Got Skeletons in Your CD Collection? We Do!

We all have them in our collections - those CDs we hate to admit we own. We'd be absolutely mortified if our friends caught us listening to ("fill-in-the-blank with your CD of choice") Christmas CD, but we just can't help ourselves.

OK, we confess. We have Barry Manilow's Because It's Christmas, and we've listened to it... recently. But really, Russ says the arrangements are superior, even if it is...well...Barry Manilow. And I have to admit... I like Barry! His voice reminds me of sunny days when I was a kid, belting out "Can't Smile Without You" in the car with my friends. Dorky, yes. But, hey, it was cool back then.

So, what's the skeleton in your Christmas CD collection? Leave a comment on our blog, and we'll enter you in our contest. The prize? A free CD by a musical family we just happen to know very well. We're sure this CD won't be hidden in your closet next year (at least, we hope not)! :-) Don't forget to comment by December 15 to qualify for the giveaway!

He Knows If You've Been Bad or Good... ♪♫♪

Our dog, Coda, is on Santa's naughty list this year for chasing (and attempting to devour) harmless possums, chasing (and attempting to snack on) adorable kitty cats, chasing innocent joggers, cool motorcyclists, unsuspecting horses and their riders, and... well, basically anything that moves. Thankfully, he didn't attempt to devour the joggers, motorcyclists, and horses/riders, or he'd REALLY be in the dog house! Can't you tell by the look on his face that he's been a bad boy? His one redeeming quality is that he's very musical -- check out this video to see Coda's amazing talents! (Please excuse the poor video quality; I took the video on my cell phone in bright sunlight!) 

 

Merry Christmas to all the dog lovers out there! Don't forget to get your furry friend a treat (or a bag of coal) for Christmas!
