Yoga Music Flow - Christmas Time Is Here

I did finally put together a Christmas music flow yoga playlist. I worked on this for almost two weeks, and gave up completely a couple of times, but kept coming back to it. Most of the Christmas music that I have and enjoy has a very slow tempo, and it just wasn't quite coming together. However, last Monday evening I sat down to try one last time, and it finally worked.

I used this playlist in my early morning Gold's class on Tuesday morning before Christmas and it worked pretty well. Here it is.

In The Bleak Mid-Winter, Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong
River, Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong
Please Come Home for Christmas, Aaron Neville, Soulful Christmas
Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong
Santa Baby, Madonna, A Very Special Christmas
This Year, Christina Aguilera, My Kind of Christmas
Jingle Bells, James Taylor, James Taylor At Christmas
Xtina's Xmas, Christina Aguilera, My Kind of Christmas
Christmas Time, Christina Aguilera, My Kind of Christmas
Louisiana Christmas Day, Aaron Neville, Soulful Christmas
All I Want For Christmas Is You, Mariah Carey, Merry Christmas
Winter Wonderland, James Taylor, James Taylor At Christmas
These Are the Special Times, Christina Aguilera, My Kind of Christmas
Some Children See Him, James Taylor, James Taylor At Christmas
White Christmas, Aaron Neville, Soulful Christmas
Christmas Time Is Here, Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong

The last song by Sarah McLachlan is just spectacular, and a perfect song for Savasana. Enjoy!

6:15am Gold's Gym class 12/16/08 canceled

The 6:15am class at Gold's Gym this morning is canceled due to the weather. I attempted to send out a schedule update last night, but it was apparently never delivered. If you are a Gold's Gym member, you should have received an email last night from Amorette, the Gold's coordinator, announcing the cancellation.

If you did not receive an email and would like to be added to the distribution list, please email me and I will have you added to the list. The only emails you will receive being on this list are monthly schedule updates for Gold's Gym, and exceptions like this class cancellation.

I hope to see all you early birds on Thursday morning. Maybe it will be a little bit warmer!!

Decorating the Christmas tree!

Decorating the Christmas tree is one of my favorite activities this time of year. I love the beautiful decorations, everyone participates, and I get to play Christmas music as loud as I want and no one gets to turn it off. What could be better?


This year was particularly nice, as we had the entire family here. Not a single person complained (have they learned from years past?), and it was done in record time.

We had some self-portrait fun...



And there was even no arguing about who would put the angel on top of the tree (has that ever happened before?)!


Everyone posed for pictures without a single complaint, and I almost got smiles out of everyone, including the dog!



Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope your holidays and family traditions go just as smoothly and are as stress-free as this one was for us!
