Sing Along - My Favorite Things
Ranked #1,971 in Music, #56,816 overall
Welcome to My Favorite Things I'm Sure You'll Want to Sing Along!
My family was always into music! From as early as I can remember we performed in our living room, in neighborhood gatherings, and on occasion we acted out our talents in Navy Family Talent Shows...our performance of My Favorite Things got a standing ovation.
My dad was great at strummin' the guitar and mom made sure we had the perfect 'outfit' in our chest full of accessories.
My Favorite Things, in particular, was the best! Especially during the holidays it reminds me of:
~ good times with family
~singing as if no one is watching
~the smell of fresh baked cookies and cider
~a scrumptious home-cooked meal
~getting bitter cold and then snuggling up by the fire
In celebration of "My Favorite Things"... ENJOY!!

About The Sound of Music
The movie that features the song - My Favorite Things
Act I
In Salzburg, Austria, just before World War II, nuns from Nonnberg Abbey are singing the Dixit Dominus. One of the postulants, Maria Rainer, is missing. On the mountainside near the abbey, Maria expresses her regret to leave the beautiful hills. She returns to the abbey after the gates are locked; the next day, the Mother Abbess and some of the other nuns consider what to do about her. Maria explains that she was raised on that mountain and apologizes for singing in the abbey garden without permission. The Mother Abbess joins her in song - My Favorite Things, but later tells Maria that she should spend some time outside the abbey to help her decide whether she is ready for the monastic life. The seven children of widower Captain Georg von Trapp need a governess, and Maria will act as their governess until September.
