Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! I can’t believe it’s December already. The year went by faster than I imagined and here it is the Christmas season again. Like last year, I added a Christmas inspired themes every other week for anyone needing ideas but you’re good if you want to boogie to your drum with whatever Christmas music moves you!
While looking for theme ideas I stumbled on an article that mentioned post Christmas blues. It use to sadden me to think of the holidays winding down because that meant the pretty decorations would soon be packed away. That’s normal. We all feel that. I don’t like sad songs playing during the holidays. That’s a bummer and while I still am not a fan of bluesy Christmas tunes I thought with the music topic in mind that this would be a good time.
Do you like bluesy Christmas type songs? If you run with today’s theme, it’ll be fun to listen to your song choices but remember music themes are only suggestions. The important thing is to share whatever music moves you. Now, it’s your turn!

Keb Mo is just such an amazing artist. Hope that you and your family have a wonderful and safe New Year’s. Thanks for hosting this amazing party.
It’s been such a pleasure having you at the 4M party each week last year and I shall look forward to your return throughout 2025, Patrick. Have a blessed new year!
Hi everyone, I know it has been ages since I played along to the music. Maybe it is time again. So much change this last few years. Anyway, my birthday is Jan 12th so, add me to your list.
I like bluesy music sometimes throughout the year, not sure I like it during the Christmas holidays but I do sometimes get post “blues.”

PS>I have posted to you my reading blog. I have not been on my blog for music in 2 years. I will revamp it and post some music there soon!

Michelle,
Thanks for visiting! We’d love to have you join the party whenever you’re ready. We tend to go different directions sometimes but we always want to return to music. Have a blessed new year, my dear! xo
Yeah found the comments on this one. LOL I want to wish you and yours the very best for 2025. All goodness to you.
I try to stay on top of things like WP throwing my readers into Pending or Spam folder for me to approve or rescue. I don’t think this one went to either, though.
Thanks for the warm wishes. All the best to you, as well, Nicole! xo
I love any type of bluesy music. Happy New Year!
I enjoy bluesy music anytime of the year, except Christmas. Thanks for dropping by, Eugi!
My pleasure, Cathy.
I don’t listen to that much blues or Christmas music so no to that question. During my college years I would write an annual After Christmas Blues epic type poem about my previous year. I was more in a blue state back then. Now not really. We didn’t decorate or do presents or anything. Christmas was almost just another day for me other than the true purpose of Christmas which was on my mind.
Now for New Year.

I had more blue moments when I was younger than I do now. Perhaps changing hormones played a big part in the way you and I felt in those days. At least you didn’t forget the true reason for the season and I know that had to help. Christ is Christmas is the hope the world needed then and still does today.
Keb Mo is awesome. I’ll have to remember this set for my next marathon. Happy New Year.
I’m delighted you enjoyed the set. Thanks for joining the party, my friend!
I like the blues tunes too. Hey, thanks for the birthday shout out!
Anytime, happy to share some birthday cheer with you, my friend. Thanks for visiting!
As you might imagine, I LOVE Christmas blues, or bluesy Christmas songs. Great set, though #3 and #5 weren’t there…
Are you saying #3 and #5 on the playlist didn’t play for you or isn’t showing up? The reason I ask is I see them and they play for me. And, yes I knew you’d enjoy this kind of music.
When I switched my VPN to an address in Canada, it worked fine…
Ahh, yep changing your VPN connection is a good fixer. I have to do that sometimes, too.
Have to admit I’m not a real blues fans but your theme will resonate with many who are sad the beauty of Christmas is nearly behind us. (The Biltmore knows how to decorate, too!) Perhaps it’s just the time of year, with so many cloudy days where I live, and no more lights to brighten it up. Alana ramblinwitham
Yes the Biltmore really does know how to decorate for the holidays. It’s the best time to tour the house in my opinion.
