These are always so fun. Be merry yourself.

Hahaa, cute! I love being merry. I'm so merry there are crow's feet carved into my skin and I'm not even 30 yet. :-P
Merry Christmas!

Thank you! I'm finally starting to feel Christmassy :-)

Mary said...

I'm going to be merry this season by taking time to enjoy my beautiful Christmas tree, listen to tons of Christmas carols, and by baking my signature chocolate cake. Hey, what can I say, Mary loves being Merry!

Joanne said...

Sarah - Glad to inspire the Christmas spirit :)

L.G. - A little holiday fun today, thanks for following.

J.A. - Thanks, I love bringing a little music to my message!

Joanne said...

Catherine - That photo is of my tree from a few years ago. I have a few of those notes, music means a lot to me and I'm glad to celebrate it at Christmastime.

Mary - And I'm feeling Merry just thinking of that delicious Christmas cake. It's a nice way to spread the Merriment :)

Susie Swanson said...

I love the video and the porch.. Merry Christmas with much love, Susie

E.R. King said...

Your video is wonderful! Those snowmen are adorable.
I'm going to be merry this season by baking dozens of cookies and giving most of them away. If I don't, all my neighbors and friends will be disappointed.
I hope you're having a great week!

Scarlett said...

So cool, Joanne! I'm off to put bows on my ponies this morning. Spreading the merriment!

Stacy Henrie said...

Great video! To be merry this season I'm trying to enjoy the preparations instead of just the feeling of "yes, I'm done." :)

Claire M said...

Super cute and super festive! Happy Holidays! I'll be enjoying some time OFF of work -- at HOME! I'm really looking forward to some time at HOME, around the Christmas tree, and baking in the kitchen.

Joanne said...

Susie - I agree, Santa's got a festive porch going on there ... 4-Jolly Cups :)

E.R. - Thanks, the snowmen are a small collection of mine. And I'm sure your neighbors are going to savor that Cookie Collection you're preparing, spreading the Cheer!

Scarlett - How fun is that! You'll be having pretty prancing ponies this holiday season ...

Joanne said...

Stacy - Great attitude. In my house, we bring fun to the preparations with happy Christmas music accompanying them :)

Claire - Home is where the heart is, isn't it! I'm so happy you'll be enjoying the peace and comfort of home, it's my favorite place at the holidays too ...

Beth K. Vogt said...

That brought a smile to my face! I'm being merry by signing along with all the Christmas songs I'm listening to on Pandora!

Scarlett said...

*Big Grin*

I won't be kidding myself, too much. Though they do have a tendency to prance in this cold weather, they also like to roll in the mud. Pretty ribbons in their manes last about as long as it takes me to hike back up to the house from the barn.

It's more the idea of the pretty ponies than the reality, that I like to hold onto. My life is SO Norman Rockwell ~ in my head!

Linda said...

Well, that was just awesome! I loved it! Somehow I missed #1 and #2...I'm going to look for them. Sending joy back your way this morning!

Cynthia Chapman Willis said...

This put me in the Christmas mood! It's so cute!
I love giving gifts and seeing family and friends over the holidays. Very merry.
Wishing you everything cheery and bright!

Joanne said...

Beth - The joy of music, it really is the best :)

Scarlett - I'll bet, though, that they sense on some level the Christmas cheer you're donning them with ... And those Norman Rockwell thoughts are a nice, positive way to look at life!

Linda - Thanks, I'm catching it here! And the other two Latte Video Tips are listed on my blog sidebar ... Enjoy :)

Andrea (Andee) Beltran said...

I'm definitely merry after watching that video! I loved it, Joanne! :)

Melissa Marsh said...

Loved it, Joanne! The music was perfect for it.

Patricia Anne McGoldrick said...

Good one, Joanne! Just flowed with the music!

Jen said...

Love this! I'll be merry with lots of Christmas music, making my famous lasagna, watching White Christmas, wearing my pretty Christmas bracelet, and hoping for a bit of snow! Merry Christmas!! :)

Joanne said...

Cynthia - Thanks, wishing you the same merry thought ...

Andrea - Thanks a latte, and I approve your rating :)

Christina - What a wonderful gesture this time of year, kudos to you.

Joanne said...

Sarah - Glad to be supplying the Merry today ...

Melissa - It has a nice jing-ding-a-ling to it, doesn't it :)

Joanne said...

Patricia - We're getting our Christmas groove on here today!

Jen - Between your lasagna and Mary's chocolate cake, bring on the Merry :)

Em-Musing said...

Darn it! I can't watch it. My husband is in the room, reading some sort of work report. :(

Joanne said...

Em-Musing - Thanks, glad you like it.

JW - Me, too :)

Mary Aalgaard, Play off the Page said...

Fun video! Did you do it yourself? Love it. Also, noticed the triple 4 followers. Great number. I'm celebrating the little things, the meaningful ones, that don't cost much, if anything.

Nancy Thompson said...

Pretty cool video! I just trimmed the tree last night. A little late, but at least I'm starting to get into the holiday spirit.

Joanne said...

Mary - Yes, I made the video with my daughter, who is a digital media specialist. She does a great job, doesn't she?

Nancy - I'll bet the tree is beautiful. Wishing you a merry Holiday season :)

Marguerite said...

Great video! A merry 4 cups, indeed! You are so lucky to have a daughter who is a digital media specialist!

Donna K. Weaver said...

That's awesome, Joanne.Nicely done. Those things can take a dang lot of time.

Joanne said...

Marguerite - I approve of your 4-Cup rating ;) My daughter's passion shows through in her work, don't you think?

Donna - Glad you liked it. We compiled some of my own photos with the video and I thought it came out so festive :)
