I love this song!!!!! If you are looking for a fun Christmas song then this is it.

Bonus: Check out this fabulously funny video. This is about how well I sing, so be thankful you don’t stand near me in church.

This Lennox album is fabulous! This album is actually another random find at Starbucks. We picked it up last year on our way to the Over The Rhine Christmas concert in Cincinnati. If you are looking for a great Christmas album full of old hymns sung beautifully then pick this one up.

My brother Lex and I being, well us, while putting together Christmas presents. Cheers!

I love this song. Rick really knows how to pick them. I am sharing another family photo or actually, series of photos with you. They might need some explaining so here goes. We grew up in the panhandle of Florida. We never got snow. So one year we heard they had gotten snow a little north of us in Alabama. We packed the minivan and had a snow trip. It took us a little over an hour to get to snow and this was the first time I really saw snow. We ended up having a blast which included sledding down interstate embankments on cardboard boxes. Wish we’d found the photos of that. I hope you enjoy the hilarity.

And yes that is me in purple, my dad in plaid, my brother Lex in the A’s hat and my mom in red.

And for fun here are our pups Chewy and Frida photographed with an old Hassleblad and processed and scanned by the fabulous guys at Richard Photo Lab.

Wow this song just warms my soul. Rick called it a love song to growing up in San Antonio. Tish is from San Antonio and it really does remind me of there. Our friend Maria’s mom used to make the best tamales during the holidays and when I listen to this song I can almost taste them. San Antonio will always have a special place in my heart even though I didn’t grow up there. So for all my friends there, eat some of Ruben’s Tamales and walk the riverwalk this Christmas.

And in honor of Arbolito here is a photo of two of the cutest kids ever, me and my brother, in front of a Christmas tree.

I am sharing an old Christmas card photo because I am missing both these guys right now! Jake our first dog, I wish I could still hug his neck. And Rick is gone for the week on a trip with Living Water, (a great organization you should really check out). Cheers!

And now for something completely different to make you laugh this Christmas time. This song is hysterical and in honor of this family themed song I will share a photo of my dad a few years ago. He loves this song too so this is for you, Dad.
