9 Days of Christmas

I think everyone has this next song on their list of "must sings" during the holidays.

Day 9:  Mary's Boy Child sung by Boney M

10 Days of Christmas

What's a Christmas list without one of the men from my back-up husband list?  Oh Bing.

DAY 10:  Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth Sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie

11 Days of Christmas

We watch a lot of this TV show that the following song is from.  Last year I was rather hormonal, so I blame that for the tears that fell every time I watched the Christmas special.  This year, it isn't so bad.  It just makes me smile.  Hopefully Phineas and Ferb will come out with another great Christmas special to top last years.


DAY 11:  I really don't hate Christmas  sung by Dr. Doofenschmirtz

12 Days of Christmas

I can't believe that it's almost Christmas.  I haven't finished my wrapping yet!  Come to think of it, I should probably get on that pretty soon.  Because it's a cherished time of year in my household, I thought I would regale you with my favorite Christmas carols that we have to listen to over...and over...and over....but don't worry.  I'll only make you listen to one a day.

Please note that I don't really have an extreme favourite, so they aren't in any particular order, just the order to which they occurred to me.

DAY 12:  Come and Worship  sung by Bebo Norman

My Back-up husband list

 

You know how most women probably have a secret or maybe not so secret list of men that are not their husbands that they have secret or not so secret crushes on.  That list?  Yeah.  Clark is lucky.  2/3 of the men on my list are dead.  Today,  I thought I would show you who was on my list.

1.  BING CROSBY

Really, why wouldn't you want to be married to someone that could break out into song and serenade you at the drop of the hat?  I know that should have been on my list of prerequisites, but alas, Clark is not so accommodating.

2.  FRED ASTAIRE

If I can't have someone sing to me, then I wouldn't mind being danced around my kitchen.  Sadly, something else my husband doesn't do with me.  Maybe I should look into ballroom dancing lessons for us.

Finally, the last guy on my list.  This man Clark might have to be a little bit worried about, except for the fact that he's married himself....and he's old enough to be my father.  I guess I'll just stick with the man I married then.

3.  COLM WILKINSON

My mother and I went and saw Colm in concert yesterday.  The one thing missing was my sister.  She should have been there.  There was even an empty seat next to me.

 

 

Here we are waiting for the concert to start.  It was amazing.  He is funny.  He is talented.  He is personable.  He connected to the audience.  He sang such different genres of music, it was quite interesting.  My two favourite songs of course were probably his most famous ones.  He sang The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera, and just when we were about to despair, he came out for his second encore dressed as Jean Valjean and the crowd went wild and he sang this song:

 

 

He is the reason I fell in love with musical theatre, and listening to him sing Bring Him Home live will probably go on my Top 10 list of best moments of all time.  If you ask my Mom, she'll probably tell you that it's the #6 best moment in her life that has to do with me.  (#1 being the day I was born of course.)

 

Anyway, that's my list.  I don't think Clark has anything to worry about. 

 

Not much longer now!
