Woohoo! We made it through another Thanksgiving! I can't take all of the credit for that, because it never would have happened without the Grace of God, some very necessary medication and all of the tireless help from my wonderful husband and amazingly beautiful daughter and her S/O. (They left on Saturday and I miss her terribly already) {big sigh} Out of the 37 that were expected, we had a final tally of 34. Of course that's still a good crowd and what made it even better was that some of them (including said daughter) hadn't been with us for Turkey Day in several years. It was exhausting, but when all was said and done it was a great day!
So... now it's time to put Thanksgiving to bed and turn my full attention to my preparations for Christmas. I'm not sure where you all fall in the spectrum, but I'm ashamed to say that I've barely begun to shop, let alone wrap anything. I'm seriously jealous of those organized people who have all of their shopping and wrapping done by October! I realized that I needed some inspiration and when that's the case I usually turn to music to help me along. I've been going through my Christmas CD's and I came across an older one that has the following version of Run Run Rudolph performed by Bon Jovi, so I thought I'd share some inspiration with all of you!
When I was looking for the video on YouTube, I found this very rare, never commercially released version of the same song that was only given to DJ's at radio stations, to be played during the holiday season. It's by the 70's band, Foghat and as it turns out, is really an incredible rendition of this classic Chuck Berry hit.
