Edelweiss is in memory of my mother who retained her German accent her entire life.
If I close my eyes I can picture her singing this at Christmas time

Love your pictures! I think my mind keeps getting distracted is part of my problem and just don't feel like shopping for gifts which is scary. Christmas is coming so fast.

I need to work on Christmas cards soon.

That's a great way to get in the Christmas mood. I didn't go for the holiday at all - so you did a lot better than I!

These are great, Adelle. I know it's tough to get in the mood some years.
These will help.

I've decided to stop thinking ahead to what I have still to do! All of a sudden another day goes by - and all I've succeeded in doing is stressing myself out. Going to be laid-back... ahem! Thank you for spreading a little Christmas cheer, m'dear! :) xx

I just watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town last week, and nothing says Christmas like anything by Bing Crosby -- one of my favorite Christmas CDs!

I have a family friendly Christmas topic this week.

I haven't quite gotten into the Christmas spirit, but I'll start working on that today. Perhaps some Christmas music will help me focus. Thanks for kicking things off! :)

Happy T13,

Thanks! I enjoyed these. I've always liked Bing Crosby singing White Christmas--even if we never have them in NZ

I spent too much time in retail jobs for Christmas Carols to mean anything sentimental for me, I think. I start to stress when I hear them - especially when I hear the same song by several different artists. AUGH!

Yeah, I drag out the South Park Christmas album and crank it - just like I used to do when I was working in the US. It helped me to decompress during the drive home, back then. LOL!

But the inclusion of Edelweiss at the end was lovely. That's what the holidays are all about - the memories of our loved ones.

Happy Belated TT! :)
