I just pulled my cds out of the hall closet and ripped them to my computer. I’m making my playlist now. Let the feast begin.

@Little Piggy Dragonguy The Italian Christmas songs that I’ve done/know about are “Buon Natale,” “Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle,” and “Gesu Bambino.” They’re very serious material that took me a while to appreciate, so I won’t be offended if they’re unappealing. 🙂 

As for regular Italian music, the list would fill up an entire page. My top favorites are “Arrivederci Roma,” “Tango of the Roses,” “That’s Amore,” “Volare,” “O Sole Mio,” “How to Say Goodbye,” “Vieni Sul Mar,” “Calabrisella Mia,” and “Speak Softly Love.” There are also a lot of classical pieces that I sing, but I don’t like those as much. a-hard-days-night-ringo-6

I listened to Back To The Egg for the first time in about 30 years yesterday, and I’d completely forgotten Wonderful Christmastime was on it. He really loved his Yamaha CS-80, its on everything on that album just about!

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Its not. ‘Wonderful Christmastime ‘ was a stand alone single which was added as a bonus track to the cd in 1993 before it was moved to ‘McCartney II ‘ in 2011 as it was more a Paul song than Wings.

I finished my Christmas shopping, a minute ago.

Image Enlarger

I also bought a little Santa Claus statue thing for the house and it’s now standing proudly in the hall- it’ll be another couple of weeks before the actual tree is up so it’s a nice touch.

And one of my Christmas books arrived in the post yesterday.

The 6th of December will be the day the tree goes up. The 5th is ”pakjesavond” which is about the whole Sinterklaas thing we celebrate here in the Netherlands. We always put up the tree and decorate the house on the 6th, no matter what day.
I asked a few Christmas things for Sinterklaas so I wonder if I’ll get any. I bought my grandma a few cute little things and bought myself a few things already as well.

Our local bakery around the corner always has this little book with the Christmas related food in it and it all looks lovely and fantastic. Amazing cakes and pies, but also little chocolates, special kinds of bread and buns, etc. It looks wonderful and I just can’t wait!

We just put up our Christmas tree earlier today and literally all of our decorations.

Why?

Because my mom and I went from this:
