Somebody LOVES “Joe Cool” Santa Snoopy. She decided she needed to get into this box; she doesn’t know that she has been here before!
And, for our last musical Monday selection, another déjà vu moment… Layla and Granpa Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree.

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s,
I really do believe in you,
Let’s see if you believe in me
Did you ever go Christmas caroling? It was one of my most favorite Christmas activities as a child. The Cernera’s, the Golden’s, the Grace’s, the Nichol’s (the Nordness’es? The Surat’s? The Padula’s?)….would gather on Ellicott Place, and we wandered Ellicott and Prospect and sometimes Clinton Avenue. Joseph and I were the youngest of the kids on the block, and it was to me the most magical of times. We even would use the front door to the Grace’s house (a TREAT!), where we were greeted with hot cocoa, and warm cookies and drinks would be found at Mrs. Beveridge’s home too… (She was my kindergarten teacher. I remember sometimes walking to school with her.)
Last year, I asked everyone to send me their favorite Christmas carols—I received a wide variety of songs!
These are the categories, if you want to play this year! (The song listed is MY favorite of each category)
And these are some of the songs people suggested last year.
(And just as an aside….Step into Christmas, by Elton John…do you think someday, we will be having to explain to the kids what a turntable was, like the spinet and the figgy pudding of more traditional carols??)
