It’s almost the annual writing of the Christmas cards. Each year my two daughters and I sit down and fill out our holiday wishes to our friends and family. We have made this a traditional of the last 4 years and look forward to spending time together. Sometimes I include one of my personalized stationery notes with the card if I haven’t spoken to someone for a long time. This way it doesn’t take away from the holiday greeting.

Cindy, I love that holiday story.
Reminds me of something I would hear on Delilah’s 93.9 Christmas Lite Fm.
I grew up listening to her radio show and is now right up there with the christmas music.
I am looking forward to making memories with my kids by sending personalized note cards.
Stay Warm!

The holidays bring a torrent of good cheer and holiday tidings. It is the time of year to spend more time with family and plan to do things that reflect on the unique atmosphere of the holiday season. I didn’t know it but there are sleigh rides in some places even before Thanksgiving. It would be a great time to get the kids out to see fields and out door Christmas landscapes, settings and scenes. You know like riding or walking in a winter wonderland. It would be a perfect time to stop at the stores, look at the displays, walk through the park and watch the kids eyes light up along the way when the mechanized characters in the department store window seemingly come to life. In another situation you may be passing through the forest preserve or glen and catch a crew of reindeer who are grazing in front of trees that are accented with more warm multi- colored lights. It’s the first time you and the kids have had a moment to yourselves in a while and you want to capture the moment. The kids jotted a few things down in their Billboard Desk Slabs, Star, Let’s Write and Organize By Week Slabs. We said we were going to try to send grandma and grandpa a few cards before the holidays got in full swing. We still have to go ice skating and trim the tree. They have plenty of Lollipop, Squiggles, Smart or Smile Notes handy. We haven’t done much Christmas shopping yet, trying to get in the mood and make the most of season. Just left another message on Mary’s mailbox.

Santa Clause is coming to town. You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout I’m telling you why.” Of course you recognize this nostalgic tune that has become a favorite for all ages. The list of artists who’ve covered the song reads like a celebrity who’s who? There are really too many to mention: Alvin and the Chipmunks, Andrea Bocelli, Andy Williams, Gene Autry, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Bootsy’s Rubberband, James Ttaylor, Kenny G, Chicago, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill , Nat King Cole, Toney Bennett, Vince Gill, The Jackson Five, Tommy Dorsey, Perry Como, Smokey Robinson, The Beach Boys, The Pointer Sisters and that’s not even half of the elite group. If you have your My Pads and Apple Memos, Apple Lists or one of your Anthony 7 Pads handy it is a great moment to jot down this bit of pop culture history.
Santa Claus is Coming To Town was originally recorded in 1934, written by John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillispie and was first released as a version by Eddie Cantor. The sheet music version quickly reached number 1. If the kids are listening and singing along it’s more trivia they can add to their pop culture pads: Family and Friends Tablets, Moonbeams or Classroom Tablets. Kids tend to mimic their surroundings. With a warm stimulating environment around the holiday season they will be inspired to be just as accommodating, hopefully they’ll write about it.

“Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with a melody that would last forever.”
