Feliz Navidad

I had Christmas music playing on shuffle the other day, and José Felicíano came on. I asked John if he knew that he was blind. That information shocked him. I’ve never talked about it, but this song is just as much in Sean’s child as it is mine because I make sure of that because I listen to it a lot.

I just told my Mom that I remembered before basketball practice at Saint Clemens (we had to borrow their gym some nights and they are located in Dearborn) that me, and my friend Jenny Sauceda were hugging each other and dancing in a circle while singing this song. There’s not very many words, and we knew all of them because I’m sure this song was just as much a part of her Christmases as it was a part of mine!:

5th and Final Tine

I watched Love Actually today and I think that is going to be the fifth and final time this year. I absolutely LOVE this movie and I didn’t see it until 2019. When it came out, I was busy watching kids stuff because Sean was just a kid. I had heard stuff about this movie so I finally watched it in 2019. I couldn’t get over how weird Alan Rickman looked!!!

And I love this song in this movie as well!!!

But this scene with this song is what sealed the deal for me!!! That song is my soundtrack for my first year at Western!!!:

Iconic

I have only heard to this song twice this year but right now is the third time I’m hearing it but I saw this and I thought it was so iconic!!!:

I saw this and I thought it was so cool because this is from 1989 and did he know that that line would be so iconic! It’s one of the lines I love singing with this song!

I remember I saw a of an interview with Bono. In retrospect, he feels that he ‘over sang’his part in this song! Well, Bono can do no wrong in my eyes!

Because, he just Does

it looks like, when you Google, “Jon Secada O,, holy night,” A bunch of other videos come on your feed! I decided to check this one out and I wasn’t that disappointed:

I decided to watch it because they were ‘The Texas Tenors.’ It was good, but Jon Secada has my heart!!!:

Because, he just does. I LOVE this version of this song!!!

“Shake Up Christmas”

OK, I just have to hear the Train Christmas song so I will post it here:

I am really not liking how the video is not posting as a video, it’s just a link. Think it’s because I have an iPhone 12 which is our archaic right now. But just click the hyperlink and you will hear this song.

I remember I saw him in a Hallmark movie. I think it was when of the song first came out. He was. a music teacher or something. I didn’t like seeing him act! He looked like a very small man and I did not like it. It was far cry different from the shirtless guy and tight pants singing “Marry Me” as he walked through the crowd! I will always remember that that was the first time that I saw a hairy chest and I was not disgusted by it because I was already 28 years old!

Regardless, I really dig this song! It came out the second year of living in our house.

Top 5 Christmas Songs

I have just realized that I have not posted my ‘all-time Christmas faves list’ since 2015! That is because my knee was injured in October 2016 and the subsequent surgery in July 2017 did not leave me any room to think of anything other than the pain that I have been in!

But now that I am homebound, I have time. I think that I am just going to post my top five Christmas songs:


I just saw this short of George Michael talking about the concept of the video:

I got these Christmas songs because the first one is Wham! duh!!!

This second song is my Mom‘s favorite song and reminds me of my childhood at 6020:

This third song is Sean‘s favorite song. He’s such an old soul! I dig this one too!:

This one has been one of my favorite Christmas songs since I was seven years old and my cousins, Belinda and Sal, sang it at the piano with their friend! This was my only warm Christmas that we spent in Texas where we barbecued on the deck for Christmas Day?!!!!

this last song has to be on my list because this was a conversation with my cousinwhen I was 17 and she was 19. She does not like wham! but listens to it because I love it. So I don’t like this song but I listen to it because she loves it!!!:

Rando Tune #58

I have a watched A California Christmas three times this year and it’s not even technically Christmas time officially yet! I was not feeling any of the Hallmark movies that were playing and were set to play for the rest of the evening, so I just put that movie back on.

My eyes are thing now that scares me. I knew that I recognize this song from back when I was working I think? Well, I found it again today:
