I loved watching the Disney Robin Hood movie. Christy and Brandon had the VHS copy and we would watch it again and again, and it was so cool that Roger Miller sang those molasses tunes for it. Of course this one is a staple around the house; our name is pretty prominant in it and it is so much fun to sing. I wish there was a Robin Hood ride at Disneyland, but the movie doesn’t get any recognition at all.

Last Christmas

To kick off a month of Christmas covers, I decided to lead with George. I loved this song when I was a kid. I loved that it was really a love song, as well as one of those instances where the guy is the one admitting his own vulnerability. To mix things up I tried to slap the song together as though George were fronting U2 circa The Unforgettable Fire period… I had a lot of fun playing Edge. While it is still chock full of faux pas, I spent a little more time tracking some extra stuff in here. I am happy to see I am getting faster at these little exercises.

Gillian Welch is top drawer in my book. This song is pure Steinbeck novel meets blue country twang and I adore this song to pieces. I love the protagonists desire to just get back home to his family, and all the Joad family misfortunes that befall him.

The elves arrived with a few candy canes (48, to be exact, I am not sure what the elves were thinking either 😉 ) and a note that told the kids to decorate the tree and house with the elves’ favorite kind of candy! The note also mentioned to ‘have fun today at Mimi and Bop-bop’s house…’ I guess they really ARE watching and listening to everything we are doing if they knew we were going there today! Gigi was motivated to figure out that 48 candy canes is enough to have one every night between now and Christmas with the evening hot cocoa and book. Between the two advent calendars, evening hot cocoa and now the addition of a candy cane it would seem that our kids will need to brush their teeth VERY carefully every night before bed. Otherwise we’ll be watching for the tooth fairy every night instead of the elves!
