Last Christmas

 Hey!

Are y'all ready for Christmas? It's practically here!

"Last Christmas" by Wham was #1 last year in the UK and I just read on the BBC that it is #1 again this year!  In 1984, it did not go to number one, it was number two.  The song from Band Aid, "Do They Know It's Christmas" claimed the top spot that year.

Have I shared videos by Evan and James with you before?  Here is a video of them with their cover of "Last Christmas".

Really do like this song! I think these young guys do a fantastic job! George Michael was a genius songwriter, It is sad that he is no longer with us, but his music is much appreciated.

In my Christmas decorations, I love to have touches of red here and there. In honor of that, I am showing you a photo of the rose breasted grosbeak that visited us in October.  It is a juvenile; the fully grown male would have been bright red on his front side! (Rose breasted grosbeak, the name should tell you that!) 

Colorful umbrellas!  I've seen this done in several cities from around the world, but this is from the town of Conyers, Georgia, where my husband and I live!  Wherever you are in the world, hope you have a very merry Christmas.
