Random Peeks Into Our Everyday Lives

Thursday Thirteen #18

Thursday Thirteen
 

If my post on the 22nd of November led anyone to believe that I wasn’t a fan of Christmas music I must announce now that the opposite is true. Starting the day after Thanksgiving Christmas songs of every type can be heard in our house and car. We have four Thursdays in December before Christmas so I figure I can drive you all nuts with four Christmas themed 13s, starting with a random list of Christmas songs.

    We don’t really celebrate Christmas as it’s also my dad’s birthday, but there are some good Christmas songs I really like. =)

    Never even thought of the Carpenters. LOVE her voice, don’t you? Obviously you do. Love Amy Grant’s voice as well. So unique. I like Vince Gill’s and Barb Streisand’s Xmas CD’s – and I even have a Partridge Family Christmas CD. Glad I found your blog

    I have to admit I’m a bit like Susan. It’s way too early for Christmas songs yet.

    Skittles, that is a WordPress widget/plugin. I had to try about six different ones before I found one that worked the way I wanted it to.

    Kewl holiday choices … reminds me it’s time to dig out MY favorites too. Perhaps listening to Christmas music will get me away from the computer and doing some decorating and baking around home.

    Thanks for visiting my ’13′ at Happily Retired Gal. I’ve also shared at Sacred Ruminations … just because ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,
