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.
Wasn't it Bing Crosby and David Bowie?
It was cool seeing you tonight.
Los
Wow, was there a Platypi sighting at Sandals?
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?
