If you’re a Kingston Trio fan then you know that my blog title is also the title of their Christmas album. It’s an album that the Starter Husband and I had our first Christmas but I can’t remember if we bought it or he already had it. I can assure you that if we bought it, we purchased it at The Record Shop. A big High Five to anyone who remembers that place!
We were also fans of the Beach Boys Christmas album so my daughters grew up singing those songs too and of course acquired the tapes and then CDs of both – and I also have the albums in CD. I’m betting Tammy has the original LPs.
As a purist I don’t listen to Christmas music voluntarily until December first – and I limit the use of my Christmas coffee mug to this month too. My red latte mug made its 2009 debut this morning.
So today I’m hauling decorations out of the attic and sorting through them to see what I really want to use and what needs to go to the thrift shop. Decorating the living room and dining room will be easy since all the stuff from those rooms is still boxed up from the flooring project. It’s rather fun to start fresh with an empty palette with nothing in the way.
And now I can officially say “Merry Christmas” – none of that “Happy Holidays” crap for me!
