I know I already posted some Zooey this month, but this one has been making the rounds and I find it so sweet.
Here’s to a blessed and lovely 2012!

Here’s a winter playlist I built for YOU. No overt Christmas Carols, but wintery and still seasonal.  This is how I’m getting away with playing music that still fills my need for holiday-ish music without Tom going crazy on me.  You’re welcome.

Winter

I woke up with a massive headache yesterday. A post Christmas hazy headache. Tom and Abby went with his parents on a city adventure while I stayed behind and tried to get rid of said headache. No luck for me.

About halfway through the day, I thought I’d attempt getting out of the house and thus, went to a Fred Meyer in the suburbs on Boxing Day with a headache. Not my smartest move.

Going to places with those sorts of crowds on ANY day is a bad idea for me, but add in my headache and the crazy-eyed shopping frenzy that is epitomizes the holiday season in the U.S. . . . well. . . I got kinda ticked off about seemingly little stuff.

So, when I saw this video of a little girl ranting about gender specific marketing, I REALLY got it.

Good girl, Riley.

Hooray! It’s Christmas Morning.

I hope it’s all full of joy and love.

“There is joy
Waiting
In your heart”

Merry Christmas, y’all!

I do love me some Paul Simon. ♥

Two years ago, I linked to my all time favorite song from White Christmas.  At least, it was my favorite two years ago. I can’t ever settle on ONE song from that movie.  This one though, this one ALWAYS comes back to my heart. Sigh. Bing gets me every time!

Dinking around on the podcasts from the last few years that I mentioned yesterday, I found this. It’s lovely. Enjoy!!!

A little podcast to keep you warm on the shortest day of the year.  All Songs Considered is one of my most favorite NPR podcasts and their holiday special never disappoints.  Good stuff in this. I highly recommend you give ‘er a listen! You can stream it or just go scroll through the list of holiday songs and listen to each of them on your own.

My favorite pick of the year?  Adam Acuragi’s take on Christmas (Baby please come home). So good.
