Music Repeats

My J5 Christmas Album - CD cover
I decided to begin playing my Christmas music as I prepared Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday. I jammed with my boys....The Jackson 5 Christmas Album.  Of course it's on CD now, but it is the same album that I cherished as a child. I'll never forget the year Mama bought it for me.  I was so happy!  As an adult, I longed to listen to my album again. With all of our moving since childhood (we were a military family), and on up until adulthood, the album was long gone. Somewhere around 2003 or 2004, my brother Ira surprised me with the CD as a gift! Again, I was so happy!

Then Hurricane Katrina hit us in 2005. The CD was lost with ALL of my music. Must've lost over 100 CD's. Way over.

I was able to treat myself with the purchase of the CD again a few years ago. My children (Anaiah, specifically) listen to my Jackson 5 Christmas Album just as much as I.  We're so "weird", we'll pull it out in July just to enjoy it!

Another childhood favorite is The Chipmunks Christmas Album. I want to find that one as well.  My Anaiah also love the Chipmunks. Wish I can find another one I cherished as a child, that's The Chipmunks Sings the Beetles Hits. I believe that's the correct title. But, yes, they sang a whole album of the Beetles hits. I absolutely loved it.

Feeling kind of young at heart today!
