Tony Bennett

"I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together."

He was a pioneer in the world of jazz.

Let’s face it. There’s nothing like sitting on the couch as the snow falls outside your handsome log in Washington, cuddled up with your love one, drinking lovely hot cocoa, while the fireplace crackles, with wrapped gifts underneath the Christmas tree with blinking lights. What better way to add to the feelies than softly playing some romantic holiday tunes. I could post 50 plus songs here that I have as a part of my playlist, but here are just a few to get your playlist started, as you discover your own that touch your heart.

Every year there’s a list of the hottest Christmas gifts from toys to the latest tech gadgets. And it didn’t surprise me seeing items like Marvel action figures and the Bluey Playhouse, to Google smart speakers/displays and iPads. But one product that I saw on quite a few lists this year, took me by surprise. Well, sorta surprising. Because now that I think about it, I could easily see this on several of my friend’s Christmas list. Heck, I wouldn’t mind unwrapping one of these on Christmas morning.
