19th December ~ Christmas Song of the Day

Happy Hump day everyone! Today’s Christmas Song is Sleight Ride. I love this song and it always makes me happy. It takes me back to my childhood and walking around in the snow in the woods.

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let’s go
Let’s look at the show
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

I hope you liked the Christmas Song of the day. Have a fantastic Wednesday.

Love, Nea

18th December ~ Christmas Song of the Day

It’s Tuesday and Christmas is just a week away. We have snow outside now and I hope it stays that way. I want a white Christmas. Therefore is the Christmas Song of the day: White Christmas. I love this classic Christmas song and my favourite is when Bing Crosby sings this song. 

But I also like when Michael Bublé sings this song with Shania Twain. It´s a little more sway in that song. Perfect to listen to while you pack presents, clean the house or bake.

I hope you all have an wonderful Tuesday!

Love, Nea

17th December ~ Christmas Song of the day

It’s Monday again and today’s Christmas song is Santa Baby. This is a song I have loved since I saw Clarista Flockhart sing it on an episode on Ally McBeal. You can hear her version down below. 

Many artists has sung this song and I think it’s hard to pick which ones are the best. But I think that two of the best are Eartha Kitt and Kylie Minogue’s versions. 

That’s it for today. Tomorrow I will be back with a new Christmas Song of the day. Have a fantastic Monday!

Love, Nea

16th December ~ Christmas Song of the day

Christmas is about a week away and I been hearing a lot about peoples Christmas wish lists the last couple of days. And I have been thinking about what I want for Christmas. It got me thinking about this song because I think it sums up pretty much what I want for Christmas. So the song for today is My Grown Up Christmas List.

I think Kelly Clarkson sings this song so beautiful and the lyrics is wonderful. I also like Michael Bublé’s version of this song.

I hope you liked today’s song. I am back with a new song tomorrow. Have a fantastic Sunday!

Love, Nea

15th December ~ Christmas Song of the day

We are getting closer and closer to Christmas. And I can see the excitement on kids faces. And I have to admit I am excited too.

The Christmas song of the day is Frosty The Snowman. This is a song that I love. It has always been on my Christmas Music playlist.

I have chosen these two versions of the song because they are my favourites. I know that I grew up listening to Bing Crosby’s Christmas music and his singing give me Christmas feelings. And I Michael Bublé because I love listening to him sing. 

Have an wonderful Saturday!

Love, Nea

Lucia

Thursday was the Lucia day here in Sweden. And everywhere in Sweden, we had Lucia celebrations. I actually saw one by accident on Thursday. I went to the grocery store with my mother and my nephew. I didn’t understand why the parking lots where so full of cars or why it was so dark in the store. But when we had started shopping. The Lucia for our two towns (the town where my parents live and the town where I live) came into the store with her handmaidens and sang beautiful songs. 

Lucia and her Handmaiden at the grocery store.

My Nephew was delighted and watched them with big eyes. I took some photos and videos of this. I am going to miss him very much when I am in Edinburgh.

My Mother and My nephew watching Lucia and her Handmaiden.

Lucia is one of my favourite celebration leading up to Christmas. It’s a day of light and I love so many of the songs that are sung during this day.

If you want to know more about Lucia you can click on this or you can watch the youtube clip down below.

And the clip below is from a Lucia Celebration 2015 in a church in Gothenburg, Sweden.

I hope you found this interesting. Have an amazing day!

Love, Nea

12th December ~ Christmas Song of the day

It’s Hump Day and I have a class today. I am not feeling that motivated to drive to campus for an 80 minutes class. I am going to spend more time in the car, but what can you do. I will be listening to today’s song, Run, Run Rudolph to lift my spirits.

This is a song that I associate with Christmas because I know that it was on one of the CDs my parents always listen to around Christmas time. And now I always listen to it in December.

I hope you have a great day, and don’t let the fact that it’s Hump Day bring you down.

Love, Nea
