Our theme for the entire month is Christmas music and today I thought it would be fun if we share songs that hold specific holiday memories. You’re welcome to build on this idea or run with your own. It makes no difference to me as long as there’s music for us to enjoy.
My Christmas memories of I’ll Be Home For Christmas reminds me of every holiday I was unable to spend with my parents and siblings. I don’t know what lead to the conversation but one Christmas while sitting down for breakfast, my late Father-in-law shared that his favorite Christmas song was Silver Bells sung by Bob Hope. That gave me the idea to buy it for him. It proved to be a challenge because the only media device he had was an old cassette player but I found it. Christmas Vacation reminds me of the many hours spent with our kids when they were young watching holiday movies including National Lampoon’s Christmas classic. Hark! The Herald Angels Sings my 4th grade Christmas play in which I was a angel. O Holy Night the time my Girl Scout troop sang Christmas carols to a terminally ill boy who lived at the end of hollow that we walked to on a cold, starry night. When I was 3 or 4, I remember watching Frosting the Snowman on my grandparents 13 inch black and white TV downstairs where there was no heat. It felt like an ice box but I didn’t want to miss the program. My friends and I often sang Twelve Days of Christmas on the long school bus ride from the junior high to the high school I went to.
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 embed individual songs or to create a playlist 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.
Thank you for coming to the party. This is CAAC signing off, remember to make time to enjoy all the wonders of the holiday season and have a boogietasticweek, my friends! X💋X💋, Cathy
