December Song Challenge 2011 * Merry Christmas*

Well December is upon us yet again and all of us here at STS would like to wish all of you a

VERY

and a BIG

for all of your support throughout this year.

So we all thought that it would be an idea to base December's song challenge on CHRISTMAS...

The girls have come up with some great songs to inspire you

First up we have BB.......who has chosen the all time classic "OH CHRISTMAS TREE" 

Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to you ALL from ME

There are a lot of versions of this song that have been made but I have decided to go with the version from the ever so popular TV show "Glee".......

And here is my layout -

I decided to make a christmas tree using doilies, glitter, pearls and glitter glass.
While I was composing the layout I kept singing the song in my head so I thought it fitted the challenge really well and was a good interpretation of the song.
I look forward to seeing everyone's christmas themed layouts and I wish you all the best for the festive season and a prosperous 2012

Sunshine and Happiness Always............BBxx

Next we have
Mary

Hello everyone,
Can't believe it is nearly Xmas again!  I decided to go with a not so traditional song, but one that I love and it's one of those songs I can't get out of my head when I hear it . I chose John Lennons "So this is Xmas"

.

and this is my layout

I would like to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Xmas and a Peaceful, Healthy & Prosperous New Year

Cheers

Hello Kim, here
My Christmas song is a true classic

It always reminds me of the building excitement towards Christmas....

It is a truly wonderful time of the year....

 Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a bigger and brighter New Year....xxxx

Gorgeous work girls. As soon as I think of christmas I think of the big old man that visits us each year. My boys are 3 and 2 this year and a really starting to get into the christmas spirit now.

So of course I had to choose 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'. Like many christmas songs and carols there are numerous versions but I had to choose this version by one of my faves, the scrummy Michael Buble.

and here is my take:

I chose a photo of Brian with Ethan at his first christmas pageant waiting to catch a glimps of Father Christmas.

Wishing you all a glorious Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year

Take Care

Hi all and here is my song for the December/Christmas Challenge. One of my fav carols has always been "Deck the Halls"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s3QigQz_Ww&feature=related

I always sing it when I am putting up the Xmas lights, but the verse that I have chosen to use on my page, "Is don ye now our gay apparel" as it so suits this beautiful pic of my great neice Lailah all dressed up to visit with Santa.

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, a fantastic New Year and thankyou for your support and so looking forward to seeing you in 2012.

Hugs and love

Julene here,
 My choice of song for Christmas is "We need a little Christmas": from the movie "Mame". it always reminds me of watching the carols on Tv on CHristmas Eve as they often sing this song.
 Here's the link  http://www.links2love.com/lyrics-we-need-a-little-christmas.htm
and here's the words

Haul out the holly,
Put up the tree before 
My spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things,
But deck the halls again now.

For we need a little Christmas,
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet,
Yes, we need a little Christmas,
Right this very minute,
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry. 

Climb down the chimney, 
Turn on the brightest string 
Of lights I've ever seen, 
Slice up the fruitcake, 
It's time we hung some tinsel 
On the evergreen bough. 

For I've grown a little leaner, 
Grown a little colder, 
Grown a little sadder, 
Grown a little older, 
And I need a little angel 
Sitting on my shoulder, 
Need a little Christmas now. 

For we need a little music, 
Need a little laughter, 
Need a little singing, 
Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy 
Happy ever after,
Need a little Christmas now.

My layout echoes the theme even though the words don't exactly match those in the song...

Finally, Fondest Christmas wishes to all of you and may the blessings of Christmas be with you.Have a wonderful new Year and we hope to see you again next year for more challenges.
