12 Days of Christmas | Song 7

Happy Twelve Days of Christmas! A Christmas Countdown featuring my Christmas favourites (plus pictures of my foster kittens).

Just as important to me and entertaining as Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is Merry Christmas From the Family performed by Rosie O’Donnell and The Chicks (or, as I know them, The Dixie Chicks).

Unfortunately, this song won’t play on Spotify for me. Maybe it will for you! I’ve still included it in my Top Twelve Christmas Songs playlist which I’ll be releasing December 25.

I used to listen to Rosie O’Donnell’s Christmas CD for weeks leading up to Christmas. I had a great range of exposure in my childhood. 😉

12 Days of Christmas | Song 6

Happy Twelve Days of Christmas! A Christmas Countdown featuring my Christmas favourites (plus pictures of my foster kittens).

I love Elvis’ Christmas Album. It brings back lovely memories of enjoying the holidays with my mom. I love it all from Blue Christmas to I Believe. But I have a special fondness for Peace in the Valley which resounds the true feeling of the season even if it’s not the most Christmasy song on the album.

Frankie finds these Christmas tunes relaxing.

12 Days of Christmas | Song 5

Happy Twelve Days of Christmas! A Christmas Countdown featuring my Christmas favourites (plus pictures of my foster kittens).

On the fifth day of Christmas, I recommend to thee,

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas with me!

I have great memories of busting out my Burl Ives Christmas cassette tape – a favourite in my holiday line up. I loved dancing to A Holly Jolly Christmas! The song Snow for Johnny was obviously a close runner up.

Time travel back with me! Enjoy this classic and, while you’re in the past, maybe catch one of my favourite Christmas films: Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

I think Grace & Frankie and me are going to curl up for a holiday movie night!

Today I recommend the jazzy God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen performed by Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan. Fun to sing and dance to. Join me?

Why not Pets Alive Niagara? – an amazing organization that helps prevent needless euthanasia of shelter pets through its creative network of volunteers, fosters, adopters, and donors.

I hope this helps get you into the holiday spirit! 🙂

Merry Christmas! Or should I say, Mele Kalikimaka 😉
