Good-morning, kittens & dawgs! For the month of December it’s gonna be nothing but mewsic…Christmas mewsic that is and so each week I’m gonna feature a new-to-me artist or Christmas album. Here’s my girl, the amazingly talented and beautiful Lindsey Stirling with Warmer In The Winter!
I’m linking up taking a coffee break with Stacy, Les, and Amber this morning and you’re invited to come with and let me remind you to visit again tomorrow for not-so Wordless Wednesday. X

Glad you are still doing Christmas music. It made me sad not to have it on the radio this morning.
Ellen,
I’ll continue with Christmas mewsic through this week. I know this morning I woke thinking, “Christmas is over?” and felt a bit bummed. I love the season! I won’t take our tree down for a few days or weeks yet. I like waiting until at the New Year’s anyhow to do that job and sometimes I go longer. lol
I know this gal quite well because she played more than once on Dancing With The Stars and she just competed on it this past season and came in second! I love this video and her playing because she is talented and unique. Merry Christmas! I have been so busy that my blogging took a nose dive. I hope you had a nice Christmas Eve and Day.
Birgit,
I was introduced to Lindsey several years ago and instantly fell in love with her mewsic style and abilities. She’s fantastic! Yep, she was on DWTS and I thought for sure she’d take the Mirror Ball Trophy but didn’t. Don’t worry about life in Blogosphere. I think everyone has been too busy to do much here but soon everyone will find their way back to their normal routines. And, yes I had a nice Christmas eve and day! I hope you did, too.
That was quite a lovely interpretation of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Hope you and yours had a great Christmas Day!
Mimi,
Yes, I had a lovely Christmas! DH was off Friday through Tuesday and it was great having him home. We just spent it relaxing. The only time we got out was Friday. We drove to a few small western North Carolina mountain communities to see the decorations. Forrest City, NC was gorgeous! I snapped a few photos but my exposure was off, so I’m not sure if I actually got anything worth sharing or not. I need to sort through them.
I’ve enjoyed your music too. Thank you.
I hope you and yours had a very blessed Christmas. We sure did.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Sandee,
Thanks for dropping by, my friend. Yes, I had a blessed Christmas and am happy to hear that you did, too. It’s time to play catch up after being away from Blogosphere for several days.
Hi, Cathy!
I hope you and your family had a splendid Christmas, dear friend. As I sipped my morning coffee, I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting choreographed performance by violinist Lindsey Stirling who put a delightful edge on a children’s Christmas favorite “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” a tune I well remember from childhood. In fact, I do believe it is the earliest of my mewsical memories. There was a children’s TV show that I watched every weekday. It used “Sugar Plum Fairy” as its opening theme and I was mesmerized. Lindsey Stirling is new to me, also, and she is a wonderful discovery. This piece is an excellent example how to update an old tune without destroying it. In fact, it is so cleverly and expertly done, it ranks as a new classic.
Thank you very much for the holiday cheer, dear friend Cathy. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Tom,
Thank you for asking about my Christmas. I did have a nice time, as did my whole family. It was great spending the last 5-days with DH. His scheduled Friday off fell purrfectly in line with his employer’s Christmas holiday days off making for an extra long weekend of which we loved! No doubt, you did your own research on Lindsey and discovered she achieved her fame primarily through YouTube but what I learned during her DWTS competition this season is that she was on AGT in 2010. Her innovative, hip-hop style is what appeals to me the most and I fell instantly for her festive flare and often mewsic. I’m glad that you enjoyed this mewsical sample of Lindsey Stirling, my friend. Have a good week and I’ll hop over to see you shortly!
