Amy, you’re a freakin ray of sunshine. I absolutely am loving these vlogmas videos. My least favorite Christmas songs (I absolutely cannot pick only one) are “do they know it’s Christmastime at all” and “simply having a wonderful christmastime”. When we’re playing Christmas music on shuffle and one comes on, my daughter runs over to change it immediately! 😂
Many many years ago, when LP records were more available, we had a Christmas record that was green. I loved that record. It was so cool. I love Christmas sings but only listen to them on the car radio and in the store. I took down my stereo system another few years back, to paint the living room and never set it back up again. Too many wires. Besides, I have to have time to sew and eat cookies. I enjoyed the quilt show. Yesterday the holiday lights! Today quilts! Nice little nifty gifties from your sewing bee friends. Take it easy! Marion
Oh my goodness, White Christmas by Bing Crosby! When I was a new Payroll Specialist in a government agency in 1980 or so, I shared a small office space with a woman named Edna. She was 60-something, I was 26, with a regular hippie vibe. As the person with seniority, she chose the radio station! We listened to Big Band Era music everyday, all day. And the tapes that radio station played included “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas” every day of the year!
@@NemoMeImpuneLacessitNevermore it's my 10 year old granddaughter's favorite. She could be the kid in the song! I love how we all have different likes and dislikes and we are still kind to each other.
Amy, I didn't see yesterday's video till today. Absolutely love making the mexican wedding cakes, I have 2 versions now, the other version is the same but tastes like a ginger cookie. My favorite one to eat is the rum balls. My adult son and I make Christmas cookies together every year. We give most of them as gifts to friends and neighbors. We make about 12 batches all together, soooo many cookies!
Amy your vlogmas videos make me smile! It is like visiting with a friend every day! Thank you for posting the stripology ruler videos. Just got mine a few months ago. My least favorite Christmas song is You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Just bleh!
I loved seeing all of the bee gifts, what fun! My least favorite Christmas song is all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. I use the stripology ruler almost exclusively. I follow Gudrun and her video tutorials are extremely informative.
I took forever to invest in a stripology ruler...and it's been my favorite tool ever! Makes cutting so much faster in so many cases. I love the accuracy, I was really bad at repetitive cuts before. Enjoyed the swap gifts, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the binding stitching idea, love it. My least favorite Christmas song has to be Santa Baby. Love the Vlog you are doing it is fun as well as informative..
I love my Stripology ruler! I like all the Christmas songs usually. I looked at the other comments to think of some I didn’t like. I had forgotten about the dogs barking Jingle Bells! That would be it!
Thanks for a great vlog. 😊 My least fav is Christmas shoes. I think one of my favorites is one very few of you. Probably know, it’s Christmas in Killarney, which is the flipside of White Christmas. I also love Good King Wenceslas. .
I love most Christmas music (except anything Transiberian Orchestra or whatever they are called). Least favorite Christmas song(s) (it's a 3x tie): So this is Christmas/Happy Xmas (the war is over), Feed the World (hated it when it came out, hate it now--love what they were trying to do, but UGH! That song is crap!), and last but definitely not least, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time. Anytime one of those comes on, I immediately switch to something else.
Least favorite Christmas song? I worked Retail for over 40 years so I want to say "all of them." Most annoying is I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas but Santa Baby is close second. Favorites are the Heat Miser/Snow Miser songs from the movie Year without a Santa Claus. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your green & blue strips.
Morris the Moose. My kids loved it,but by Christmas I couldn't wait to put that record away. My daughter even digitized it because none of them could find a digital version.
Hey, Amy! For the past few days, I’ve been listening to loud Christmas music on SiriusXM while doing my best to purge and clean. Sadly, the Smokey Soul channel kept cutting out for some reason, so I just listened to IHeart radio instead. It reminded me that Rudolph-sorry Mr Autry-is my least Christmas song. Perhaps it’s because I talk Grades Jk to 8 for 31 years-21 of those with Gr 7/8s (LOVE those guys ❤). Rudolph seemed to always be at or near the top of the list of requested songs at assemblies. I know that you didn’t ask, but your question made me tip about my favourite. Te traditional song has to be Good King Wenceslas. When ai was young, the boys and girls sang alternating verses-ad we sang the entire song. As an adult, I’ve found that most don’t sing beyond the first few verses. It’s a story people! Don’t abandon it in the middle. Love the word dinted! Owe ver, my all-time favourite album is Donny Osmond’s ‘Christmas At Home’. Many songs I’ve never ears before. If you get the time/opportunity to listen to just 2 of them, I’d suggest ‘A Soldier’s King’ and ‘Mary, Did You Know’. Listening to the samples in the iTunes Store will give you a good sense of the songs. I’d never describe myself as a religious person, by these songs always bring a tear to my eye. But must admit that I’m a marshmallow. Yet dissertation from Pat… 😉 Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
Rudolph is a tough one - I love it but also can see why people hate it. 😉 thank you for sharing about your favorites as well. I’ll have to check them out.
AMA Amy what did you do to your hand, looks like a healing burn (retired nurse here). Least favorite is Grandma got run over by a reindeer! Hurray stripology ruler is scheduled for delivery tomorrow so definitely will be using the links you posted.
Back Door Santa, Clarence Carter, 1968... my mother loved this song, I absolutely hate it, lol I will never understand why she thought this was a good Christmas song, or a good song at all. Mary, did you know? I don't hate this song, but I can't listen to it, it makes me cry. I do have a suggestion for your son, creator of the gummi bear massacre gingerbread house: Carol of the Bells, Geoff Castellucci, right here on RUclips. Tell him crank it, lol, best with headphones, who needs their hearing? Happy Holidays
Grandma got run over by a reindeer-- is a loathe some song. My favorite secular song is the Carol of the Bells, religious one is the Little Drummer Boy. I like all Christmas music & listen to it from Thanksgiving to the day of Epiphany. Alexa is very obliging.
I'm the same way with my family. My daughter asked me to make a double sided table runner for my niece just like the one I made her. Of course I had to get right to it. My least favorite Christmas song is Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. I cringe when I hear it.
Least favorite song?" Grandma got run over by a reindeer "., is just awful. In the season of love, peace and goodwill, why are we bumping off Grandma?? 😂 . AMA question: I noticed 2 Figment items in your craft room. Are you a Figment fan ? I've loved him forever.❤❤
Hello Beautiful! I want to bee in your Bee. Is that different than a guild? My least favorite Christmas songs are Santa Baby and the one with the Hippopotamus. Is Anna no longer living at home? Did I miss that?
That would be awesome. My Bee is a small group (sponsored through our guild but separate) of ladies that meets twice a month to sew and chat. Anna is still at home - which I’ll enjoy as long as they want. I know the time for that is growing short but as long as they’re still in school…
But so thankful for the addition of it in the Holiday Overlay in Disney’s It’s A Small World! We got stuck once on the ride and Feliz Navidad was a welcome break to the main song!
Any Xmas song by Mariah Carey, (well any song at all if I’m honest) her voice grates on my last nerve lol. You have some talented friends Amy those gifts were so pretty.x
My least favorite Christmas song is grandma got ran over by a rain deer. But I have to say when I was a kid I loved the song. Now not so much because I am grandma or my grandkids call me Yaya.
What lovely gifts from the swap, some very talented people. I like most Christmas carols but hate Mariah Carey’s Christmas song it’s played non stop here.
Grandma Got Run Over... I don't love it. It's just mean. I used to think it was hilarious, but as I get older, I have less patience for things that are mean for the sake of meanness. Secondarily, I play a game with friends where you're out when you hear the Little Drummer Boy, so the first time I hear it for the season, it's my least favorite!
"Baby It's Cold Outside" is not technically a Christmas song, but it gets lumped in with them because it's seasonal. This song is creepy as hell. What has he slipped into her drink? It's not charming or funny; it perpetuates rape culture.
Least favorite Christmas song…hmmmm, Baby it’s Cold Outside. I love the voices singing but ever since I considered from the feminist perspective I can’t stand it. I love all the very old Christmas songs like All I want for Christmas and I want a Hippopotamus.
I HATE "Feliz Navidad" It just repeats the same 2. Lines over and over and over. There really must be a better Spanish language song. I also have very strong feelings about "The Christmas Shoes". It makes me cry.
Me again. Sorta behind on your videos. But someone below hit the nail on the head with anything sung by Mariah Carey - can't stand her screaming in every song - plus all the other songs mentioned. Channel gets changed for all of them!!
Amy, you’re a freakin ray of sunshine. I absolutely am loving these vlogmas videos. My least favorite Christmas songs (I absolutely cannot pick only one) are “do they know it’s Christmastime at all” and “simply having a wonderful christmastime”.

Isn’t she
That is hilarious! You do NOT like Paul McCartney at all do you? I'm so glad you're enjoying the Vlogs! 😜♥️😊
You and I are kindred spirits!
Awww
Grandma got run over by a reindeer sends me over the edge. On the favorite list from childhood Away in a Manger and overall fun Up on the Rooftop.
That one is topping the ‘naughty’ list

Oh my! I love 40s and big band but crooners are touch and go and white Christmas can definitely GO!
The Christmas Shoes. Nothing like a song that makes you feel worse about the holiday!
@@janhatchett7834 so true
I know right!
100%
I don’t know if I have a least favorite song. I love Christmas time and look forward to it every year!❤
That’s wonderful!!!
I loved the hippopotamus song. I would play it over the loudspeaker to wake up the inmates during the holidays when I was a correctional officer.
That is too funny! 😂
I can’t find anything good about “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”!!!
Seems to be the consensus. 😜♥️
Also my favorite stitch for machine binding. If you match your thread color you do not even see it.
😊♥️
Could not live without my stripology ruler!
It’s so well designed!
I never had the misfortune of hearing “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” until I was an adult. I cannot stand it! 😂
It can grate!
@@NemoMeImpuneLacessitNevermore it's my 10 year old granddaughter's favorite. She could be the kid in the song! I love how we all have different likes and dislikes and we are still kind to each other.
🦛
My granddaughter is six and can sing every single word of this on key and with emotion! ❤❤
I love it!!!! This is the most ridiculous song that is so upbeat and infectious! It’s just fun.
I love your happy positive energy!
Thank you so much!
Santa Baby that song drives me crazy.
Many here agree ♥️😊
4:57 there is a free pattern floating around out there for a cover for those to use as shopping list buddies
Awesome. Thank you!

I hear ya! It really is a game changer! Thanks so much. I really appreciate your kind words!
The chipmunk Christmas song is the absolute worst!!! Great show and tell. Love Anna’s fabric choices.
Ha! I love that one but it may just be nostalgia. I’ll let Anna know. I think it’s going to turn out lovely.
Thank you for the binding stitching idea, love it. My least favorite Christmas song has to be Santa Baby. Love the Vlog you are doing it is fun as well as informative..
I'm glad you're enjoying the vlog! 😊♥️. I’m enjoying the format and it’s really stretching my imagination.

♥️ my brother hates holiday music for the same reason!
I don't know the name but it has a hippopotamus in it. Heard it more than I wanted to when doing a craft sale one year.
It’s fun once or twice but on repeat - no thank you 😜
Glad it’s not just me! 😂
Very pretty quilts 😊
Thank you!
Morris the Moose. My kids loved it,but by Christmas I couldn't wait to put that record away. My daughter even digitized it because none of them could find a digital version.
I don’t know that one and it seems I may be better for it
I will say 1 thing….. Feliz Navidad…. Its like saying the pledge of allegiance in spanish!! And no im not a snob lol
😂😂😂
I cannot stand the dogs barking Jingle Bells 😵💫. Thank you for all the ways you educate us and provide information to us Amy.
I appreciate your kind words, I’m glad you’re finding the information useful! The dog jingle bells grates my nerves as well.

Mariah Carey’s famous Christmas song
I’m sooo tired of that one!
Do we get to say our favorite carols?
Soon 😜😊♥️

Thanks for sharing 😊

Even the name of that sounds just awful! Oh my! I agree about Mary Did you Know. I’ll let Toby know about the recommendation.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer-- is a loathe some song. My favorite secular song is the Carol of the Bells, religious one is the Little Drummer Boy. I like all Christmas music & listen to it from Thanksgiving to the day of Epiphany. Alexa is very obliging.
I love the Carol of the Bells, too! There’s nothing better than a full house and Christmas music.
looking forwrd to next video....
Thank you!!
I have to admit I don’t even know what other stitches on my machine. I don’t have a least favorite Christmas song.
You are so lucky! 🎄♥️
I'm the same way with my family. My daughter asked me to make a double sided table runner for my niece just like the one I made her. Of course I had to get right to it. My least favorite Christmas song is Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. I cringe when I hear it.
♥️😊 I love it when they ask me to make things.
So you do three rows with the zig zag? I’m still confused. Yes, I’m blonde! 😂
No it is a single row the stitch just stitches 3 times across the zigzag.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
If this were a contest that one is winning!
There's no audio with the Stripology tutorials.
On the linked pages?
Thx.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh boy people hate all my favourite Xmas songs!
It’s getting interesting isn’t it 😜♥️😊
Christmas Shoes. It is about a young child buying shoes for his mother dying of cancer. I do not need to be thrown into depression for Christmas.
Right!?!?
My least favorite is Feliz Navidad. It is the same words over and over. It needs more different verses.
Mine Too! It only has 2 lines!
Casey agrees. We heard the beginning in the grocery last night and it’s still stuck in our heads.
But so thankful for the addition of it in the Holiday Overlay in Disney’s It’s A Small World! We got stuck once on the ride and Feliz Navidad was a welcome break to the main song!
@@Hitchhikergal WOW!
Any Xmas song by Mariah Carey, (well any song at all if I’m honest) her voice grates on my last nerve lol. You have some talented friends Amy those gifts were so pretty.x
That’s funny about Mariah! I really do have an amazing bee 🐝. Thanks so much for watching.
'I saw Momma kissing Santa Claus'...my Mom was a single mother. Hmmmm...
😳oh my!
My least favorite Christmas song is grandma got ran over by a rain deer. But I have to say when I was a kid I loved the song. Now not so much because I am grandma or my grandkids call me Yaya.
It’s is funny and terrible all at the same time isn’t it!?
"Christmas Shoes" I hate that song with a passion.
It’s gut wrenching!
'Rockin' around the Christmas Tree'....overplayed to the point of rediculousness.
Some of those do get awfully irritating don’t they!
Santa Baby
Oh that’s a doozie!
Middle and High School Orchestra has forever ruined Frosty the Snowman for me. ::Gollum voice:: We hates it!!!
😜😜😜♥️
What lovely gifts from the swap, some very talented people. I like most Christmas carols but hate Mariah Carey’s Christmas song it’s played non stop here.
It gets so tiresome!!!!
Feliz navidad is my least favorite Christmas song. Because it is an earworm. I will change the radio station every time.
So many have mentioned that one and yes. It’s living rent free in my head right now 😂
I could do without Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer.........especially since becoming a grandma!
That one seems to be topping the list 😜
I’ve never understood the appeal of that one either.
Not a particular song, just please not anything by Mariah Carey. Yes, I am sure I will get blasted about that.
You’re not alone!
Least favourite Christmas song? Let’s just say that all I want for Christmas is to never hear another Mariah Carey song for as long as I live.
😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
Grandma Got Run Over... I don't love it. It's just mean. I used to think it was hilarious, but as I get older, I have less patience for things that are mean for the sake of meanness. Secondarily, I play a game with friends where you're out when you hear the Little Drummer Boy, so the first time I hear it for the season, it's my least favorite!
Ha! My friend plays that game with the Wham! Last Christmas song.
Don’t like most Christmas music. Too many years working in the mall.
My brother too - can’t stand it.
"Baby It's Cold Outside" is not technically a Christmas song, but it gets lumped in with them because it's seasonal. This song is creepy as hell. What has he slipped into her drink? It's not charming or funny; it perpetuates rape culture.
Totally problematic!
Little Drummer Boy. Tedious, boring, annoying song.🙄
😊♥️
Least favorite Christmas song…hmmmm, Baby it’s Cold Outside. I love the voices singing but ever since I considered from the feminist perspective I can’t stand it. I love all the very old Christmas songs like All I want for Christmas and I want a Hippopotamus.
It’s…problematic as they say. It’s a product of its generation- doesn’t age well though huh? 🤔
I hate Santa Baby ‐ in EVERY rendition !!🤮
Oh and what was the tree pattern used for the quilt at your guild?
😊Oh that was made by my friend Kim and it’s an Amy Smart pattern - amy’s blog is Diary of a Quilter
It’s trying isn’t it.
I HATE "Feliz Navidad"
It just repeats the same 2. Lines over and over and over. There really must be a better Spanish language song.
I also have very strong feelings about "The Christmas Shoes". It makes me cry.
Agree on both points!
My least favorite is Feliz Navidad, one of the most annoying songs ever!
Many here agree!
