Good Morning! Christmas spirit is in the air! We are only 2 days from the Big Day! I couldn’t think of a better way to relax and get into the spirit than listening to good Christmas music in front of a roaring fire 🔥
Enjoy the fire 🔥 and enjoy the music 🎶 Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻

Music is a HUGE part of Christmas for me and my family! During the holidays there is almost always music playing around the house and around the office too😊
So my son and I started making our “Top 5 Favorite Christmas Music List” – NOT of all time – a current list of songs based off our own playlists… HaHa 😆- Here’s mine… Jacob, it’s your turn 🎅🏻
Merry Christmas Y’all!
Jimmy B. is ALWAYS on my Christmas mix!
This is a favorite for sure! It could play in the background all day on Christmas 🎄 😊
No Christmas would be complete with the Red Headed Stranger! 🎅🏻
Everyone that loves Christmas music plays this one on the holidays, and EVERYONE has done this classic! This is my favorite artists version from way back!
Last one – #5. This is a newer one from one of my favorite artists. Great story song & a great reminder that some are in need of a kind word and a friend around the holidays 😊
Merry Christmas Y’all! 🎄 🎅🏻❤️

Yesterday would have been my friend Bill Ways 75th. birthday. We were both Sagittarians (Birthdays between – Nov. 22nd – Dec. 21st.) and I learned over time that we had much in common – Love of animals, the TN. River, old cars, and music were just a few! Bill was a ‘Music Aficionado” & could blow your mind with his vast knowledge of the music world! He not only knew obscure songs and artists, he knew about the history of the song in question, even down to who played the instruments on the studio tracks! He WOWED many a listener, ME included! This time of year he was heavily into playing Christmas songs, many that you never heard of… So, I want to play a Christmas song in Bills memory. This was one of his favorites and is now one of mine.
PS: Grab a tissue first, you might need it!
Merry Christmas Y’all! 🎅🏻
