…for Christmas music!

I love Christmas music, but thanks to my parents, I have a special love for non-traditional Christmas music. The old standards are great, and Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without them. But I love the people that go out on a limb and create something new and exciting for my ears to sample. Funny, hip, sweet and spiritual – bring it all on! So I was thrilled when I stumbled on this little bit of information from my newest favorite blog (Around the Sun, a local Portland blog that alerts to all sorts of free and cheap deals, mostly local).

“Amazon.com is calling the deal “25 Days of Free.”

Each day from December 1 through December 25, Amazon will unveil a new holiday song available to download free for a limited time. It’s the coolest advent calendar I’ve ever seen.

The songs so far are:
Dec. 1: “Why Can’t It Be Christmas All Year,” Rosie Thomas
Dec. 2: “Elf’s Lament,” Barenaked Ladies with Michael Buble

These songs are still available for download.”

I for one, would like to stand up and give a big thumbs up to Amazon! Free music = happy ears.

Tonight as we were preparing for Family Home Evening, Nolan let out a little cough. Mylie immediately turned around to scold him.

“Cover your mouth, DUDE.” (emphasis in original)

I stifled my laugh and carried on.
