A Cup of Holiday Cheer

Happy December First! It’s officially time to start counting down Christmas!!!! (For anyone new to my blog, I’m sorry in advance. I’m a bit of a Christmas nut for the next few weeks.) Time to put up the tree, hang the lights, drink lots of hot chocolate, blare Christmas music, shop for presents, and soak in the most wonderful time of the year! (Yes, I might have already been doing all those things for the past month, but now no one can judge me for it.) (Although if you’ve already been doing those things, too, we might be best friends.) So, in honor of the season, I’ve decided to spread a little holiday cheer!

How am I going to do this? Quite simply, with a cup of holiday cheer! Gingerbread lattes, caramel macchiattos, hot chocolate, white peppermint mochas… Ah yes, anyone want a $20 Starbucks gift card?

If you want it, all you have to do is a leave a comment telling me your favorite Christmas album! Easy as that. You have until Sunday night. Then I’ll randomly pick from the commenters and announce the winner on Monday.

So tell me, what are you listening to during the holidays? I’m looking for some new tunes to add to my Christmas collection : )

Happy Holidays!

I love Christmas time :) We just put up our tree and Weston had a blast hanging the ornaments and Whitley loves watching the lights.

My fav Christmas album has got to be ‘The Lost Christmas Eve’ by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra…even better is the dance that Weston does to go along with the music!

Chev, I’m totally with you–been listening to Christmas music for the past month and loving every minute of it. My husband told me the other day that he thinks we’ve got a serious problem on our hands. Amy Grant is a classic, but I’m going to pridefully admit I love Justin Bieber’s new Christmas CD.

Bing Crosby’s album/CD White Christmas (with the Andrew sisters, Vic Schoen and his orchestra, John Scott Trotters and his orchestra, and Carol Richards)has always been, by far, the best. I have fond memories,growing up, of listening to it on the stereo-record player- phonograph…33’s called record albums. We still listen to the same…only now its a CD with, obviously, much better sound. Enjoying passing the memories on.

You know how I feel about Christmas music. But I like this song.
