O Come O Come Emmanuel

by Just_Lin




I didn't watch the CMA Country Christmas show when it was first on since I am not much of a country music fan but, when friends and I were waiting to see the Times Square ball drop on New Year's Eve, we watched the Christmas show which my friend had recorded.  Normally, I don't care for Jennifer Nettles' singing because it is too twangy for me but, when she sang this song, I was totally entranced.  I found it to be breathtakingly beautiful and not a twang to be heard. : )

Love Love Love this song~

Tina~in_ut said...

thanks for sending it J/L~

Maureen said...

DEE DEE...you look BAM-TASTIC this morning!

TINA...you would love it if Jennifer Nettles sang the phone book!

JUST LIN...can't do the vid, but I trust your taste, so it must be good!

COOOOOLD again. 13* Brrrr. I am supposed to go out today, but I am considering not going.

Lynn D said...

Morning glories!

Not bad on the song. Very pretty!

Tho the top song at our house right now is the Hot Dog Dance song. Can I just say I think Mickey Mouse is actually a subversive rodent who is brain washing everyone?

To infinity and Beyond!

Mary/MI said...

DeeDee, you look MA-VA-LESS!!
I hope your "intermouthdom" is doing better.

Justlin, I had not heard her sing this before. What I love about her,twang or no twang, is that every song she sings comes straight from her heart!

Tina,I have nothing... lol!!

Mo, it got to 16 below zero last night. It is struggling to reach 1*
I don't want to go out either, but we are running low on dog food and there is snow on the horizon :( This is one time I am grateful for my remote start on my Jeep!

Keep warm everyone! Well, except for someone in Arizona!!

Mary/MI said...

LynnD!!!!!!!!!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Dianne I left you a box of crackers and a can of that cheese stuff in the kitchen. Enjoy your game.

Maureen said...

Good morning to LYNN, MARY and SHIRLEY!!

LOL @ except someone in Arizona!!

Zona said...

J/LIN: Beautiful song! I love watching the faces of those singing and listening to Christmas songs..there is always such happiness there. Thanks for a great way to start the day! I sure hope you are feeling better!

DEEDEE: Happy BAMMING today!

MO: Layers..that's the answer! Stay warm! :)

LYNN: Hot dog, hot dog, hot dog hot diggity dog..lol..yep, I googled it! :D

TINA: You're certainly getting good at early morning moaning!

From 51:

MARY: Didn't mean to be cruel..I wasn't so thrilled with the ice cream man either! I hope it's warmer there today!

Zona said...

JODI: GO PACKERS!!

Gotta run..waving HI to everyone!

Maureen said...

At work I sit between 2 die-hard Steeler fans. I can't believe I am going to say this...GO STEELERS! And PACKERS!

Hi ZONA! I am gonna layer up. Can't do too many or my jacket won't fit! I'll be like Randy in a Christmas Story!

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

JL that is a beautiful song! I don't listen to CW either, but I really, really like it!

A conflict for me today. My dad is from Illinois and my mom is from Wisconsin, so I must stay neutral for the game today.

I'm sure there will be some trash talking at their house today, and no doubt my mom will be wearing her Cheesehead hat!

I feel bad complaining about how cold it is here (right now it's a foggy 43) when I read Mo and Mary saying it's in the teens!

LOL at Shirley's football snacks! Squeeze cheese, YUMMY!! :) (NOT!)

Lynn I haven't heard the hot dog song, sounds kinda pornish. I bet Carol would like it!

How are little Eva, and your daughter doing?

Tina love that you are still moaning every moaning!

Zona, ice cream truck? In January??

Did you get my email about us coming to Az. in May? Hope we can get together!

Hope everyone has a nice day!

Judy and Zona and everybody else! I've officially got permission from Huz to host the 2011 Bay Area Bloggers BBQ (BABB) on Saturday September 17.

East Bay J said...

Rob I sent you a message on Facebook about that a few minutes ago!

I'll def. plan on coming, and will get a hotel room this time, as I didn't get home til 4am after your first one!

Yipee!!!

Just_Lin said...

Tina It was just a hunch, but I thought you'd like this song. ;)

Just_Lin said...

MO I think I'd just want to hunker down and not go out in those kind of temps. It would have to be for a really important reason before I'd go out.

Just_Lin said...

LynnD Can we please see you doing the Hot Dog Dance? Pretty, pretty, please.

Just_Lin said...

Mary How many layers do you have to wear to stay warm? Ten? Geez!

Just_Lin said...

Zona Glad you enjoyed the song. No, I'm not feeling better. I woke up very congested. My GD tells me that she couldn't sleep this morning because I was snoring so loudly. :(

Just_Lin said...

Shirley That's a great spread you prepared for the game. I especially like the "blow your ass off" chili. I could use having some of my ass blown off.

Just_Lin said...

EBJ Things ought to get interesting at your parents' house today. I hope neither is too serious about their team.

Just_Lin said...

Bear Yipee! That will be so fun! Yes, I will be there. I hope our friends in the East can come out, too.

DeeDee said...

Shirley....what kind of dip is that? You know I can't eat solid foods...!!

Only mushy stuff....oh well...don't worry about me....I'll just smell the food as everyone else enjoys eating it.....

sigh....yeah..I haven't eaten anything to speak of since January 10th....no reason to start today...

DeeDee said...

J/L...lol....that is one of the shoes that Bette Midler wore in her role as Winifred Sanderson in "Hocus Pocus"..

I thought they were just fantastic.....the instep is embroidered and jeweled and there is embroidery going up the back...

Hollywood does the most marvelous things in costumes and wardrobe when $$$ are not a concern...

bonachichi said...

Nice hooker boots, DeeDee.

bonachichi said...

EBJ, I wouldn't just stay neutral today, I'd stay the hell away.

DeeDee said...

I posted pics of the shoes from all angles on FB...I think they are just marvelous!!

I would love to get my hands on them but I think they are displayed like at a Planet Hollywood or someplace like that....

bonachichi said...

Whab's hosting another BABB? Oh, how fun! Will it be a hybrid of Owls and Ross-ers?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

**shuts blender off**
Ok DeeDee I have a pizza shake, a chili shake and a chocolate cake shake for you. Eat up!!

DeeDee said...

oh YAY!!!! (claps hands)

anyone got a straw!!??

thank you Shirley!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

You are welcome DeeDee! **hands her a Crazy straw**

I'll do some pretzels and beer later if you like?

Tina~in_ut said...

put the GD chocolate shake down....ur diabetic!!!~

Maureen said...

WORDS OF WISDOM...

Stand upstream of anyone eating the blow your ass off chili.

And put some chuks on the naughty mat.

ijs!

Maureen said...

JUST LIN...I did go out and it is bitter. I really need to get gas, but it is toooooo cold to stand at the pump.

Hmmm, maybe I should have some of Shirley's chili and back up to the gas tank!

bonachichi said...

DeeDee, how about some frog legs. Those nice big French ones? We could just put 'em in a blender. What the hell.... we'll just go to some creek and throw some frogs in. Push "high". You won't know the difference.

bonachichi said...

I'm sorry everyone's cold. Good thing you guys aren't in Antarctica. Or Mt. Everest. Or even the Alps. We need an Owl Manor on Fiji. DeeDee, call your Realtor.

Just_Lin said...

MO Haven't you ever seen in the movies what happens when a large flame gets too close to a gas pump?

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee In honor of the Packers win, I'll make you some cheddar cheese soup.

Are you seriously without choppers after all this time? WTF? Where's your dentist? Afghanistan?

DeeDee said...

J/L....I have the denture....but I can't eat with it....its just for looks...lol

My gums are far to sore to put pressure on them....we are not even looking at any more work until they are healed...

Tina~in_ut said...

Shirley~ Your wish is my command~ It's done~ Good pick~ :D

Hey everyone~ Today is blog number 1111!!!! :D

Maureen said...

Temperature update...or downdate...
1*

YAY PACKERS!

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee Is this soreness due to posts in your jaw bone or is it solely the gums? How long has it been since this was done? It seems like it's been a while.

Just_Lin said...

MO LOL @ "downdate".

Just_Lin said...

This continuous coughing is exhausting. I'm sitting over on the naughty mat. I hope it's been Scotch Guarded.....ijs

Tina~in_ut said...

I'm thinking the Pack-hers won~

Mo~ it's not nearly as cold here and I'm FREEZING......it's only supposed to get down to 17* tonight~

J/L~ i hate coughing exhaustion! That's the pits~

Do you all want to know how to give me an orgasm? Send me enuf blogs to last until the end of the month! Oh baby~ Thanks to all who sent them in~ :D

Maureen said...

TINA...I'm trying to come up with blog ideas, but my brain is frozen!

It's now 0*

Dianne/Denver said...

Shirley-thanks for the food. I even squirted all the cheese out of the can.

Yea Packers, kind of boring game but glad they won. I wanted Jets to win too, but it doesn't look good. It sure lOks cold at all these games. Its not too bad here.

Did I ever mention that I don't care for Jennifer Nettles---screech?

Maureen said...

HOLY SHIT...-6*

Tina~in_ut said...

Shit is not Holy, dear~

Maureen said...

UNholy SHIT...

Is that better?

DeeDee said...

what if the ca-ca has been blessed...huh...what then!!??

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

If you eat Cheerios you might have Holy shit.

Just_Lin said...

Shirley Or is you eat Swiss cheese. ;)

Just_Lin said...

MO Holy Heat Wave, Batman!

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee I used to have a cat named "Ca-Ca Kitty".

Mary/MI said...

In honor of Jack LaLanne's passing, let's all do 100 push-ups!
You start Shirley...one...

Just_Lin said...

Mary Oh, I didn't hear about that. :(

Mary/MI said...

Justlin, it just came across my local channel. He was 96

Maureen said...

MARY...I was thinking I would swim across the bay from Alcatraz to the wharf, handcuffed and pulling a boat behind me.

Donuts

Maureen said...

What if your ca-ca was baptized? Can it be holy then?

Just_Lin said...

Now his wife will finally be able to eat fast food.

Mary/MI said...

MO, Can you believe all the shit he did on his Birthdays? What a guy! pass the doughnut please!

Maureen said...

JUST LIN...that is downright blasphemous! But funny!

MARY...we need JODI and her glazers!

Speaking of JODI, where has she been?

Mary/MI said...

Jodi is prolly still on her spotted cow/Packer comma!!

Just_Lin said...

MO His wife probably already threw out the damn juicer.

Maureen said...

Hopefully she doesn't juice him!

Ahhh, 69!

Tina~in_ut said...
