Friday Night of Halloween Weekend

Playlist now playing: What Child is This? (aka: Greensleeves.) I love this song, and the harp is so beautiful. Anyone who's known me for a long time, knows that when the first really cold days arrive, I dig out some Christmas music to play! It makes me happy!

Have a wonderful, fun, blissful & safe Halloween weekend. I leave you with this hilarious quote from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Linus: "You don't believe the story of the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them. I thought little girls were innocent and trusting."

Sally Brown: "Welcome to the 20th century!"

  2. Cold weather and Christmas songs! I second that emotion!!! I can not wait until the snowflakes fly! *sighs blissfully* I am truly only alive when it is snowing!

    "Greensleeves"! What a delicious-lovely taste for the ears to savor! As I don't have that particular song handy to play, I think I will go change my shirt. Something with green sleeves...!

  5. I wish I could do some of those call outs, but I'm doing butt-in-chair writing in November with Nano.

    And good luck to you with that, however you choose to work it.

    Wait-one more thing. Is it just me or did this blog look change again? :-)

  8. I love Christmas music - and I definitely start to hum carols as soon as the weather starts to get cold. It warms me up inside :)

    Plus, we had Joy To The World at our (august) wedding!
