Welcome to day
of Jo's Online Advent Calendar!
If you're new to blogging and have no idea what I'm talking about, go take a look at her blog to follow along.
I know this is an oldie and one I've posted before, but it fits this year's question. This is one of the first ones I stitched as a kit, probably in the 80's.

And another oldie, this is one I stitched on the flip side of a cat piece.
If I had my act together, these would be finished by now!
Jo's asked each of us what our favourite Christmas song is. I have way more than one, but this is one of my favourites that I grew up with, Must be Santa.
Mele Kalikimake sung by Bing Crosby and,

So thanks, Jo, for another fun event, it wouldn't be Christmas without it! I'm looking forward to hearing what others like to listen to. Maybe we'll all get to hear something new!

Great post, Astrid and lovely Christmas stitching and songs - what a fun blog hop this one is!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many lovely Christmas stitches. The caroling design is just perfect for the theme and the season.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful holiday stitches you have done Astrid. You are bringing back alot of memories with Mele Kalikimake song by Bing Crosby. We had his album that had that song on it. I believe the Andrew Sisters sang with him. My parents played it all the time throughout the holidays. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteLovely holiday stitching. I haven't heard that song for years, brings back memories of my Grandparents, thank you
ReplyDeleteI love your framed stitching Astrid and the other smaller Christmas pieces. I don´t think I have ever heard the song before.
ReplyDeleteLoving your Christmas stitching Astrid! That is one of my favorite songs too!

I love the first one you posted, I think I have a similar one in my stash...now I have incentive. Have a Merry Christmas, Astrid, and the rest of your family too!
ReplyDeleteThe old songs are the best aren't they.
ReplyDeleteYour new ornaments will be lovely when finished.
Your stitching is lovely, especially the carol singers! When I was growing up we always played Bing Crosby's Christmas album, and I love Mele Kalikimake too. My favourite carol is probably Silent Night. Merry Christmas ❤🎄❤
ReplyDeleteWhat an appropriate piece for this year's advent! Mele Kalikimaka is sort of popular in Hawaii too. Just a lil' bit. You'll have those new ornaments finished before long! :D
