Christmas, Christmas time is here...

Growing up we listened to a lot of the Chipmunks Christmas Album (you know Alvin, Simon, and Theodore?) during the Christmas season.

******
In our house the Christmas Season would begin promptly the Saturday after Thanksgiving (which is also the day we got married!!). On that Saturday my family would head out to the Christmas Tree Farm and pick out the perfect tree for our house...This meant each of us kids standing by different trees- staking our claim- until we decided which of the three trees it was going be OUR Christmas Tree. Then we would call over one of the kids who was employed at the tree farm to get on his knees and cut down our prized tree. We would spend the rest of the day decorating and listening to music....The Chipmunks Record was our favorite!

Anyway, this song has been in my head for the last week...So I thought I would pass it along to someone else's mind if you too are a fan of the Chipmunks.

(my favorite part is when Alvin isn't paying attention and their dad/ manager starts yelling at him- very clever!)

"Time for toys and Time for Cheer"

Merry Christmas!
