My Favorite Things...

So as we've already established, I love Christmas Music. It's on every minute that I'm in the car or at home. But there are a few songs that just make me wonder why they're considered Christmas songs. Just because Dan Folgelberg meets his old lover in a grocery store when the snow was falling Christmas eve, doesn't make it Christmas song worthy. And do the words 'Snowflakes' and 'Sleighbells' sung once in the song carry enough weight to make "My Favorite Things" (sung by at least 3 different people I've heard thus far) also a christmas song? Well, who am I
to question why, it's a good song from a great movie that I just happen to not have and would perhaps love as a christmas gift, hint hint, and it's also caused me to pause and think about the things I love at Christmastime. So, put the tune in your head and sing along to "My Favorite Things"

Snowflakes on white trees and whiskers on Santa,

temple square lights, time with poppa and nanna,

bright christmas packages, smiles that they bring,

these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored fondants and crisp peanut brittle,

carmels and turtles, we snitched just a little.

Time spent with sisters, it makes my heart sing,

these are a few of my favorite things.

Gifts that are homemade and fun decorations,

music and choirs make for great celebrations,

Christmas Eve dinner, acting the na-tiv-i-ty,

these are a few of my favorite things.

When the snow blows, when the cash goes,

when I'm feeling stressed,

I simply remember my favorite things,

and then I will feeeeel....so BLESSED!
