December 7--Advent at ADAFT 2014!

 When I was a little girl my mom and I watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney every year.  Not only that, but we had Bing's Christmas album of the same name (yes, it was an LP) and listened to it all through December.  So even though we've mentioned White Christmas on the blog before, I'm bringing it up again because for me, it's the sound of Christmas past.

Since we moved to Denmark, we've only had one actual white Christmas, though we have had plenty of snow.  I read last week that on average Aarhus only gets a white Christmas once every 12 years.  That's OK, though--some of us are still hoping!

December 1--Advent at ADAFT 2012!

Hello dearest readers! 

It's that time again--December is here already, and that means we're bringing you 24 festive blog entries while you count down to Jul!

Last year we brought you a musical number from my favorite holiday movie, "White Christmas."  Here's another of my favorite parts, featuring Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen.  Sure, Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney are fantastic and there's nothing sweeter than when they sing "Count Your Blessings," (which, sadly, is not on YouTube), but for pure falling-in-love, pre-Christmas excitement, I'll take this scene any day.
