Friday Music Blog - Christmas Sung By Her

Welcome to the Friday Music Blog on Chief 187™Chatter. Last week officially opened the Christmas Season for this blog and I am grateful. Christmas music cheers me, moves me, and calms me. I wait all year until Halloween ends and I feel it is “safe” to play my Christmas mix

on my iPod. Once the radio stations begin their 24/7 playing of Christmas songs I am in seventh Heaven! What revs me up is knowing that it is not just I who adores hearing the Christmas music weeks in advance of Christmas Day. That shared passion keeps me connected to my fellow man and allows me the feeling of optimism that is pervasive this time of year. I choose to be optimistic and to see the positives around me each December. I know full well that other truths exist, but for five weeks out of the year I surround myself with the sounds of the season, the good will and cheer that exist if I seek it out, and the feeling that love is plentiful and the world truly is a good place.

This week’s focus is favorite female renditions of Christmas songs. From Angelic strains to

rockin’ riffs, mention all of the women whose Christmas songs make the holiday season brighter. Be sure to list all of your favorites and, of course, list the artist for each.

This week Chief 187™Chatter surpassed 36,000 pageviews on Tuesday! Simple Joys continues to be a reader favorite which is wonderful for me as it enriches my life completely! If there are suggestions for changes to the site you’d like to see in 2012 I’d be more than happy to read about them. The formula of Monday Movie Blog, Simple Joys, Freestyle Wednesday, Tantalizing Thursday, and Friday Music Blog has worked well all throughout 2011, but I’m willing to entertain new ideas if you have any to share with me.

Please take the time to revisit this post after you leave your selections and throughout the weekend. Weekends are also a good time to catch up on Chief 187™Chatter blogs you may have missed. This weekend I will be posting another Gift Guide so be sure to check back for that as well. I invite you to join me on Monday as I begin another week of entirely new and original posts on Chief 187™Chatter!
