[Amy]

So sorry to hear of your wife's ribs and sickness, Sean. Wishing her less pain and a swifter recovery. <3

[Sean, Moderator]

Well if wife okay will be doing a show tomorrow in the indoor market.

Next, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday doing a Chalet stall in the Royal Square.

This is done by the town of St Helier(capital) and tourism, with characters, Christmas music, and hopefully lots of customers.

Four very long and cold days, so lots of thermals, I will need them.

[Amber]

Never, ever underestimate the value of a good attitude/mood, Sean. That helps, too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A8qA... one of the songs that puts me in a good mood this time of year.

[Sean, Moderator]

Thanks Amy, my wife so much wants to be fit for tomorrow and next week, as she has made many Christmas Decorations and Jewellery for out stall.

[Amy]

Yes! It will be so nice for her to enjoy the fruits of her labour. My best wishes to your family for feeling better than ever for Christmas.

"Driving Home for Christmas" is a single written by Chris Rea and released in 1986 as a non-album single. The song peaked at #53 in the UK Single Chart in 1988, and re-entered the chart in 2007, peaking at #33.
In a live interview on the BBC Radio 4 programme on 16 December 2009 Rea said he wrote "Driving Home for Christmas" many years before he first recorded it. His wife had come down to London to drive him home to Middlesbrough in her Austin Mini to save money because it was cheaper to drive than travel by train. Inspiration for the song came as she and Rea were stuck in heavy traffic heading out of London with a long drive to Middlesbrough ahead of them. Rea said "Driving Home for Christmas" is a "car version of a carol".

[Amber]

Didn't know you liked C&W, Sean.

Added both versions to my Christmas Playlist. Will delete the version I like least...later. They're vids 90 and 91. Currently on video 25 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSynD... ).

[Kirsten]

I live in the States and we have yet another shooting. I have written a blog on it, if anyone would care to read it.

Wow, Sean, you should be getting a lot of thanks for that.

I'm so glad I started taking Emergen-C, wish I had started this way before. Of course, I have to force feed my daughter by tube, but she'll thank me later.

Thanks for turning me on to Co-Enzyme Q 10, that's on my list.

And thanks, Kirsten, for the Ziacam heads up, on my list also.

Take care, everyone. And have a safe weekend:)

[Kirsten]

I just realized maybe I shouldn't have posted that blog link. What is the policy?

[Anne (Booklady)]

As you may know, I haven't posted in awhile. There are good reasons. My brother in law died unexpectedly last month. My sister tried to revive him, but to no avail. Then Thanksgiving was upon us. And I've been suffering from my migraine headaches for the past two months. I don't know about y'all, but I'll be glad when this year is over.

[Groovy]

Sorry, Anne. Wishing you all the best...

[Amber]

I'll check them tomorrow, Sean...Celtic Angels.

Lousy news, Ann and a sad holiday. Hoping the New Year brings you better tidings!

So sorry to here about your brother in law and now widowed sister. Of course all that stress takes a toll on you too. Feel better and a better new year will be here quickly.

[Amy]

So sorry to hear about you and your sisters loss. So hard on her I'm sure. I hope your family finds solace in one another this holiday season and the New Year brings happiness instead of such grief.

[Anne (Booklady)]

Thanks Diane and Amy. Pat was only 55. My sister at 52 is a young widow. Diane, you're right, we've all been pretty stressed. Probably the reason for my migraines - I've been pretty stressed since September. September was god awful too.

[sonya]

Sorry to hear that book lady

[Brenda]

Anne, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Thanksgiving was hard and Christmas won't be any easier. My thoughts go out to you and your sister. May 2016 be easier for you all.

[Janet , Moderator]

Sorry for your loss, Ann. I think many of us will be glad when the year is over. I know I will be. Hope you feel better soon.

[Jean]

Anne, I am so sorry for your loss and your difficult times. I hope your sister will be able to cope with her loss and that your family will find support in each other.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Anne, you have my sympathy. What a tough time you have been having. I sure hope next year is kinder to you.

[Anne (Booklady)]

Thank you Sonya, Brenda, Janet, Jean, and Sandy. Hopefully I'll be able to participate again on a regular basis after the new year. Right now, it's a bit crazy.

Anne - so sorry to hear the news of your loss. Wishing you and your sister all the best, along with sincere sympathy to all the family. A very tough time. Be sure you take care of yourself. I'm sure you are helping out your sister and all the stress can take a toll on everyone.

Just added to my Christmas Playlist, Sean. Will listen as soon as I can.

[Sean, Moderator]

No problem adding your blog.

Amber,I had never heard of the Celtic Angels till I listened to the few songs on You tube, lovely voices.

Anne, very sorry for your sad loss, and also the bad migraines, that is so awful.

Hope you are a little better now.

[Kirsten]

Migraines are nasty!

I have a triple digit number of songs on that playlist, Sean. Curently on 28. Harry Belafonte. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY3o4...

[Sean, Moderator]

Lovely voice. 86 years old now !!

[Amber]

I thought he died a few years ago. Well if Ted Neely's still around...why can't Harry Belafonte stick around, too?

[Kirsten]

He's still around. Just turn on LinkTV or FreeSpeechTV you might see him. He's quite the activist.

[Amber]

Be that as it may, I don't have cable. Can't afford it. That's why I do all my internet at the public library.

[Sean, Moderator]

Harry Belafonte and his good friend Sidney Poiter are both the same age 86 years old...

Also should mention

RIP Robert Loggia, who died age 85 years old.

Kirk Douglas will be 99 years old just after Christmas.

[Sue]

I made it! Just completed my 2015 Goodreads Challenge of completing 115 books for 2015.

[Janet , Moderator]

Well done, Sue. A fantastic achievement. :) Double my challenge!!

Thanks Janet. Still have lots of books to read.

If I could keep out of Net Galley and/or CLICK CLICK I would be in a better position. I have to find a place to put all the new books I need to read, so I can make room for doing income tax.

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol! Damn income tax, how dare it get in the way of books?! I keep saying 'no more books' and then I hear about another 'must have.'
