HAPPY 2013!!!!!

Saw this picture and it reminded me of my favorite game which is Scrabble for those of you who have not seen my older posts. And my brother even gave me a really cute Scrabble mug for Christmas. My motto is “Have game will travel” I keep it in the car. LOL. And another favorite our pets here’s a really cute dog all dressed up for the New Year celebration!

Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

I want to wish you a very Happy Holiday.   Music IS the spice of life and at this time of year we celebrate through traditional Christmas songs we all  know like “Silent Night”, “Little Town of Bethlehem”, “Away in a Manger”, “We Three Kings”, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “Joy to the World”, “O Come All Ye Faithful” for a lighter  mood there’s “Holly Jolly Christmas”, “Frosty the Snowman”, “I saw Mommie kissing Santa Claus”, “Jingle Bells” and “Rocking around the Christmas Tree”.  Then there are newer songs that have become popular recently like  “Do they know it’s Christmas”, “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer”, and one I really liked from Greg Lake called “I Believe in Father Christmas” check it out here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXCEdrnaFlY

Does anyone know the meaning to the 12 Days of Christmas ? I do and it’s quite interesng.
Keep making music,

Shrinking ounces

Maxwell house “New” containter

Companies must think we don’t know what they are doing!  Maxwell houses’ new packaging for their large coffee went from 270 cups to 240 and the new design is much harder to grip.  This goes on with so many products the ounces are skrinking so take notice next time you buy everyday items like juice, bread, jelly etc.. If anyone has noticed this with products you buy or just want to vent please share your expericence with us…

Happy shopping,    Monica
