You had me at the Bing-Bowie drummer boy, one of my holiday faves. I really enjoyed your clever and festive take on December. It is so well written, it feels longer than 44 words; good job.

Thank you for the lists, especially the playlist. I’m afraid I’m not quite ready for Christmas yet, Jade, but I will come back to them when I’m feeling more festive.

Apologies…so late to the reading. And I didn’t even get a post up for Tuesday or Thursday. So much happening here….BUT — glad I got to read this. It reminds me of that song from Sound of Music, These are a few of my favorite things! And oh yes….a slice of the holiday season…a cross cut if you will that reminds us in a quick flash of all the fun and wonderful images this season evokes. Love it!
