✵ Christmas Music & Festivities ✵

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Christmas is officially 7 days away and my tree is up and I'm ready to celebrate. Christmas is about spending time with you family that you wouldn't see everyday, reminisce about the good times, and yes, open gifts. Where I live, Christmas is very big deal. I mean we have the biggest and tallest tree at Rockefeller Centre, Salvation Army on every corner play music and ringing bells, and Starbucks with their warm tea and coffee. It's very cool to see a holiday besides Thanksgiving that brings people close through connections, food, and quality gift giving. I'd also like to share with you my favorite Christmas songs/carols. So here's a list of them.

Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas - Michael Bublé
Baby It's Cold Outside - Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé
Winter Wonderland
The First Noel - Josh Groban & Faith Hill
White Christmas - The Drifters
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - Michael Bublé
Ave Maria - Josh Groban
The First Noel - Natalie Cole
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! - Dean Martin
What Christmas Means To Me - CeeLo Green
Silent Night - Michael Bublé
Santa Baby - Kylie Minogue
O Holy Night - Adam, Julian Overden, etc.
Sleigh Ride - KT Tunstall

These are all of my favorites Christmas songs of all time and this year too. They are available for listening on Spotify Ltd. or can be downloaded on iTunes.

Christmas Time Is Here!

Well, we finally made it to the last month of the year, December. This month brings lots of joy, happiness, and comfort to many families all around, but it also bring cold, sadness, and an amount of feeling down. You may wonder what I mean by that. What I mean is that there's over one million people who aren't able to be with their family. Whether their members are no longer on Earth, no family members to be around, or they are homeless. I don't want talk about the negative this season though. We have Winter officially rolling in soon, School Winter Breaks, Christmas, and New Years'. For me, this a wonderful time of year to see all of my family and exchange words about the year that is about to leave us and what to expect in the year to come, thus being 2016. So this is basically an introduction to my so-called "End of the Year" posts. Starting from now until December 31st, you will see Christmas, Winter, and New Years' related posts all from me! I ask that you stay informed for when they come out.

Happy Holidays!

Love, Peace, & Candy Canes
