Tomorrow starts the Heart of Christmas Advent Blog Challenge. Every Sunday, I’ll post the topics for the coming week. But, since this week starts on Saturday, I’m a little behind. (go figure!)
I hope you enjoy this “exercise”. Participate as you are able and make sure to link up your post everday so we can share in what everyone is experiencing. Remember these are just thoughts to get you started thinking. Feel free to make your own “take” on each topic.
1. Christmas Music – What do the holidays sound like to you? Does Christmas have an anthem? Is there a certain person you like to hear sing a certain song?
a.

have a favorite version of a Christmas song sung by a certain artist? What’s your go to
when it’s the holiday season and what “sounds of the season” makes it feel like its officially the holidays?

Happy Advent,
Girlfriend, you set a high standard with this challenge! I'm not even going to pretend I'll do it for a whole month….
My favorite Christmas song is also O Holy Night! I am not particular about the artist at all….I must say I've heard several versions that bring tears to my eyes.
I don't care for holiday music until it hits December. And yes, we ALWAYS turn on the music while decorating the tree; as we did today! The kids loved it!
One of my non-traditional holiday faves is George Strait's "Christmas Cookies" song. If you don't know it, look it up. It's a fun one.
–Love Amy Grant's "Breath of Heaven," The Grinch song and anything that Vince Gill sings.
