Yes, it's Blair from Gossip Girl. Personally I prefer her singing. I love this Christmas song of hers. It's become one of the songs that have to go on our Christmas playlists every year now. To experience more of Leighton Meester's singing talents, you should checkout 'Country Strong.' It was a really sweet, real movie with real characters. And all the actors can sing wonderfully. I was impressed.
Well my Christmas song list is really starting off with nontraditional songs. Here we have Dolly Parton's Hard Candy Christmas. I heard it yesterday for the first time and it's just so sad but cute. It's for everyone who is going through something crappy during the holidays. If Dolly can get through, so can you.
This Christmas song is probably the least... ah what's the word I'm looking for...? Well Basically it's Lady Gaga, do I need to say more? But it's upbeat and puts a smile on my face. Enjoy!
So we've decided to start getting that awesome Christmas feeling a little earlier this year. We bought a new tree yesterday and today we bought some lights and tinsel. I'll post pics in my next post.
And we also made a Christmas mix CD.
Christmas for me isn't about the prezzies (although I do love me some prezzies) I love that it brings my family closer and it seems to make us all happier. I love the team effort in decorating the tree, buying the candies and what not and everything else. I really love this Season! It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
To build up the feeling I'll be posting my favorite Christmas songs each day on here. I hope you like it :)
To start us off is "Last Christmas"
Although it's not a typical celebration-y Christmas song, it's one of the songs that instantly gave me that holiday feeling I love it! It's originally done by Gorge Micheal, which is the version I fell in love with but the covers of it are really cute too. Ashley Tisdale, Taylor Swift and the Glee cast have done it, among others. Today I'll be posting the Glee version. I'll probably post the other three versions aswell during the build up :)
Today I got all excited and ready to make a ukulele video. I guess I should've known that a lot of practice needs to go into playing and singing at the same time. Also my video camera isn't being very nice, it doesn't want to be found by my computer. So I tried to record with my phone camera, how silly! Anyway it was fun preparing for it and getting my songs ready. I shall practice a lot more and then try again.
So I found a new website with a whole lot more ukulele tabs. Then I also realized that you can do guitar ones as well but obviously play it in the ukulele chords. So I have a lot more options now.
Like my brothers said, I should pick one song and stick to it until I get it 100%, that makes sense. But I guess I'm trying to find the best song for me to play. There's a lot of cool ones but I'd like one that comes the most natural to me. So I'm working on that.
So this week ahead will be filled with me attempting to finally play (and sing) eeek! A whole song. Also I need to start thinking about making things that could sell for the next markets. I've been toying with the idea of having a clearance sale and just giving up on that for now.
I'd like to say I'll give it up for a real job but that's not as easy as it sounds. I think I'm quite keen to leave this place. I love it here but it just seems so much more difficult to actually live here. If my family wanted to, I'd be happy to leave tomorrow. Anyway, for the time being I'm happy just doing what I do.
