Vox Hunt: A Holiday Craft

  • Dec 27, 2007

Show us a holiday craft.



Joyeux Noel Banner
Joyeux Noel Banner


Joyeux Noel Banner: JOY
Joyeux Noel Banner: JOY


I finally completed my Joyeux Noel pennant banner (and hung it!) on Christmas Eve.  I was going for the Paris Flea Market look... whatever that is... never been to Paris nor a flea market there. ;-)

Anyway, it took many hours and there was more I wanted to do to it but finally decided "less is more" and declared it Fini!

Note: The banner is about 11 feet long from end to end.  Each pennant is 9" x 12".

QotD: My First Single

Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought? 
Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon.

I'll never forget the summer of 1972 and my first ever vinyl music purchase... Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass.  It's kind of embarrassing, but I still get a little giddy when I hear it.  ;-)

QotD: Banned From the Karaoke List

  • Sep 19, 2007
  • Post a comment

What song do you wish would never show up on a karaoke list?

Christmas Eve in Washington by Maura Sullivan.  Be thankful all ye who live far, far outside the beltway and do not share the insufferable experience of hearing this song overplayed through every Christmas season since, I don't know... 1977 or so?  I can't imagine how much more vexing it would be to hear at a karaoke bar. :-\

When did you last write/receive a handwritten, snail-mail letter? Who was it to/from? 
Submitted by Places Unknown.

My darling granddaughter, Emma (age 5), sent me a note in the mail just last week.  It said, "Emma loves Mum".  Priceless. :-)
