In my experience with children's songs so far, it's a rare thing to find one that BOTH parent and child will enjoy. Since kids LOVE listening to the same song over and over again, it definitely helps if it's a favorite of yours too.  The song, "What I Am" by will.i.am and the cast of Sesame Street is a favorite in our household.  The inspiring lyrics, upbeat tempo and catchy drum line always gets our toes to tapping!

What's the one children's song that both you and your child always agree on?

Every year, during the holiday season, I am reminded of a favorite Christmastime memory of mine, which occurred roughly 11 years ago.  It was the day I met one of my best friends...my dog, Noel.  Here's the story of how my life was changed forever by a cute little puppy some 11 Christmases ago:

I had just started seriously dating my future-husband, Michael, and he decided to bring me back home with him to introduce me to his family for Christmas.  I had already met his parents a few months prior and now it was time to show me off to the rest of the clan.  Christmas Eve is a huge event for Michael's family, for not only are they celebrating the holidays, they are also celebrating his father's birthday, who was born on Christmas Eve.  Michael comes from quite a large family and they were having quite the shindig at his parents' house that night.  There was plenty of food, presents and kinfolk there and as I recall, the weather was quite cold.

But wait, there`s more! »

Enjoy the wintry scene from my backyard here in Houston, Texas!  Not quite the picture of winter, is it?

All of the leaves haven't even changed color yet.  This barely suffices for fall, much less winter!

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree, Dreaming of a White Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...  These are all the classic Christmas carols that I grew up with.  Every time I hear these timeless songs, I get a warm feeling in my heart because so many terrific memories are wrapped up tightly with each and every carol I hear.

I think that you're always partial to the songs you grew up with, which is why Wham's "Last Christmas" and John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" rank almost as high on my hit list as the classic Christmas carols themselves.  Which has me wondering...  Is this what my daughter is going to reflect back to when she's grown as a song that captures the season?  GEESH...I hope not!

Merry Christmas Shawty!  :rofl:
