With just 12 more days left until Christmas, I thought it appropriate to begin a series of blogs I’ll call The Twelve Days of Christmas….Carols! Each day I’ll highlight a vintage Christmas song. Some will be more traditional Christmas Carols, and some will be some fun holiday songs. Each post will include a little tidbit that will give a peek at what is going on around our house.
I thought a fun song was a great way to kick off the music festivities. So I chose Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer. This song began as a poem in a marketing ploy for Montgomery Ward in 1939. And in 1949, singer Gene Autry recorded a musical version of the song.
SPEAKING OF DEER..........
Okay, Okay...I know this deer(below)does not have a red nose. Nor is it a reindeer. But hey, I couldn’t find any reindeer in my neighborhood. So this 8 pt deer that hubs brought home in the back of the (lawnmower) wagon was the best I could do!! Besides, in our neck of the woods, hunting season has just come to a close so it's still fresh on the minds of some fellers I know. Anyway, I'm sure a redneck pic like this is sure to
GO DOWN IN HIS-TOR-Y.
