December 16: Santa Baby for The HIP – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Navidaddy - December 16: Santa Baby for The HIP
The HIP is a mall located on the northwest side of Chicago. It's an acronym for Harlem Irving Plaza, having first opened in 1956. Because of the land-locked nature of the property, it has a very interesting footprint, growing through creative expansion. It originally was an outdoor mall that was converted to enclosed in the late 1970s. While not glamorous, it boasts one of the highest occupancy rates for malls in the area, and is a place I locally grew up with.
A few years ago they stuck Santa Baby for The HIP on their website as part of their Christmas promotions. It's cheesy, that's for sure, but in sort of a fun way.

Navidaddy - December 15: Merry Christmas Baby
It's not Christmas without The Beach Boys, is it? Well, maybe it can be, but not this year! Thankfully, they reference (sorta) kids and children in with the title of their song, Merry Christmas Baby

Navidaddy - December 14: O Child, O Son
Amy & I picked up this Christmas compilation album last year and really liked it, as it featured a lot of original takes on classic themes. Today's song by Supper Club is called O Child, O Son.

Round 3: Steve vs. Amy in "Ticket to Ride"
It's time to post an update on the ongoing scores of "Steve vs. Amy" Ticket to Ride games! Whenever we play a head-to-head game, we update the ongoing results table on our guest bathroom wall, which features chalkboard paint. Our guests are always quite amused when they take a look!
We posted Round 1 results last October, with an update on Round 2 in April. Well, we've finished another column of games, so it's time to post the latest results:
Round 3: Steve vs. Amy Game Results
To be honest, we haven't been playing Ticket to Ride at the same pace that we had previously. Our passion for the game hasn't subsided, but rather with Amy being pregnant and frequently tired, we just haven't had the time in the evenings to play like we used to.

Navidaddy - December 13: Christmas Children
Today's song is from one of my favorite renditions of A Christmas Carol, the 1970 film Scrooge. Fitting our 'Navidad' theme, it's Christmas Children!

Would you like to meet the Holly Boy? Betty Cox sings about a 1955 Christmas character that never really took off. (Thank goodness!)
