'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' is a Christmas song written in 1951 by Meredith Willson. The song was originally titled ' It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas '. The song has been recorded by many artists, but was a hit for Perry Como and The Fontane Sisters with Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra on September 18, 1951, and released.

I have a confession.
A couple of weeks ago I turned on my instrumental Christmas playlist on Spotify for the first time.
- 'Christmas Alphabet' was the first song to reach number one in the UK charts that was particularly created for Christmas. For a few weeks it held back the onrushing wave of rock n roll, too. Dickie Valentine sang with the Ted Heath band before having a successful solo career which included another number one with 'Finger of Suspicion' in 1954.
- It's Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas. Hearing a crooner like Johnny Mathis (whose 'The Christmas Album' was re-released this year on CD) taking on our familiar favorites has lost its.
In the middle of September.
Admittedly, this is early. Way early. But it made a stressful moment a little more peaceful and anything that brings a little calm to the crazy is a good thing in my book.
It's almost footie pajamas season!
As soon as there is a dip in the temperatures, I start thinking about Christmas. Mentally planning the season to a soundtrack of music that makes my heart light and quickly floods my mind with sweet memories. Because while the day itself passes quickly, the months of anticipation are some of the best parts.
trimming the tree…
For my family, the Christmas seasons starts with trimming the tree, lighting advent candles, and hanging ornaments on a Jesse tree. For me, though, the season starts with planning special food, thinking of where the family will gather, and giving special thought to each gift for our loved ones.
Last year was the year of the watercolor.
Like so many other families, we have been pressed into finding creative and frugal ideas for gift giving each year. As the Nester has termed it, the 'lovely limitations' have been blessings after all. Because we cannot afford to go out and buy heaps of presents for everyone we wish, each gift that we do give has been carefully selected with much thought to the recipient.
And that is what I love about handmade gifts. Gifts made by the giver are gifts of time, intention, and special regard.
It's still early for most, but have you thought about what kinds of gifts you want to bless your loved ones with this year?Don't write off handmade gifts just because your sewing machine is covered in a thick layer of dust or because you burn more cookies than you frost. There are options for every talent and skill-level. There are also wonderfully creative artisans who would love to help you tuck away handmade wares under your Christmas tree.

With the holidays approaching, Troy University's College of Communication and Fine Arts (CCFA) is getting into the Christmas spirit and hosting its 'Sounds of the Season' concert on Dec. 3.
'Sounds of the Season' is an annual performance put on by the CCFA collaboration out of the office of Dr. Larry Blocher, director of the School of Music and dean of the CCFA.
'For the past several years, our ‘Sounds of the Season' concert has been a part of our Middle School Southeastern United States Band Clinic,' Blocher said. 'This clinic brings more than 500 students, band directors, parents and guests to our campus and is an important recruiting event.
'This year, we are changing the format of the concert for that event to have more of a band emphasis since these are band students.'
'Christmas Traditions' is the theme of the concert this year, which will feature students, faculty and a special guest, Bobby Horton.
Horton, a Birmingham native, is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and music historian and is widely recognized as one of the country's leading authorities of music from the Civil War period.
'The production will include a variety of traditional music and will close with the lighting of the Troy University Christmas tree,' Blocher said.
Kirsten Jones, a junior art education major from Elba, attended the show for the first time last year and is looking forward to going again.
'My former high school band director actually suggested I go as a way to take a break from being so busy with finals,' Jones said. 'I'm going again because it was such a great concert and experience, and I'm a huge Christmas nut.
'I'm actually hoping to bring some others with me this time.'
Jones said her favorite thing about the event was the variety of music that was showcased.
'I loved being able to hear not just an instrumental concert, but also the choir. I'm definitely looking forward to the choir again.'
The concert not only attracts current students but also brings back those who have graduated or moved from the area.
