Monday's Music Moves Me...Last of 2021

Hello my musical friends, it has been a long time since I did 4M's and of course I am late. I am so behind even on what day it is. Ah well. Anyway, I am jumping on this last time for the year with the annual Christmas music month. Let me get started before it is another day.

First up: I love this rendition of the drummer boy. If you have never heard it before then get ready to be wow'd!

Next: This second group I have loved when I first heard them as contestants. This song is one of my favorites and their rendition is incredible.

Finally: As it is the end of the year...thank God!...it is fitting to play this song.

I will be returning in 2022. I wish for peace, hope, health, and happiness to you all!

Adventure #Santa & Adventure Santa Book #Review @AdventureSanta #AdventureSanta

We all know that at this time of year our dear friend, Santa, is very busy. I mean with all of the presents to make, wrapping, and getting the sleigh ready, he has a lot on his plate. But did you know at one point in time he used to take time out to go on adventures? He did! He enjoyed things like baking cookies, or playing games with kids. I mean, who do you think taught the reindeer, reindeer games?

The problem is, with Santa so busy, he was having a hard time going on all those adventures. So, he co-created, with his head elf, a soft plush doll of himself to that so he would still have fun. Guess what? Adventure Santa came alive!
He has a backpack for ideas of fun things to do too. And you know what else? He came to my house!

He did! I had to pick him up at the bus stop though. I guess he couldn't bring the sleigh as the real Santa needed it. So, the bus stop had to do. I wonder what the bus driver thought about Adventure Santa being on his bus?

Anyway, I checked his backpack to see what he had in store for me. Wouldn't you know it, the first thing on the list was the bus stop? He also had on there to drink a cold polar pop. Wow, how did he know? It figures he would like something called, "polar."

I noticed he planned on watching for snow with friends. Even though I live in the desert, it does get cold here. Maybe we will see some snow.

Overall, I had a great time with Adventure Santa. I know he is off for other adventures to see many other families around the world. Maybe he will be coming to your house? If he does, make sure to read the hard back book he brings along with him. It is a wonderful book full of colorful photos. The book tells the tale of how he came to be and what he began doing once he left Santa's shop.

Oh, and one more thing. He does bring his own note cards too. Maybe a mom or dad might want to write down and idea or two for the kids of the house. Certainly, he carries his own ideas in his backpack but parents can always help too. You know, so that he can enjoy adventures with them as well.

I hope you enjoy Adventure Santa as much as I did. Happy Christmas!

#ChristmasSpirit ...Wreath Making

When my Mom was here over Thanksgiving, we went thrift store shopping. Now if you know me at all, I love a good thrift store. I usually am looking for something to be creative with or books. As it turns out (and usually does) I found both.

I found the following:
*some embroidery hoops
*green garland
*pinkish wood bells with red ribbons

I put together a extremely short video of what I did with them. Enjoy and happy Friday. (link up)

Advent Revlog...The Santa Keys #Santa #Christmas #Advent

When I posted Wordless(ish) Wednesday yesterday, I forgot to post my Advent re-vlog memories. SO what better time than right now!

This one is a story I told about my son when he was real little. For the record, my son is now 25 and has a child of his own who is full of wonderment. Hope you enjoy!

Wordless(ish) Wednesday...Fashion Statements Or Just Plain Ugly! #Christmas #WordlessWednesday

Every once in awhile I take off for a day out with my friend Storme. I have spoken about her before. We don't go out too often, maybe once a month, but when we do e have fun! A week ago was such an outing.

We decided to go to Target, which we actually never go to. While there I was talking to her about how people wear those ugly sweaters and how they have become so popular, even having parties.

Well, guess what we found. Fashionable, right? Which is your favorite? Tell me in comments.

Monday Music with some Peace...2nd Week of #Advent #MondaysMusicMovesMe #Christmas

 It's Monday again and that means music. The gals over at Xmas Dolly's place, Colette, Stacy, Cathy, and Becca, have hit the dance floor and I am joining once again too. This week Frosty is taking over the Spotlight and heading downtown with kids dancing in tow.

This week is a 'freebie' week but I am planning to stick with my holiday extravaganza so watch out for snowballs, here I come!

This is the second week of Advent and the theme is "Peace". Let's see what I can do with that.

First up: Norah Jones' voice is so smooth. She knows how to sing that jazzy blues well. This video is for listening so just close your eyes and breathe it in.

Next up: This duo seems like the most unlikely mash-up but getting together to sing the dual song was just perfect. I give you Bing Crosby and David Bowe.

Next: I have never heard this singer before but her song is lovely.

Finally: This group sings a twist on a traditional song. The song begins at around 2:09 but if you listen to what he says you will find out where the song came from. This is an awesome Casting Crows song.

~Tis the season...

Sunday Sayings: Second Sunday of Advent...Peace #Christmas #music #peace #Advent

This 2nd Sunday of Advent is a tough one this year. It shouldn't be, but it is. Our country is in such turmoil it seems. Peace does not even seem  to be something we are thinking about. However, shouldn't we be? I am looking for the peace makers, but as I have written before, I suppose that begins with me. Think about it. Do it. Live it.

Wordless(ish) Wednesday and Advent Revlog....12/3/14 #WordlessWednesday #Christmas

I thought on Wednesdays for the month of December and since I have your attention...uh hmm...I would not only share my Wordless Wednesday photos but I would share a past video I did during the month. Please make sure to link up:



I do hope you come back often and if you would like to subscribe to my YouTube, I would appreciate that very much. Here I am making an advent calendar of sorts.

This weeks photo I took last week when my Mother was here. We went to an annual German Christmas market in downtown Denver. There they were selling one of her favorite things, mulled wine (hot wine). Although I cannot drink alcohol (due to meds...sigh) I took a sip, boy was it good!

#MondayMusicMovesMe...Holiday Music All Month Long 12/1/14

It seem like it took forever this last few week for December to finally get her and yet, the months also just flew by. Here we are only one day past the first week of Advent and our minds are filled with everything seasonal...at least for me it is. The first week is all about hope.

Of course the musical crew over at Xmas Dolly's place is right on cue with launching the month long holiday musical extravaganza. You know those elves, Cathy, Callie, Becca, Stacy and head elf queen, Xmas Dolly, Let's go!

Since we are in the first week of advent, I thought I would share a song my Mom reminded me about.

It is all about preparation for the coming of a baby but not just any baby but...well, you know!

Even though this baby is grown in the video, the message is still the same...we have hope, so be prepared!

Moving on with my theme of hope...

Finally, let me go with this hope...
