Holiday Season 2016 - Little Bear

This little bear is one of my oldest possessions although this is the first time I've set him out specifically for Christmas. I find him to be quite sweet. I asked Mom how old I was when she gave him to me and she said I was about 4 years old.

Holiday Season 2016 - Kacey Musgraves

Monday, November 28, 2016

Picked up a Christmas album on iTunes a few days ago by a gal named Kacey Musgraves. While browsing the sight I noticed the distinctive and retro looking album thumbnail. I clicked on it to find she sings a duet with Willie Nelson who's a favorite of mine. I sampled it along with a number of the other tunes it to have a fun retro country swing sound. I've listened to it a couple of times already and I'm loving' it.

Watched Rudolph tonight on DVD. A couple years ago was the 50 anniversary of the first broadcast of the show. I've been watching it on and off over most of that time. Dale says he saw it the first time it was on.
