For
quite awhile we made it a tradition to purchase either a Christmas DVD or a
music CD. As a result we have amassed a
pretty nice music collection. I wax
nostalgic and just love to listen to Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole,
Elvis, and Johnny Mathis. It always
reminds me of childhood Christmases when all of my grandparents, aunts and
uncles were still alive and we could gather all together. Oh, how I miss that.
This
year I decided to share some of my favorite music with my friends. I loaded them onto my computer so I can burn
them onto blank CDs, which I happen to have several in my tote filled with
extra office supplies. I also have
plenty of plastic CD cases to put them in.
Once
the CDs are burned I will print out labels (which I also have) to put on them
and then I'll make some kind of a little insert/cover to put in the front of
the case to dress it up and make it gift worthy. It is amazing what all you can do with a
computer, some labels and a little ingenuity.
And remember, as long as you don't try to sell any of them you haven't broken any
laws.
What
are some of your favorite holiday tunes?
I love basically all the ones you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea for a Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of classic Christmas music- Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Burl Ives, I could go on and on. I also like modern Christmas music- Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, N Sync, etc. Of course, we always have to include one of our all-time faves 'Alvin and The Chipmunks' in any list of classic Christmas artists- Haha! :)
Josh Grobin's Christmas CD is pretty awesome too. Love Burl Ives.
