ANYWAY today is the first Sunday in November! As an adult, it almost always catches me by surprise. Usually it goes something like: Hey, I can't believe it's already November, my stomach is still sore from all that Halloween candy. And it's all dark and depressing outside already. Sigh. But hey, tomorrow is Sunday and I can listen to Christmas music! (insert husband eyeroll here).
Since it's only one day out of each week you don't wear out your whole Christmas music collection and it breaks up the drear of November with sparkly visions of cozying up by the fire and eating too much shortbread. Can't wait.
My earliest Christmas music memories all revolve around the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Listening to their Christmas album sends me back to the green carpet living room with the fireplace and the big stereo with the record player and the tinsel gumdrop tree at our aunt and uncle's house down the block.
Enjoy.

WOOOOHOOOO!!! Way to keep the torch burning! Today, I'll be listening to some tapes Borghild made off the radio back in the 60's - you know, when it was okay to talk about the real reason for Christmas. Apparently the announcer reminds everyone of Jesus' birth and how important that was. And it was CJOR - a secular station! Thanks for getting the ball rolling with such a beautiful song.
LOVE! Carol of the Bells is my favourite Christmas carol of all time... and that video was amazing. I was so happy a few days ago when I went into Oshkosh and they had Christmas music playing... it is time to embrace it. :o)
So funny because I put together a Christmas music post along the same lines but was saving it for down the road. your brother is so lucky to have you!
