need one of those. But I started thinking it would be cute. My 11 year old (who also thinks it looks creepy) of course knows about Santa but part of the unveiling of that mystery involved Santa always being alive in our home. We carry on as we always have. The cookies, the carrots, the letter ( if we get around to THAT), making sure the fire...

Holiday Countdown: 47 Days! Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmas Time

Ah, my days in banking. 9 straight hours of holiday music while I worked. Yeah, I focused on the music. Couldn't get enough of it. This was a song that I wasn't as fond of back then. It was something that grew on me. I'm not sure what it was. But somehow it made it to my list. Maybe it's memories of a job that I enjoyed, a song from my youth...whatever it was I have a fondness for it now.
