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've been listening to holiday music all week and for the first time in...ever...my husband suggested we put up all our decor early. We need all the joy we can get.
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 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? 🎄❤️
