My View of Life on the Dock
It’s hard to believe Christmas is only twelve days away. One of my favorite lines in the Tom Petty song “It’s Christmas All over Again” is “I hope Mama gets her shopping done.” Me, too, I hope I get all my shopping, and cooking, and making done, and I hope you do, too!
Taking requests for our Christmas Carol Countdown. Leave your suggestion in the comments or email me at kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com. Thank you!
Super Christmas gift idea for your Tom Petty fan or guitar playing honey–
Do you have a favorite Christmas carol or holiday music that you would like to share? For the past several years we have featured a twelve days before Christmas carol countdown and I would love to continue the tradition, beginning on the 13th of December. Please send your suggestions to kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com or leave a comment in the comment section. Thank you!
This Tom Petty song always gets me in the mood for decorating our home and I’ve been blasting it loudly off and on all day, much to my husband’s dismay 🙂
A New Favorite ~ Mary J Blige and Jessie J “Do You Hear What I Hear” from Blige’s new Christmas album A Mary Christmas, released October 15, 2013. You have to get through all the adds first, but worth it!

Are you the type of person who actually LOVES Christmas songs? I am, and find it really keeps my spirits lifted during the holiday season. I enjoy playing it throughout our home and when in the car (to the dismay of my husband) and adore Christmas music of all genres; traditional carols and standards, spirituals, and most especially, pop and rock and roll Christmas songs. My list is quickly growing too long as I write this–The Pretender’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” U2’s “Baby Please Come Home,” Brenda Lee’s “I’m Gonna Lasso Santa Claus,” Eartha Kit’s “Santa Baby,” and a new favorite, Michael Buble’s version of “All I Want for Christmas is You,” to name only a very few. If you have a favorite Christmas song, or two, or three, or more, I would love to know yours.
Here’ is of one of my favorites to keep your spirits up and to get you through the holiday madness, “Christmas All Over Again,” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I think you’ll enjoy the funny and sweet lyrics.

Well, it’s Christmas time again
Decorations are all hung by the fire
Everybody’s singin’, all the bells are ringing out
And it’s Christmas all over again, yeah, again
Long distance relatives
Haven’t seen ’em in a long, long time
Yeah, I kind of missed ’em, I just don’t wanna kiss ’em, no
It’s Christmas all over again, yeah, again
And all over town, little kids gonna get down
And Christmas is a rockin’ time, put your body next to mine
Underneath the mistletoe we go, we go
Everybody’s singin’, all the bells are ringin’ out
It’s Christmas all over again, yeah, again
And right down our block, little kids start to rock
And Christmas is a rockin’ time, put your body next to mine
Underneath the mistletoe we go, we go
Merry Christmas time come and find you happy
And there by your fire, I hope you have a good one
I hope momma gets her shoppin’ done
And it’s a Christmas all over again
Baby, it’s Christmas all over again
And it’s Christmas all over again
Now let’s see, I want a new Rickenbacker guitar
Two Fender bassmans
Chuck Berry songbooks, xylophone
Good Morning Gloucester
