Holiday Countdown: 46 Days! Nat King Cole Trio - All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)

I remember growing up listening to this song on a Christmas album that my mother eventually threw out. I was devastated when that record disappeared. The version I had was a kid singing it, but I like this version too.

I sat there staring at the jacket, hours on end, much like our youth today stares at their phones. No worries, I'm not going to get into that, as I'm one of those people too. I was too young to understand that I too was going to lose my teeth. I was quite little. I just sat there, singing along even though I had no idea what I was singing about.

Ah records. How things have changed!

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: 41 Days! Adam Sandler - The Chanukah Song Parts 3 & 4 and The Christmas Song

Continuing from yesterday. You know, I had no idea there was a part 3 and 4 until I put together the Parts 1 & 2 post. Too funny. I'm not up to date as you may have noticed. I'm also including Adam Sandler's The Christmas Song, which is not on my playlist. Part 3: Part 4: The Christmas Song:

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.

Holiday Time Is Here!
