We sang this song in 5th grade chorus and I still love it. We were an Auntie Mame family, which meant we pretended Lucille Ball's Mame didn't exist (Bea Arthur coming out of the bathtub still haunts me!) so I didn't know the song and the musical went together. We can always use some good punch.
Brilliant and healing response to a really rough week, Jolene! We DO need a little holly and hope in our lives. Everywhere I go, I’ve been seeing lighted trees peeking out of windows earlier than ever. And now we have 24 days of Jolene’s Advent gems to look forward to. Thanks for cheering us up!🥰
I love your words “lighted trees peeking out of windows earlier than ever.” ☺️ Thank you, Ruth, don’t tell anyone, but your fruit cake is part of my advent calendar 🤫 😉❤️
1) obviously this is the post of dreams in every single respect, 2) I am ENORMOUSLY FLATTERED to have played a tiny part in it, 3) you're the best, 4) really jealous of tree, now reconsidering plans.
Jolene! You are a beacon of light. We need all the merriment we can find. I love that you're putting up your tree this week-end, and I'm really anticipating your Advent calendar. Please post pictures of your tree! ❤️
I’ll take two hot toddy’s please (maybe more!) 🍵😘
I’ll make a pitcher full! 😆❤️
Esperanto anyone? *wink*
A "little" Christmas- not a lot...
😂
I have missed these! Yes, please, to your delightfully deranged, multi-color-light embraced holiday punch. I'll have two cups, ASAP. <3
Jess! There you are! How are you? I see you’ve got a new post out, running 🏃♀️ to read! 🤗
I thought you should know that I *finally* watched A Biltmore Christmas last night…and it was just what the doctor ordered! 🥲
Yes! A Time Travel Love Story! I loved the two leads, too. ❤️
And they actually had chemistry!!
Yes!!

We need to go to the Biltmore, Maddie, my sister-I’m-law went and loved it!
Drooling at the prospect of a joint Biltmore road trip...!
'Almost deranged love of the holidays'. You and Sabrina could be sisters!
🤣🤣🤣
Christmas trees and punch sound like the best antidote- I’m on board!
Let’s go! 🎄😊

Always a good time for punch, Alycia, agreed! I’m laughing at pretending Lucy’s didn’t exist! I loved Rosalind Russel’s Mame, too! :)

Oh wow, Jolene! And (open secret!) one (or two!) will be wending their merry way to you before the end of Advent!🎄
Thank you so much, Ruth! 😊 🤩

“Reconsidering plans” 😂 YOU’RE the best and I am going back to your post now because I need to order “common” tea towels! xx
I grew up with that soundtrack on in the background. My mom loved Mame! And yes, maybe we do need a little Christmas right this very minute.
Right this very minute, Elizabeth! ☺️🎶❤️
Right there with ya, sister! My mantel is decorated, bingeing Hallmark Christmas movies and the tree will be early this year.
Small joys.
Love it, Amie! And I love that there are all the new Hallmark Christmas movies 🍿 I’m right there with ya! ❤️
I am all about decorating when you feel like it. Bah-humbug to the bath-humbugs!
Right this very minute I’m blasting Bing, wearing my finest a tinsel boa and cheersing you from afar with a French 75. 🥂
This is perfection, Erin! Tinsel boa, Bing and a French 75, cheers 🥂 right back! ❤️🎄🎶

I will, Pam! 🤗 ❤️🎄
Do you love Thanksgiving, too?
I love stuffing! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😉
I started getting my decorations out, too! I can’t wait. ❤️
It really is a boost, isn’t it? 🎄❤️
