2 December ~ Christmas song of the day

The Christmas song of the day is: It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I love this song. It’s happy and upbeat and the perfect song to listen to while decorating the house or driving in a winter landscape. 

The song is written by Edward Pola and George Wyle in 1963. Andy Williams recorded it for his Christmas Album the same year. (source Wikipedia)

Even though I have heard a lot of different artists singing this song my favourite is Andy Williams original version.

But I also like Pentatonix version:

I will listen to both of them today while I decorate the house.

Have an amazing Sunday!

Love, Nea

1 December ~ Christmas song of the day

I will try to post a post every day until Christmas about Christmas Songs that I love. I am starting this Christmas Countdown with: Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!”. This song was written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne in 1945 (according to Wikipedia).

I chose this song to begin with because I really want it to snow outside. I want to have a white Christmas and I don’t think I will see much snow if it doesn’t snow here at home. In Edinburgh will it probably not be snow next year when we move there. 

There are a lot of different singers that sings this song. But I have three favorites and they are:

Dean Martin sings: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

This one is a classic. I have grown up with this version and I love it. It gives me Christmas feelings.

Michael Bublé sings Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I love Michael Bublés vioice and he does this song fantasticly. 

Lady Antebellum Sings Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I Love Lady Antebellum and I think their version of this song is joyful and great. 

All these songs belong on my Christmas Playlist, but not directly after each other. Tomorrow it’s time for another Christmas Song.

Oh, Deer!

I have had migrens since Tuesday. Thats why I didn´t post a Throwback Thursday post yesterday,  But I am starting to feel better now. 

Teusday was a wierd day. That morning on my way to campus I almost hit a deer (roe deer). One came running out of the woods and ran in front of the car. I hit the brakes and the car skid a bit and I saw how close I was to hitting the deer. And then another deer came running out of the woods and the lorry that came from the other direction almost hit that one. 

I am so glad that I didn’t hit the deer and after I was so shaky. But it was alright and I came to campus in time for my class. 

And then when I got home in the afternoon I got a message that Wednesday’s class was cancelled because the professor is sick. So I didn’t have any more classes on campus for the week. It felt so weird. But when the migraine kick in I was glad to not miss any lectures because of it.

Today I am going to post the last Fangirl Friday post for a while. At least until after Christmas. Tomorrow starts Christmas Countdown, as I have written before. 

Have an amazing day!

Love, Nea

It’s less than a month away till Christmas is here and I decided that I will be doing a Christmas Countdown because I love Christmas and I want to share that with you.

My plans are for the Christmas Countdown to go from the 1st of December to the 25th of December. Every day there are going to be at least two Christmas Countdown post, that will be about different things. Movies, music, gift ideas and probably some of my own Christmas stories and traditions.

Under December month I will try to continue with my Motivational Monday, Throwback Thursday, Self-care Saturday and Situation Sunday post, but the others will take a break at least until after Christmas.

I hope you like this idea. And if you have any requests or ideas of what you want to see on this Christmas Countdown, please get in touch.

Love, Nea
