I decided that decorating is all about creating atmosphere and at this house music is a big part of 'ambiance'. Try doing the dishes with classical music as opposed to a 'hits' station. Check out the difference in vibes. Personally....I think there is nothing better than a bit of jazz in the background when you're at the sink, or making cards.....mopping? not so much....you need a bit more oomph!
So....on that note. Decorating tip #6. Play some appropriate seasonal music when you are decorating, creating decor, or entertaining family and friends. I thought it would be really neat to poll the readership at this time and see what you are listening to. All you anonymous readers out there, join in the fun!!!
Today at work and in the studio I listened to MercyMe- The Christmas Sessions. WAAAAAY FUn....I also got a sneak peek at Jars Of Clay- Christmas Songs!!! What a fabulous, fabulous album that is. For most of the week I listened to the Oakridge Boys-An Inconvenient Christmas. What a fun album that is...and I love the way they do the Hallelujah Chorus, and just enough oomph and humour to get the mopping and toilets done!

I am not listening to any music. But at work we listen to a varitey of Christmas music. There are a few CD's, but I think Tracks in Snow is my favourite. #5 is Jingle Bells by the barenaked ladies and they do a pretty good job. :) Other than that it is usually what Matt is listening to. haha. have a good one!
Love Amanda
Today I made fudge for pakje night. I listened to the Holiday Trax station 905 on Star Choice satelite during that excursion. I'm enjoying 2 christmas cds from Point of Grace while I travel back and forth to town.
Nicolle is also favoring me with piano concerts daily. I love to listen to the piano. I'm not much into jazz (sorry).
Mmmmm... I think I need new Christmas CDs. The ones you mentioned sound good. Maybe I'll check them out. Thanks.
Love ya. Are you sure you're not coming for Christmas?? :) We'd love to have you. Karen
I am mostly listening to machinery of one kind or another. Quite the variety. And then there is the computer, it mostly humms. I change places so often lately, that I don't turn any music on.
Strange thing now that you mention it. Have a hoot, love Randall
