Merry Christmas!

Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

Let Earth receive her king.

Merry Christmas to you all. Enjoy spending the day with your families and taking part in all of the Christmas traditions. What a very special birthday we are so fortunate to get to celebrate.

Have a wonderful day!

It's Christmas Eve

Cheers!

Country Christmas

LOVE

I think this song is beautiful, and then watching this video with it was rather touching.

It encompasses the theme of Christmas  - LOVE.

What are you doing NYE?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh but I thought Id ask you just the same,
What are you doin' New Years, New Years Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When its exactly 12 oclock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Years Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You receive

Ah but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doin' New Years, New Years Eve?

{We have a great group of friends coming in town to go to this event downtown. No date, but I am so excited to be spending time with some of my favorite people in the world! What are you doing NYE?}

Oh boy

To finish up Throw Back Week, I had to make sure I got every boy band in here. Oh, the one or two hit wonder, Hanson.

Do you ever wonder what these people are up to now?

I feel like I'm in 7th grade again

Yep, this was my favorite boy band. Maybe because I lived in Cincinnati and thought I was closer to them since they were from here too. (Oh the silly things you think...) I must admit that now, I have a hard time taking them seriously when I watch this (... Nick's seductive looks ...) but I still like the song! Oh boy bands...

TR(L)

This was a request...enjoy!

 

PS I just wanted to thank all of my friends for their support last night/today. Even though everyone's feelings are different, it means a lot that you still care and are sending your love. It means so much.

The Days of Christmas - DC Style

Ha old school :)

Christmas Time

This reminds me of those wedding picture videos. You really feel like a member of the Backstreet Boys family after watching this.

I am a bit concerned about the one with all the eyeliner. He wears more than I do!

A Classic

While looking for the video, I came across this one and had to share. Enjoy! They have some great moves...especially the guy in the orange :)

All I Want for Christmas

Welcome to Throw-Back Week here at SC's 25 Days of Christmas! Yep, that means a week of all the best songs we loved growing up!

To start, I would like to give a shout out to Greek Sing 2007. We won this year, and I like to think that my 30 seconds of fame during this song had a lot to do with it (please note the sarcasm).

Turn it up and sing along! OOOOO-ooooo Baby!

Naughty or Nice?

Jolly old Saint Nicholas,

Lean your ear this way

Don't you tell a single soul

What I'm going to say

Christmas Eve is coming soon

Now you dear old man

Whipsper what you'll bring to me

Tell me if you can.

You Pick

Which version do you prefer?



Or



A friend and I used to always debate which version of this song is better....you probably know my choice, but what is yours?

You're a Mean One

Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato
Splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
You're a three decker sauerkraut and
Toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super "naus"
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked horse, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment
Of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

The Grinch is one of my favorite Christmas movies! My mom always loved the original, but I really enjoy the Jim Carey version. I still laugh out loud at times, and I know it by every word. Maybe sometime, if you are lucky, you will get to hear my Grinch impression. {Special, I know}

Tomorrow is Friday!!!!

Another favorite

To continue my week of favorite songs/artists, I wanted to include my absolute favorite singer.


I just love singing Christmas carols. And I sure do blast this one...(I think I actually sound decent when accompanying Carrie...but she can make anything sound good)

O Holy Night

This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. And this is my favorite version.


Just a little piece of heaven to brighten your day!

Simply Beautiful

I love this version of the song. The original is my grandma's favorite song, so it is special to me. And I love the new take on it. Sorry the video quality isn't the best, but enjoy the song! Happy Monday :)

The real meaning of the song...

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Santa Baby

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me,

{Forget the sable, Santa. I'll just take some boots.}

I've been an awful good girl,

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue

I'll wait up for you dear

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

{Already got the car, Santa...maybe you can help with some payments???}

Think of all the fun I've missed,

Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed {Seriously, Santa...hasn't been much going on here}

Next year I could be oh so good

If you'd check off my Christmas list

Boo doo bee doo

Santa baby, I wanna yacht and really that's

Not a lot

Been and angel all year

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, one thing I really do need, the deed

To a platinum mine

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, fill my stocking with a duplex and checks

Sign your 'X' on the line

Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

{Again, Santa, I already have this one, but I coud use the checks to help with the morgage payments...please!}

Come and trim my Christmas tee

With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

I really do believe in you

Let's see if you believe in me

Boo doo bee doo

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring

I don't mean on a phone

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight



Hurry ... tonight!

Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay
(but baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(but baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been
(been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice
(i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start worry
(beautiful whats your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor
(listen to the fireplace roar)
So really i'd better scurry
(beautiful please don't hurry)
but maybe just a half a drink more
(put some records on while i pour)
the neighbors might faint
(baby it's bad out there)
say what's in this drink
(no cabs to be had out there)
i wish i knew how
(your eyes are like starlight now)
to break this spell
(i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
i ought to say "no, no, no sir"
(mind if i move in closer)
at least i'm gonna say that i tried
(what's the sense in hurtin' my pride)
i really can't stay
(oh baby don't hold out)

baby it's cold out side

i simply must go
(but baby it's cold outside)
the answer is no
(but baby it's cold outside)
your welcome has been
(how lucky that you droped in)
so nice and warm
(look out the window at that storm)
my sister will be suspicious
(gosh your lips look delcious)
my brother will be there at the door
(waves upon the tropical shore)
my maiden aunts mind is vicious
(gosh your lips are delicous)
but maybe just a cigarette more
(never such a blizzard before)
i've gotta get home
(but baby you'd freeze out there)
say lend me a coat
(it's up to your knees out there)
you've really been grand
(i thrill when you touch my hand)
but don't you see?
(how can you do this thing to me?)
there's bound to be talk tomorrow
(think of my lifelong sorrow)
at least there will be plenty implied
(if you got namonia and died)
i really can't stay
(get over that old out)

baby it's cold outside

brrrr! it is definitely cold here now. and we have our first real snow on the ground (which tillie is not so keen on). i am not ready for the next 3ish months of this stuff...

Dear Santa

Santa, can you hear me?

I have been so good this year.

And all I want is one thing,

Tell me my true love* is near.

He's all I want, just for me,

Underneath my Christmas tree,

I'll be waitin' here,

Santa, that's my only wish this year.

*True love may be a stretch, will settle for a date.

Fruitcake

This may be the wierdest Christmas song I've ever heard! But I had to put it in here, just because it is so odd.

Have you ever had fruitcake? I haven't, and this video sure does not make me want to try it now! I guess now you have the recipe if you are brave enough! And if you do, leave a comment on how it works out for ya...

Straight No Chaser

 

I think these songs are amazing and really funny. I heard them on the radio and enjoyed the cleverness, but watching the videos simply made me laugh out loud.

I hope you had a wonderful first day of Christmas (get it yet? 24 more to come)! It snowed here today. Although I think I am the only one in the world who doesn't enjoy the snow, I guess that means it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas :)
