Today’s the day I always go sit in Warner Theatre and watch The Washington Ballet’s The Nutcracker.
Of course in the time of covid, everything is a little different and I’m not going to the ballet this evening.
But we can listen to Brian Setzer Orchestra doing their version of The Nutcracker Suite and pretend we’re dancing with the Sugar Plum Fairies.
Please listen responsibly.
I absolutely adore Brian Setzer’s Christmas Extravaganza!
You might be asking why is this an extravaganza I love, it just is. It just is.
Dance around a little bit to Boogie Woogie Santa Claus!
Please listen responsibly.
A little Brian Setzer to start our morning.
Dig That Crazy Santa Claus
Please listen responsibly.
My very favorite version of this holiday tune is by Brian Setzer. (My apologies, Mr. Presley.)
I was trying to find it to share when I came upon this!
I did not know this existed!
I absolutely adore Robert Plant!
Percy sings Christmas! How have I never known this?
Happy (early) Christmas, y’all!
Now that Thanksgiving is in my rear view mirror, I can head towards my most favorite holiday of all! (I may have squealed a little when I typed that.)
I potted a tiny spruce tree in the giant pot on my front porch yesterday, going to light and top it today.
All three trees are up. Two are lighted. None are decorated.
Made new bows, one for the tree on the porch, one for the brand new tree downstairs.
Three of the (I won’t tell you exactly how) many nativities are up.
This is the brand newest one! I found it in this teeny shop, it was hand carved in Ecuador.
On today’s agenda: Light the big tree and the porch tree. Decorate all three trees. Set up the rest of the nativities. Finish other decorating. Find ornaments for these three boys and Thing 2’s D.
I give each kid an ornament every year for Christmas so that eventually when they have their own tree they’ll have ornaments to put on it.
I just downloaded new Christmas tunes including James Brown’s Funky Christmas! Thing C might be the only other one to appreciate that as much as I do.
It’s “small business Saturday” and we’re going to zip over Old Town to see what we might need…after a bit of breakfast.
Like Brian Setzer I’m Gettin in the Mood (for Christmas) (Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!)
(...and some I have)
Because there's never enough time to do it right the first time but there's always enough time to do it over
Curiosity to Infinity
When I was young, my dad would always say, "Crystal, you can choose your attitude." One day I chose to believe him.
