I Do Love Christmas Music

Even though it starts far too early for my liking in shops and such.

When I see the Christmas Coca Cola advert on the telly, I know that it's almost time to start decorating.

I do have quite a few Christmas cd's, but none of them seem to have the good old favourites.

Luckily we got our hands on a lovely new album in the post recently, called Snowflake.

"Fun festive favourites for children and grownups" is what it says on the tin, and I've got to agree.

Zack knew straight away that it was "Christmas music Mummy!!"

It's got some of my favourite carols, like Little Donkey, Jingle Bells (every child's favourite, or at least from those I know!), along with some more recent (and I use that word loosely!) songs like Let It Snow, and White Christmas.

Sophie Baker (singer from Zero 7) does a great job, such a lovely soft voice, often accompanied with a choir in the background.

All in all? Well, the boys are dancing away to this as I type, and I'm not sick of listening to it yet, so it's a thumbs up for me!

I can see me playing this while putting up the Christmas decorations very soon...

Oooh I do love Christmas time! Don't you?

You can get Snowflake on Amazon and Play both at very reasonable prices. I'd definitely recommend it to those of us with pre-school aged kids. Even Max loves it. Well, I assume that as he's swaying to A Little Town of Bethlehem at the moment... :)

Thanks sweety! The boys are very happy at having advent calendars now... and with all this snow it really is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! ;)

[Marylin]

The latest Coke Christmas song is by one of my favourite bands, Train. And if you haven't already seen it, my blog is posting a seasonal tune every day upto Christmas Eve. Pop by and have a listen. :)

Oooh my favorite holiday (now that I have kids!)!!

[Marylin]

I know the feeling! One reason I'm a bit iffy about it this year. The boys are supposed to be going up to their dad's... it's only fair, but it'll be rather odd that's for sure. :-S That is assuming this snow buggers off and they can actually *get* up there! (just north of inverness, about a 3hr journey each way)

[Marylin]

I know what you mean! Luckily this one seems to have found me! hehe :)

[Casdok]

My son is beginging to get into xmas so am looking forward to it this year :)

[Marylin]

Oh that's great! No Christmas tree for us this year as Max would just try to pull it down... he's still young though. Hopefully in time he'll realise that not everything needs to be poked and prodded. On the other hand, he is male! ;)
