F is for...Feliz Navidad and Friends






Moving in to Tuesday (and really wishing it was closer to the always coveted weekend) we're talking all about the letter F today.




F is for "Feliz Navidad" and "Friends in Low Places"

"Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano
 

I don't know what it is about this song, but Christmas is not complete for me until I've hear it about a million times.  It's my second favorite Christmas song (behind Wham's "Last Christmas") and it makes me want to dance and wrap presents.  It should be noted that I LOVE wrapping presents...so this is played a lot!

*Fun Fact:  "Feliz Navidad" is one of the most downloaded and aired Christmas songs in the US and Canada.

"Friends in Low Places" - Garth Brooks
 

You really can't go wrong with classic Garth, and what's more classic than "Friends in Low Places"...especially the live version with the hidden chorus!  This is a go-to at everything from birthdays, to weddings, to gatherings in general.  It is guaranteed to get just about everyone singing along and holding a glass of some beverage in the air while swaying back and forth.  Tell me I'm wrong!  And, really, No Fences is one of Garth's best albums.  Not a bad song.

*Lyrics:  "I guess I was wrong / I just don't belong / But then, I've been there before / And everything's all right / I'll just say goodnight / And I'll show myself to the door / I didn't mean to cause a big scene / Just wait 'til I finish this glass / Then sweet little lady / I'll head back to the bar / And you can kiss my ass"

What are some of your favorite F songs?

Blog on, fellow A-Zers!

    I am a die hard Garth fan even though I really no longer listen to country. I own every album. No Fences is right up there at the top, though I have a few favorite songs that line up on other albums. As a whole, I agree...No Fences was pretty tops. Elle @ Erratic Project Junkie

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
