Fantasia Faries - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

Good Sunday morning everyone!  Can you believe this is the last day of July?  The year is going by so quickly!

Have you been over to Natasha's blog, 5 Minutes Just for Me, lately?  You can join in with us for Sunday Song each week, posting your favorite songs!  It's such a great idea, brings a little calm to a normally hectic life.

One of my very favorite pieces of music, especially at Christmastime (either December or July!) is the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies!"  I hope you enjoy this rendition!


See you next time!

"SUNDAY SONG" Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Carol Of The Bells

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas in July!

Click HERE

Late last year I joined Natasha at "5 Minutes Just for Me" and her Sunday Song party.  She's celebrating Christmas in July this year, and since she lives in Australia, it does make sense!  Snow and cold go with Christmas!

Here's one of my favorite (favourite) Christmas songs, The Carol of the Bells, one I could listen to repeatedly.  The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sound like Angels, singing praises to our Lord and Saviour in Heaven!  I hope you enjoy it, too!

Pop on over to Natasha's "5 Minutes Just for Me" and join us in our favourite songs this Sunday!

See you soon - take care, my friends!

SUNDAY SONG-Mary Did You Know Video - The Passion

Welcome to the last Sunday Song for this year!  Sunday Song will return next year, so please check Natasha's blog for more info.

Mary, Did You Know has got to be my very favorite song, especially at Christmastime! 


I was originally going to post the version sung by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd.  I love both of their voices - it's the first song on my playlist (which you'll have to pause to hear this one).  The visuals on this offering are so much more moving and more clearly represent Christ's unselfish love and sacrifice for us, that I had to present it to you instead!


If you listen carefully to the lyrics, you can see and feel Christ's Love for all mankind. 


He came to Earth to save you and me.  I know I am unworthy of such a gift of His sacrifice, but so very thankful!!!

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.


Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?


Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo


The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.


Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

Merry CHRISTmas!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!!!

My apologies to Natasha at 5 Minutes Just for Me, Sunday Song, and everyone else who stopped by!  We were out of town this past weekend at my sister's for a belated Thanksgiving.  I wasn't able to get to a computer to post anything for Sunday.  We had a lot of catching up to do!

I'll just have to post two songs this coming Sunday! <grin>

Sunday Song - Chloe Agnew / Celtic Woman - ''The Little Drummer Boy''



Join us in posting our favorite songs on Sundays.  Go to Natasha's blog at http://5minutesjustforme.blogspot.com/ and link up with us each weekend.  Lots of wonderful music and Great Fun!



The first time I sang this song was in 1966 in our Junior High School Choir's Christmas Pagent.  I've loved it ever since.  I can just imagine seeing the Baby Jesu smiling and approving of the simple gift of music from the little drummer boy!  It gives me chills right now, just writing about it.  To have our Lord smile and approve of me IN PERSON will be AWESOME one day!


I hope you enjoy Celtic Woman and their version of this classic Christmas song.

Sunday Song - Sleigh Ride (instrumental)

Sleigh Ride has been one of my favorite songs since I was very little, maybe 2 or 3. This would have been around 1955 or 1956, so think "Back to the Future!" I remember watching TV, waiting on Santa to appear, and hearing this song play. No matter where I was in the house, when this music started, I'd be right in front of that set that brought Santa into our home!

 My, what a wonderful song, to know that Santa wasn't far away now! I'd gaze at the old (new then) black and white television, dreaming of all the magnificent toys and SURPRISES the jolly old elf would bring me (sighing happily).

Santa wasn't on for very long, maybe 15 minutes, but that was a long time when you're a toddler. My eyes were filled with stars, imagining what I'd tell him I wanted if I actually got to sit on his lap in that beautiful sleigh! I would wonder if there were a dolly in the toy bag behind him, maybe a jack-in-the-box or even a puppy. And, there were always SURPRISES!!!

The music would start again and I'd have to wait until the next time to see Old Saint Nick (sighing reluctantly as Santa drove out of sight!).

Hope you enjoy this music as much as I do!

Sunday Song - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation soundtrack

Love the music in this movie!  Have to watch it a least once during the season.  When we first go our home about 9 years ago, we decorated it all over!  It looked more like a gingerbread house than the Griswold's house, but it's the same concept.  Seems like we get a little more to put out each year!  Enjoy the music!

Sunday Song - Home Alone!

Here's my offering for our Sunday Song - Home Alone!



Hope you enjoy the music  Love this movie, too!
