Aww…some Monday – CMM Preview

I know it’s a little early to post Christmas stuff, but I have begun to photograph and edit the images for my 16th annual Christmas Music Marathon! This year most of the images will come from local retail stores, flea markets and antique shops. The image above is a silk banner that I found at a rural flea market in Carr Lane, MO which is nothing more than a four-way stop with a convenience store, a boat dealer, and a flea market. It’s on the highway we use to travel to Branson, MO. For those of you new to the blog, the Christmas Music Marathon works like this. Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and going through the end of the year, I will post an image or two and a song that relates to Christmas each day. There will be classic tunes, hymns, and new music that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas, the celebration of the birth of the Savior. Stop by anytime and view a new image and maybe find a Christmas song that is new to you.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
In keeping with the Christmas preview, here are a few examples of what you might find when you stop by during the Christmas Music Marathon. Looking forward to your visits.
it’s a bit early but obviously you love it

It’s just a preview. The marathon won’t start until the day after Thanksgiving. I will probably put the Christmas lights on the house this week-end, but they won’t get turned on until after Thanksgiving. I install them whenever the weather is nice. Have a blessed week.

I like the patriotic banner! I can’t believe we’re in the holiday season. Friday night, we saw the first Christmas commercial and I thought, “Good grief!” It’s really hard to keep from thinking about Christmas after that, too. Oh well…your preview is a joy and I shall look forward to your music marathon next month. It’ll be here before you know it. Actually you start at the end of this month, right? Anywho, love the festive, blessed music and Iike the flea market find! 🙂 Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

The banner is a tribute to Veterans Day. The images are my great grandfather, father, and myself.
I will begin selecting the songs next week for the CMM.

Time goes by so quickly and here we are at holiday season again. Now, the forecast is suddenly saying we may have wet snow next Monday. I’m not ready for either the holidays or snow, but here we are. It was nice, though, hearing your selections. Alana ramblinwitham
