All things Christmas are fair game in this house after Remembrance Day. Christmas decorations will soon be going up, movies will be watched, and music is going to be playing. Music brings up a lot of holiday memories for me, and just makes me feel so much more festive. Add in the fact that I love how Everly will bop along to music she loves and it makes me even more excited for this time of year.
Here are just a small portion of the songs that will be in high rotations on my Christmas play list.

Hey, that Christmas Tree looks very familiar, and also the drapes and chair. 1950s Christmas in Shannon Park. Would love to hear that version of “Baby, it’s cold outside” Zoey Dechanel and Leon Redbone??? A Navy friend, when we visited him in Ottawa, played some records or Leon Redbone’s for Grandad, I don’t think he quite knew what to think about his singing.
