Oh, I missed this one.. which I'm sorry to say is a habit of mine lately!! Missing videos, that is..
I hope I wasn't 'crying wolf' earlier, but I'm just trying to gather the cavalry, so to speak. The troll exterminators..
The holiday season is coming to an end now, and to be honest I'm glad! It just gets a bit much sometimes.. and today is the first time I've ever seen in a new year on my own...
And Happy Holidays to you, Brian, and puppy as well Lesley! I've been keeping it simple for years:) It's always good to go into a store after Christmas and not see huge sections of it devoted to Christmas decorations.
I know what you mean. I hate when the re-merchandise the stores and take out the things you go there for in order to put in the mechanical santa and flashing snowmen aisle! Ok, rant over.
Hope you have a great Christmas - and I look forward to spending another year hanging out together in cyberville! xox
This wonderful tune has re-set my holiday googaw saturation point. Much appreciated!
And hey, my little sister and I are planning a trip to Finland in July. I was thinking of heading to London for a couple of days around Wimbledon. Of course, I planned this last year and the year before, too, but, this time I have other people to help me my lazy butt out the door. So, I might be in your hood a few months from now.
Good job blondie :) Never had teeth sing at me before! Frankly...I think the world should dispose of this Holiday nonsense and just celebrate my birthday :) Being a politically incorrect person and people only say happy holidays...I want to be the first one to wish you a Merry Christmas xxoo
"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future." - don't tell the merchants though - they're likely to take advantage of a 12 month Christmas cycle! xox
haha! NO! This was just my form of protest against the merchants that shove holiday cheer at us from mid October! We're pretty poor this year so we haven't had any shopping stress and hassles! There is an upside to poverty LOL
I'll switch on my skype and talk whenever you're ready baby! xxox
you mean?it's christmas time again?i was wondering why i'm baking all these cookies? and when i wander away,everyone look's mean out there?? in that case..since i hear solstice bells ringing...merry yul brynner and happy enchilada's... more ukulele please..cheers
Definitely a new holiday classic, Lesley ... I love all the iconic frou-frou of the holidays but I don't want it to start the day after Halloween and I've been scrooging about the cluster forkout since 1972 -- haha! Maybe the downward economy will get us back to a more intimate celebration -- Ah! Bumhugs -- Everyone!!
Due to the economy, I'm broke as I have not been since the early 70s! But our group makes it about each other; #1: gift exchange, you cannot spend more than $50, #2, anything else must be under $10 and / or hand made. It's creative and fun and we focus on one another. Kudos to my daughter for creating a healthy, happy holiday. I wish you the same.
under control it's worthwhile and meaningful - so different from the frenzied buy buy buy just because you're supposed to! I'm burnt out by December first! - and I don't really 'do' Christmas anymore - it's just the force- feeding of it everywhere - only for commerce. *sigh*
I'm holding out for just being together with friends and loved ones - no stuff!
We can always take the point of view that less is better for the planet! The new green is to leave all that rubbish in the store and focus on the time we have together! Well, okay, maybe not the kids.... Yeah, 'force fed' is the truth - I've had the news on earlier this morning and it was one commercial after the other. Is there one single program not sponsored by WalMart? Great song - I loved it.
An instant christmas classic. We must keep it safe from Any Williams... I would like to enter a ball room dancing competition with you. I don't know why.
you're a trooper if you make it to the end of November! I'm thinking I'll celebrate Christmas on the 15 of November while I'm still in the mood and the xmas tress still have needles!
I know Santa isn't coming to visit us this year cos he doesn't do poor people but I think we should still leave out a mince pie, an extra large brandy and a carrot for the reindeer just in case.
Well maybe we will skip the carrot this year... xx
I think Santa's visited early - the mince pies have been disappearing! You reminded me that I rather like brandy, and don't care so much about carrits! xx
we are going to a Victorian costume party on Christmas - wanted to find a nice scroogey floppy rubber prop goose but had second thoughts as the hostess is vegan! LOL
That was fun. I got a little thrill there around 2:02 where you say "Happy Holiday." You must be messing around with the sound there, girl! By the time I got tpo the ornaments at the end, it felt like I was a couple of egg nogs* in. As usual, a beautiful video! (*In U.S. we spike egg nog with whiskey or rum. Can't believe I am footnoting my joke.)
I'm sorry I haven't been around Lesley, but this is my sentiment about the holidays too.
