Uh Oh, I posted Elvis singing Blue Christmas a few posts back with my "Blue Light Special" train village. LOL. It was for fun. Not a big fan of the song either. We are having hamloaf this year, baked by my daughter in love, and also a shrimp/scallop/rice casserole, brought by a friend...you met Paula at our house when you visited. Some times we have lasagna but not this year. Now, if I can just get gifts wrapped and some baking done this week, we will be ready! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI didn't listen to your song when you posted it! LOL My grandma used to make hamloaf a lot. It is yummy!
DeleteI think my MIL is making baked ziti and meatballs this year. We still have a bit of shopping to do and I haven't started wrapping yet.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
"Mary, Did You Know" is one of my absolute favorites, too, Terri. The way Danny sings it always takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. We don't usually hang lights outside, but this year, Danny put some on our deck. I really needed that extra dose of comfort and joy.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Mary Did You Know makes me cry too. It is such a beautiful song and one of my favorites as well. Loved your answers! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Good choice for Christmas song.... I too....
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear Elvis' Blue Christmas I giggle, remembering what you said about his background singers. Funny. When I first read this, I thought "Joe hates Elf" was the name of a movie. Thinking, "Gee, I haven't heard of that one." LOL.
ReplyDeleteWell Terri - I have always liked Blue Christmas, and now I will think of you whenever I hear those background singers. :)
ReplyDeleteWe like Elf too.
I like photo cards and newsletters too, and appreciate every card sent my way.
