We put the finishing touches (thrown popcorn which will most likely be mostly eaten in the next month) on our tree tonight. Through the miracle and magic of the internet we did it with my parents who were also throwing popcorn on their tree. Thrown popcorn is a Giles tradition. The inside of our house is decorated. We’ll get to the outside next week. So while it definitely doesn’t feel like Christmas, we were in the 90s this week and Iddo wondered why we were decorating for Christmas if it was still too hot to hang out in my hammock, it’s beginning to look like Christmas. The kids even got their Christmas pajamas tonight.

This is a chill-causing arrangement of one of my favorites:
We’re really big on joy at our house, especially this year, so of course this one makes my mix:
What new favorites or old classics would you put on your mix?

I’m rather surprised that I didn’t hear either of those arrangements earlier than about a week ago.
Gospel soul choirs are to music what Creamy J is to tortilla chips. :brett:
Having a backlog in my feed reader means I just spend 8.5 minutes listening to Christmas music in May. I regret nothing.
A backlog in your feed reader means we just listened to Christmas music in May too. Those are too good to be once a year songs.
