5 Days Until Christmas, Unless We All Die Tomorrow

In that case, here are a couple of songs before the end of Christmas as we know it.

The Monkees - Christmas Is My Time Of Year

Moody Blues - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

35,000 Blog Hits

My post "Holy Shit, It's Christmas" appears to be the dominant post for me this month.  I got over 60 hits today alone just on that picture, and over 200 hits since I posted it on November 18, over a month ago.  However, I do have the wrong name for the musical artist.  It should be Red Peters and the New Christy Hamsters.

6 days until Christmas ...

My Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving day was a solitary event for me this year.  I had a Marie Callendar's turkey pot pie, with a salad, and a Marie Callendar's peach pie with whipped cream for desert.  There was no family in attendance, nor was I invited to any family get together(s).  That, in and of itself, has not been unusual for me as I generally do not celebrate the holiday with extended family.  However, my immediate family, consisting of my daughter, my grandson and I, always had some type of dinner together.  Sometimes we would have other friends over, and sometimes we would just go out to dinner.  This year, I did not hear from either my daughter or my grandson.

Par for the course, I guess.

I put up some of my Christmas decorations.  While I did not decorate the house, per se, I did put up my rather elaborate and growing Christmas village collection, and brought out my Christmas dinner ware.  Aside from that, I added a few decorations here and there, put out the welcome mat and the door hanger, and the Christmas kitchen towels and pot holders.  I do not anticipate getting a tree this year.  It is not in the budget, especially since I don't have funds to buy anyone a gift.  Food is generally a priority (and of course, toilet paper).

Even though I am not sure if I will have my rent for this month, or will be in the apartment come Christmas, I put the decorations out, as a show of good faith.

Happy Thanksgiving

Amy Winehouse Christmas Memories

I was (am) a huge fan of Amy Winehouse.  Her demise hit me very hard, almost as if she were actually a family member.  To be sure, I was more sad about her death than I would be over some in my real family.

This is a precious recording of Amy, doing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."

Enjoy ...



34 days until Christmas.

35 Days Until Christmas!

Let It Snow - Aaron Neville

"Blue Christmas" Space Age Bachelor Pad Music Style

For many people, this music, called Space Age Bachelor Pad Music, is an unknown genre. It harkens back to old television theme songs for others, and sometimes is referred to as "lounge" music.  I have always been a fan of this genre, and have a rather large collection of artists that make this type of music.

Esquivel (Juan Garcia Esquivel) was a Mexican musician that devoted a lot of time to this style of music.  I remember dating this guy back in 1998, and he had a CD by Esquivel entitled, oddly enough, Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music.  Sadly, my boyfriend did not enjoy the CD and was glad to pawn it off on me.  I, on the other hand, was excited greatly to have this CD, which had been released around 1994. The cover alone was worth it.
