Jkm | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 10:49 am     Did I mention they have a count down to Christmas also..... Days, hours, minutes and seconds...... |
Wargod | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 10:56 am     Which is what now, JKM? I have to start searching out all my Christmas cd's. The kids have a Disney one that we listen to...continuously, LOL! I'm also going to have to find the Christmas story book I have someewhere around here. |
Jkm | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 11:11 am     32 days 09 hours 53 min and 33 seconds (indiana time) |
Wargod | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 11:14 am     Thanks! LOL. I'm having trouble getting it to sink in that next week is Thanksgiving!! It's still in the 70's here (though we did have one week of really crappy weather couple weeks back!) |
Jkm | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 11:45 am     We actually had snow stick last night -- it looks pretty!! (too bad we all forgot how to drive when it's slick out!!) In Indiana one day it snows - the next could be in the 50's -- it's truely a state where you wait a minute and the weather changes..... |
Heyltslori | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 11:57 am     Jkm... Christmas Carol is sung by Skip Ewing. It's on his Christmas album called Following Yonder Star. That song always makes me cry too! |
Calamity | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Where I am it's a winter wonderland. Been snowing all day. Whoami: Thought this might interest you...This site says it plans to reissue in 2002 the home video and original soundtrack for the Tennessee Ernie Ford special 'The Story of Christmas' (which includes the song "Little Grey Donkey"). Sorry I can't do links but here's the url - www.ernieford.com/StoryofChristmas.htm Wargod: Like Sia said, there is a song called "The Little Drummer Boy". My favorite version is David Bowie & Bing Crosby's medley with "Peace on Earth". It's too bad a lot of CDs leave out the introductory bit though. It's so charming. Sia: Love your ideas for homemade holiday gifts. And I've also been too leery to download song files. Besides I don't want Metallica to sue me! Bigd: I really don't know much about Barry Manilow but one of my favorite singers just idolizes him. I should take a listen at one of the music sites - maybe I'll like him?! |
Jkm | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 12:34 pm     Calamity!!! Back in the dark ages when I was a young niave middle schooler -- we'd walk around humming his tunes -- who could forget "At the Copa" and "I write the songs" (but then again, I liked back then Shawn Cassidy and Leif Garrett, too) |
Whoami | Friday, November 22, 2002 - 02:00 pm     Oh Calamity! Thank you!! I think the name of the album we have of Tennessee Ernie is "Sing We Now Of Christmas." We also have "The Star Carol" (another album by TEF). I love his deep rich voice on some of those songs! As soon as I feed the dogs, I'm off to that link. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You've just made my day! |
Jkm | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 05:09 am     I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause underneath the mistletoe last night...... |
Curiouscat | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 05:11 am     In 1993 I purchased a tape by "The Jingle Cats" called "Meowy Christmas" and the next year they came out with "Here Comes Santa Claws". They're all Christmas tunes "sung" by real cats. Some fellow recorded his band of kitties meowing and purring, and spliced it all together to sound like the cats are singing the words. Pretty cute for the hardcore cat lover who collects everything and anything cat-related. |
Jkm | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 05:55 am     I love that! At a store called "Dry Ice" at the mall this weekend they had fake cats!! They were curled up like they were sleeping made out of rabbit furs -- they looked real at a glance - on the bottom it said to put them on your bed, chair or favorite shelf.... It was too funny! |
Wargod | Monday, November 25, 2002 - 09:23 am     Saturday, 8pm pacific time, A Christmas Story will be airing on TNT. I absolutely love this movie and thought I'd share, LOL. |
Jkm | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 05:03 am     Today's favorite songs...... Anything sung by Andy Williams..... It's the most wonderful time of the year! |
Jkm | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 06:10 am     Oh -- they just played Bing Crosby singing White Christmas! |
Jkm | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 12:17 pm     Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow It's snowing outside!!! 1-3 inches started about 1:30 here :>) |
Sbw | Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 01:05 pm     Sherbabe, I didn't know anyone had ever heard "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" other than those who listened to an OKC radio station and my mother who heard it years ago. That song is a "fun" song. I also didn't know that Barry Manilow had a Christmas album, guess I will have to check on that. My favorites for relaxing Christmas music has to be the Kenny G CDs. |
Jkm | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 05:22 am     Oh the weather outside is frightful -- but the fire is so deliteful...... (I wish we no place to go, but we do, but we do, but we do) |
Marysafan | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 06:43 am     Okay...I am getting in the mood ....it is officially the season now. Snow on the ground...and Jose' Feliciano singing "Feliz Navidad." Nothing gets me in the mood more than that song. Although the Bare Naked Ladies singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen...makes me feel merry. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 07:33 am     Although the Bare Naked Ladies singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen...makes me feel merry. I always wondered why the gentlemen were merry..having bare naked ladies sing to them explains it!! |
Jkm | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 10:30 am     Now we have playing on that internet radio station -- I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus last night by John Mellenkamp |
Cjr | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 11:30 am     Aww, these are bringing back such great memories. My favorite Christmas tape is "The Little Christmas Tree" by Red Skelton. We listened to it as kids every year. I recently found the tapes for sale on-line and bought copies for my Mom and my Sister since our copies were horrible. (I couldn't find them on CD). Red Skelton is the voice of a little Christmas tree talking to Santa. He is trying to find out his purpose for being cut down at Christmas. It is a wonderful story. Now I am gonna go listen to it...... |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 11:57 am     "All I want for Kwithmath ith my two fwont teef, My two fwont teef, my two fwont teef, All I want for Kwithmath ith my two fwont teef, And then I could with you Mewwy Kwithmath!" Song heard on radio in England during Christmas seasons, probably from 1950's onward, dunno who sang it or what label, often on "Family Favourites" request programme....those were the days, sigh :-} |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 12:01 pm     We have a Gene Autry Christmas LP, and the first song is Rudolph, played it for granddaughter the other day, and made me tear up, I'm a sad case at this time of year. |
Jkm | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 06:09 am     Now the station is playing "band aid" Do they know it's Christmas time" |
