Christmas Journal Entry #14

-


The LO shows the lyrics of "Driving home for Christmas" and also sheet music for some of the German Carols I can remember.



Journalling reads:

I love Christmas Carols, the more pop-culture songs and I have several CDs which are playing every December.

I am surprised how many Christmas Carols from Germany are still saved in my brain - I made an ad-hoc list and came up with the following: "Alle Jahre wieder", "Am Weihnachtsbaume die Lichter brennen", "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen", "Fröhliche Weihnacht überall", Ihr Kinderlein kommet", "Kling, Glöckchen, klingeling", "Kommet, Ihr Hirten", "Lasst uns froh und munter sein", "Leise rieselt der Schnee", "Macht hoch die Tür, die Tor' macht weit", Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben", "Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann", "Oh, Du fröhliche", "Oh Tannenbaum", "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht", "Süsser die Glocken nie klingen" & "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her". That's 17 carols. I think I can count the English ones I know on one hand ... will have to change that!!

My absolute favourite Christmas Song, however, is "Driving home for Christmas" by Chris Rea. Followed by "Last Christmas" by Wham.

Cool - I like how you combined the lyrics with sheet music patterned paper. :)

I did some journalling myself today too (gasp!).

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

 Here is my Final Round up for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013: 1. Open air market (Market Stall outside Kew Station, London) 2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater) ( Edinburgh Festival Theatre ) 3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building (Dumfries Council Buildings) 4. Airplane (Our Virgin Flight plane to London) 5. A sunset (opted for another picture than posted before, as this sunset is more stunning! It’s taken at Knockbrex House, Dumfries & Galloway, with view of the Bay) 6. Someone or something taking a nap (there’s too much cuteness about, and still so many photos of the Hobbits falling asleep ) 7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny (Seeing it was Maple Pecan Ice cream, the note  “May contain other nuts” makes you really wonder…) 8. A tower (Watch tower at St. Cuthbert’s graveyard, Edinburgh, defending against grave robbery) 9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn'...

Mmmmh... headaches, a little pulling pain, and now some dark brown spotting (but really just a little, goes away after dabbing - SORRY, TMI!) ... wonder if my body decided to take its time and does implantation bleed later than normal???? I don't think that both embies are making it ... but I have a little hope that maybe my little 1-grader (LOL) hangs on!!! Could do with the long wait though .... :( Tomorrow we're off to Newcastle for the day ... bit walking about, going to the MetroCentre for Big Luke's (first time), Hotel Chocolat (first time in Newcastle) and Hobbycrafts - and Toys R Us for Doug... :D Mood goes up and down ... considering what we woman (and partners/hubbies) are going through with IVF we should get a definite YES or NO!!! Not such a stupid limbo stuff!!! :( Little one, hang on ... maybe your great granddad (RIP) can help you to stick???
