The album barely hangs on to The Billboard 200 this week, and will probably say goodbye (for now), as it drops 50 to number 200.

Good luck with your crazy mood. :laugh:

Well, you're right and I live in Spain! :mellow:

 

I must carry on with my Costa Rican tradition. I don't celebrate Reyes here, as we do everything on the 24th, 25th and the 26th (Sant Esteve). But the house does remain decorated from Nov. 11 till Jan 15th approximately. :laugh:

 

It's weird but once the 25th has passed, I don't feel like playing Christmas music again. It makes me nostalgic. Last year I loved a track called "I Believe In Christmas (Like It Used To Be)" and if I played it on the 28th or whatever day after Xmas I'd become sad that it's over, and the same happens with TAST,

Christmas is coming nearer and with Celines Christmas album this will be Special Times.

In this month we celebrate the 15 years anniversary of this special album.

I can't wait to play this album again! LOL Part of me wants to at least wait until Thanksgiving is over. I can't stand that retailers start the saturation of the season so early so I feel, out of principal, I should wait. But I will probably break down and listen anyways. It is Celine, after all. :)

I have always decorated my house after my b-day, but as we're going to Paris next week, I will postpone it a bit. However, The album is in heavy rotation already. :xmas: Edited by LuisMa

Woah 15 years time has flown by.

I still remember December 24th 1998 like it was yesterday. My mum knocking on my bedroom door and telling me that Celine was gonna be on tv in less than an hour. Checked the newspaper and she was right BBC1 at 10.45pm Celine Dion - These are special times. I had already bought the album a few weeks earlier, the fourth Celine album in my cd collection.

 

I had never seen her look as beautiful before, simply stunning.

 

My first time hearing TFTEISYF and Let's Talk About Love live and sounding so damn good.

 

Looked at the price of the collectors edition on amazon, ouch.

The youtube videos say unavailable in my country. Even worse though I just dug out some of my old vhs tapes from the walk in closet and they all covered in mold. I'm so glad I never put any of my other Celine stuff in that closet.

 

Gonna be keeping an eye out for the collectors edition on ebay.

Found my old vhs copy of the special and it has survived. Only lost one Celine tape the rest were Sony premium tapes with anti-fungal treatment on them.

 

Pressed play on the TAST tape and up pops Jennifer Anniston introducing Divas Live 98. I cried when i saw the tape was ok. I know what I'm gonna be watching tonight.

I completely agree with you, in my town they're already moving into the season with the Christmas decorations and ornaments in the streets and stores since a week ago, its crazy! I mean it's more than 5 weeks until Christmas and all this anticipation of the commercial sector makes me feel like they spoil the spirit of those days. If they flood us like this more than a month before Christmas Eve, when we're in New Year's Eve what's going to be the mood? Many people is tired by then and I can understand that, it's such a prolonged and exaggerated blitz! The spirit of Christmas holidays starts the 24th of december, and not any sooner, at least for those who understand what is the origin of Christmas. Which is NOT the commercial aim of shopping and spending money on a daily basis in which the whirlwind of the big shops have turned it into.

 

That's why I save Céline's album (and any other Christmas related music) not before the 23th or 24th of December. That night is when I take out of the shelve These Are Special Times and then yes, I play it almost daily during all the holidays until the 6th of January, which is when we conclude the Christmas celebrations here :)

So early. Oh yeah. I remember buying the album a week ago at the mall and remember seeing a Christmas tree already decorated right I front of me.

Yeah.....I haven't been to the mall for all that craziness yet but the local shopping centers already have garland, wreaths and bows up. And of course, there's black Friday. I despise that day! LOL I'm all for a great deal but geeze..... A friend of mine actually put up one of her Christmas trees the other day, too. I was like "ummm....." :unsure:

Exactly. We'll decorate, maybe the day/weekend after. If we're not able to, definitely the first weekend in December. I love coming home to lit up tree and a fire in the fire place. I love feeling all Christmas-y! lol It's my favorite holiday!!

Me too! I don't like all the commercial saturation but I love the holiday and the season! When it is over, though, I'm so over the novelty of the cold weather, etc. and I'm ready for summer and the pool! lol

I agree. People make this holiday so commercial that they truely forget there is a reason to the season. I can't stand hot weather. I just want nice enough weather enough for me to wear a jacket.

"These Are Special Times" is moving up the Top 100 on Canada and the US' iTunes chart:

 

It will probably make a nice reentry this coming week on the Billboard 200. :xmas:
