Christmas Extravaganza 2010




Last week was Christmas Extravaganza. What is soon to be an annual girls night out/drinking/laughing/eating/shopping extravaganza with my girls from work. These are the same lovely ladies I spring break with to the beach every year.

For Christmas Extravaganza we stayed at the super lovely Embassy Suites in Murfrees

boro. We frequent the ES because of the 5:30-7:30 Manager’s Reception every night. Brandy figures out exactly how many drinks we must have to break even with the room. This occasionally results in falling off picnic tables, inappropriate phone calls to co-workers, killer uno and rummy games, and/or kick ass March Madness brackets… you just don’t ever know.


Christmas Extravaganza also was the place for us to swap gift and they were superb. I felt the need to make a Christmas Mix of my favorite Christmas songs, because what trip of any kind is complete without a “mixtape”.

Below are the songs I selected because they are my favorite Christmas hits.

1. Do They Know Its Christmas- Band Aid—what can top Duran Duran, George Michael, Boy George, U2, BananaRama, Phil Collins, and countless others brought together by former Boomtown Rats Bob Geldof

2. Wonderful Christmastime- Paul McCartney & Wings

3. All I Want for Christmas is You- Mariah

4. Baby Its Cold Outside – Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.

5. Christmas, Baby Please Come Home- U2

6. I Saw Three Ships- Sting

7. Its Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas- Harry Connick Jr.

8. Sleigh Ride- Ella

9. Winter Wonderland- Harry Connick Jr.

10. Christmas Time is Here- Vince Guaraldi Tio

11. The Christmas Song- Nat King Cole

12. Little Drummer Boy- Bing Crosby & David Bowie

13. Mele Kalikimaka- Jimmy Buffet

14. Christmas in Hollis- Run DMC

15. Funky, Funky Xmas- NKOTB- just because I thought it would be quite comical!

16. Silent Night- Venus Hum

17. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year- Johnny Mathis

18. Let it Snow- Dean Martin

19. A Holy Jolly Christmas- Berl Ives
