stellar idea dog .. .. .. i can't think about Santa until the last turkey chimichanga is gone, will be collecting holiday tunes until then, hasta luego
That was nice, homedoggy, but I have to honor Thanksgiving before I can even think about Christmas. It irritates me no end that the stores start talking up Christmas before Thanksgiving has even come and gone. But....you be you and I'll be me.
@homedoggy, I appreciated your video, enjoyed it very much. Of course it does seem like it was just a couple weeks ago we just had Christmas. I go in stores and see Holloween stuff on sale and think WHAT. Even though that's my birthday, it's just plain strange it's already come and gone.
Hello binky3.I thought I'd pop that one in.Yes,I do like Xmas.Has to be better than last year.Our daughter is already asking me when I'm going to put up the decorations.She is putting her's up at the end of November.I'm trying to hang on to a week before Xmas......I'll never succeed,Chris will see to that! Look after yourself
My two favorite holidays seem to always get the short end of the stick. Easter, a most precious holiday to Christians all over the world, gets whittled down to bunnies, jelly beans and new clothes (but I do like any excuse for chocolate candy). Thanksgiving is a traditionally American holiday that grocery stores get excited about, and most everyone else tries to run over so as to make tracks towards Christmas. Please folks, let me celebrate being thankful for my Christianity in the Spring, and being thankful for everything else in the fall. Thank you
Thank you for your comments gmaterre. I agree wholeheartedly. Although we play Christmas songs all year. Good music is good music no matter the season.
@gmaterre , yes Black Friday's can be rough as have witnessed at our local Walmart , even ordering online is just as bad as example ordered Digital Camera , 3rd Party Company sent camera with instructions in Chinese, Luckily Know someone that knows someone at Walmart so got refund and camera free , thou still can't read instructions. lol
Several Novembers ago, I remember being terribly disappointed when I went looking for a few decorations for the Thanksgiving table and couldn't find a thing! The stores had gone directly from skeletons to Santa Claus, and this actually began before Halloween. I think that gmaterre is just saying "Slow down and enjoy the present".
riverrat55, I remember being very confused when I first heard that song when I was a little girl. Mommie kissing Santa Claus?? LOL. Do love the song now, though....good memories!
My exhusband was notorious for singing (with all our 6 children) Christmas songs all summer long. And with all the car windows down! It was great. But it didn't take away from Independence Day. I just believe in taking time for each holiday. I'll share my favorite Christmas song after Thanksgiving.
@homedoggy, thanks for sharing your video of F&F. I think I told you before how much I really enjoy that group. @riverrat..liked the the one you posted as well...really like Heart. Also, enjoyed the pet videos.
