Mo's Manic Monday - Carol

Posted: Monday, December 17, 2007 by Travis Cody in
26



Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at It's A Blog Eat Blog World. Today's theme is Carol.

That's my aunt's name...but she spells it with an "e" on the end. So I guess I'll do something else.

The season hasn't quite arrived until I hear Burl Ives!



One of the best voices ever, Mr Nat King Cole.



Heehee!



Spare a thought for the men and women serving our country around the world, who will be away from their families during this holiday season.



I wish you all the joy of the season as you celebrate your traditions. Be kind, be tolerant, be happy.

Joyous Yule!

    "Be kind, be tolerant, be happy."
    I love that. Good advice all around.

    I have an aunt Carolyn, so we almost sorta have something in common.

    Thanks for doing Manic Monday!

    From the first days after American Thanksgiving, my car radio is set to a station in Vermont that plays nothing but Christmas music ... and I sing and car dance wherever I go... especially whenever I hear Burl Ives!

    Enjoy your first "I don't have to go in today cause I'm on vacation" day.

    I think Burl Ives is my favorite Christmas Carol singer...
    except for Barbra Streisand - which always struck me as ironic, her being Jewish and all...
    but nothing beats her Jingle Bells!

    Loved the Beach Boys. They have always been a favorite. Well done and have a great MM Travis. :)

    Happy Manic Monday, Travis. I can`t get any of it to load today for some strange reason, but was able to read the words and it sounds like a good one.

    V: Yes he is.

    Steven: And not a moment too soon I should think!

    Katherine: Sorry about that...don't know what happened.

    I'll take Nat King Cole for this group...I like the Beach Boys, too. But the smoothe, clean sound of Nat - nothing like it.
    Johnny Carson once asked Frank Sinatra, "Who do you listen to when you're making love?" I think you could've asked Nat that, too...
    Hope you're enjoying your days off and it isn't too cold for you.
    You and Pam and your families - Have a very blessed Christmas!
    ~~~Blessings~~~

    Burl Ives will forever be connected with those stop action animated Christmas classics.

    Gracie: I love Nat's voice. And so far so good on the vacation.

    Songbird: Yup...when I hear his voice I naturally think of Christmas.

    Dana: Me too!
