A Soulful Christmas
Our theme for the entire month is Christmas music. In the spirit of keeping things simple this month, I’m pulling from my reserved music stash a new artist discovery I made back in the summer of an adult pop and contemporary jazz singer, Jennifer Saran.
Jennifer has another holiday playlist on YT that’s more traditional sounding which is nice but I really love her soulful side.
4M co-hostess are featured in my right side bar underneath the banner. The guidelines are simple. Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. YouTube and other music sites have options to create and embed playlists or individual songs into your post. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you (your choice)! To access the party, add your music post below, and visit others on the dance floor. Let the party begin!
Thank you for coming to the party. This is CAAC signing off, enjoy the blessings of the Christmas season and have a boogietasticweek, my friends! X💋X💋, Cathy
Monday’s Sparks….
“Let us have music for Christmas…
Sound the trumpet of joy and rebirth;
Let each of us try, with a song in our hearts,
To bring peace to men on earth.”❧Mildred L. Jarrell

Thanks for dancing with me, Alana! Yeah, I know I can’t believe Christmas is almost here! This month really did zip by faster than a wink.

Jennifer Saran has a lovely voice. Thanks for the introduction. And she rocks the silver hair! 😎
Cathy Kennedy
Debbie,
I love that mature women are more embracing of their hair change. After failed attempts (it didn’t take many) to mask the silver, I began to see the beauty and refer to it as glitter. I mean, who doesn’t like glitter? 🙂

I love those awesome bears and the Christmas songs are soothing to listen to. Nice selection, Cathy. Hugs!
Cathy Kennedy

Love love the Monday Sparks “Let us have music for Christmas…” I play Christmas music every day, just love it so much. It’s touching in so many ways! Thank you!
Cathy Kennedy
There’s nothing wrong with playing Christmas music every day. I do every day beginning right after Thanksgiving. After the new year, I do put it away just so to keep it special for the holidays. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!

Birgit Bedesky
She’s got a very good voice and she is easy to understand. She doesn’t scream it out or contort her mouth all over the place
Cathy Kennedy
Birgit,
I prefer singers like like Jennifer who’s easy on the ears, too. I really hate when artists who obviously have talent but can’t contain their volume. I want to say, “Hey, don’t you know what that mic is for? Pipe it down!” Hee-Hee I also really dislike when singers do not enunciate their words properly. That’s just so lazy and you don’t know what their saying sometimes. Thanks for dropping by, my dear!
