My Favorite Chritmas Songs


Well, that last post was rather unexpected. Here's something a little more light hearted.

So, here's a list of my Top 10 Christmas songs. Some are version specific, some are not.
10. Hark the Herald Angel sings
9. Baby, it's cold outside- Brian Setzer and Ann Margret
8. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas- Burl Ives
7. Do they know it's Christmas?- BandAid
6. Santa Claus is back in town- Elvis Presley
5. Skating-The Vince Guaraldi Trio (A Charlie Brown Christmas)
4. Christmas time is here-The Vince Guaraldi Trio (A Charlie Brown Christmas)
3. The Man with the Bag- The Brian Setzer Orchestra
2. O Holy Night
1. Little Drummer Boy (Any version, but I'm partial to Bing Crosby and Bob Seeger)

I've been talking about crying a bit lately. I'm kind of a softy, I guess. The first time I hear "Drummer Boy" every year will absolutely cause me to break down. I usually schedule a time, but I've had to pull the car over in years past. I think this has something to do with memories of my Grannie, who died when I was still pretty young. Coupled with the wonderful story of offering what you have, and the worth being in the giving and not the gift, it is a moving and "religious" experience every year.

And that's enough for now.

Come on man. No Connick? His take on "Let it Snow" is outstanding.

I think there may have been a "los" sighting at the Mission Inn, if I have my stories straight.

by the way, "sliegh ride" wasn't in that list was it?
