Ladies Love Lyrics: Holiday Edition

For this edition of my "Ladies Love Lyrics," I decided to go in another direction. I am NOT a big fan of holiday music. Mainly because the stores od on them starting right after Halloween. I do, however, have a few tunes that I will never get tired of. One will always remind me of being a teen and high school. At the time, Brian McKnight and Boyz II Men could not have been hotter. Great singers who produced great music. "Let It Snow" is classic to me becuase it put a decidedly R&B twist on a holiday hit. The song takes its name from an old Bing Crosby hit. The lyrics are nothing like that song though. I just love it. My other pick is Donnie Hathaway's classic track "This Christmas." This song reminds me of my Dad and being a kid who loved Christmas. I lived for the tree and the lights and the music. So, sit, listen and enjoy the holiday spirit with me. Happy Holidays!!




"Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It's just another Christmas holiday
Just me and you
The weather's stormy but we're okay
And there's nothing that I'd rather do

Than lay you down beside the fireplace
Nowhere to go
You run out of breath, I start to shake
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Come over here
Pretend like I'm the tree and you are the star
You're all the present that I'll ever need
Just wanna be everywhere that you are

Hear the carolers, the sleigh bells ring
Where's the mistletoe
We feel happiness the season brings
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

And oh, you are my everything
Won't ya come? Won't ya come?
God must have sent you down from heaven"




"Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better, this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together, this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
Very special Christmas for me

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town they do this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
Very special Christmas for me, yeah..."

Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone has a merry Christmas. I also hope that with all the gift giving and receiving that we don't lose the real meaning behind Christmas. Yes, the gifts are nice but they are not the reason for the season. Either way, enjoy your holiday. I cannot wait to see my family!

Christmas, as a kid, was my favorite holiday. I loved the decorations and all of the lights. I was always amazed at seeing the houses all lit up. There is something here called "Christmas in the Oaks." It's a light display in the park. I used to look forward to it every year. I loved going to church for the Christmas service. It was the only time that I knew I would see my entire family. The laughter, the food, the love all were always in abundance during Christmas Day. Of course, the gifts were wonderful as well. I was a lucky kid. My Mom made sure my brother and I had every thing. We were never disappointed on Christmas morning. I don't remember believing in Santa Claus for a very long time. I knew early on that Mommie was Santa. And I was even more appreciative of everything I received. I've lost that love for the holiday though. I don't know when or why. Yesterday, I was very Scrooge-esque. Today, I vow to be better. I'm embracing the day in the manner it was intended. Merry Christmas to all of you!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from me to you!
