FMM: It's in the Cards

During my elementary school days, we had to perform in our school's Christmas program. 

While the other sections performed the classic Christmas songs like "12 Days of Christmas," "The First Noel," and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," our music teacher decided to go with a lesser known Christmas song.

It was so lesser known, that even we didn't know it.

We had to start from scratch, learning the melody then memorising the lyrics. But after we got a hang of the song, we realised that it was a fun and meaningful song to sing.

Here's the song:


"Christmas Cards" was a Petula Clark classic from 1954! That means, this song will turn 70 next year!

Listening to this again makes me recall my elementary school days, and recall the joys of Christmas as a child.

FMM: That's it!!!

Since we're talking about things that are Italian, this is an obvious and perfect song for today's Friday Magic Madness.


Gosh! Talk about old songs. This one is really, really, really old! Like, 1953-level of oldness!

"That's Amore" is probably the most popular song that was sung by Dean Martin. It's so popular that it's been used in countless films, a plethora of commercials, and I've heard this sung in many hotel bars.

Yup, people can't get enough of this song.

What can I say, that's amore!
