One // Christmas Favorites {Photo Challenge}

Well there’s no better time to share some of my favorite photos of this holiday season than now! The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: One asks us to show photos that highlight “one thing”. To me, that means my love of shallow depth of field and wide open aperture will definitely work for this challenge!

Along with some of my fave images, I thought I’d share some of my favorite songs of the season, too!

And that’s just a few of my favorite Christmas songs! What are yours? What Christmas songs touch you emotionally, whether it’s a smile on your face or a tear in your eye? What photos have you captured this holiday season that makes your heart sing? I’d love to see or hear, so let me know in the comments!

As always, thanks for stopping by. Have a joyful, creative, blessing filled day!
Live creatively!
xoxo,

  2. Thank you for all the Holiday cheer and the music. My wife and I saw Nana Mouskouri Live In her first show in Vegas – Her only show in Vegas that we know of.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very Happy New Year. Jim [mhdriver]

  3. I love your pictures. Especially the candy cane pic. My taste in music mirrors yours quite a bit. I also love the song “Christmas Carousel” by Peggy Lee and “Hard Candy Christmas” by Dolly Parton.

    • Thank you, Juliann! The candy cane treats (and oreos) were from a friend’s party – I wanted to get photos of the yummies before they were gone. Good thing I did as I then ended up having such great wine, yummy snacks and engaging conversations, I didn’t get any people shots! Thanks for sharing your songs – had never heard Dolly’s song – love ’em! Merry Christmas!!
