Favorite Christmas Tunes

I really do love this time of year, and Christmas music is one of my favorite parts (although, I do refuse to listen to it until after Thanksgiving)!  Now that we are on the single digit countdown to the big day, I have had Christmas music on Pandora everyday this week at work.  These are just a few of my all-time favorite tunes to rock out to during the holiday season:

What's Christmas music from the 90s without N SYNC?!

  Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays- N SYNC

The Queen of Christmas Music

All I Want for Christmas is You- Mariah Carey

No Twilight Zone

{Today I am thankful for my SUV.  I am blessed to have my own transportation (that is paid for in full I might add) to get me to and from work, run errands, and visit my family and friends.  Where would we be without vehicles these days?!}

I have to admit that I have never seen any of the Twilight movies, nor have I read any of the books. Shameful, I know.  I should be embarrassed.  I was in college when Stephenie Meyer's books became all the rage, but this girl was too busy sticking my nose in marketing and accounting textbooks to even have the time to read for pleasure.  I may not know anything about the movies or the books, but I do know that Bruno Mars' new single on the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part I soundtrack is my new favorite song!  I may or may not have listened to it 5 times on my way home from work yesterday.  "It Will Rain", you rock my world!



I will not be attending the midnight premiere of the movie this evening, but I will listen to this song over and over and over and over in honor of this special event.  And before you all start yelling at me for missing out on what could possibly be the most popular series of this century, I plan to start reading the books soon and see the movies shortly thereafter :).

Rolling in the Deep

{Today I am thankful for technology.  It seems very petty, but in all reality, it is a necessity in all of our lives.  We rely on it for work and personal use.  Where would be today without the advancement of technology?  And, that's why I am thankful!}

I love Adele.  I love her voice.  I love her unique beats.  I love ALL of her songs.  I listen to Adele Pandora radio almost every day at work.  She.is.my.favorite.  I found a video this morning that made my day.  These girls are already pretty famous thanks to Ellen and their Nikki Minaj tribute, but mark my words: 

They will make it big one day!  

Check it out:

Do you Pandora??!

...if you don't you should be!

• It's what gets me through most work days.
• It's completely FREE!
• You get to pick your own station/type of music.
• There are a lot less commercials than the radio.
• You can change the station at any time (I do a million times a day)!
• It even allows you to "dislike" any song and it will never play it again!

I have always been a huge fan of all types of music, even as a kid.  Although the maternal side of my family is not very musically inclined, my paternal side is.  Unfortunately, as far as vocals, I got my mother's genes.  Don't get me wrong...I can shake a leg and bust a move with the best of them, but I will keep my "concerts" limited to the shower and my car.  My dad played in a band for years as a teenager, and even when I was a kid.  He is the baby of six brothers and they all can play several musical instruments, as well as sing their hearts out.  It was always a treat at family reunions when I was a kid.  I think it was a requirement to bring an instrument.  Thus, my love of music developed.

From old school rock and roll to blues and R & B, I love it all.  Live bands are my fav!  I love going on date night with the hubby to a laid back restaurant with live music.  Any guy or girl who can play the guitar AND can sing, has my attention!
