When you think of Christmas what song comes to mind?

I seem to listen to Jazz during this holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong etc…..

🙂 I love Jazz

Right now I’m reminiscing about a time when I went to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, it was so much fun!

Also, my parents used to play the Elvis Christmas album all the time growing up.

“Mary” may be more of an Easter song than a Christmas song, but it comes to mind.

      I almost posted Pentatonix doing The Little Drummer Boy. I like them the way I liked the Bee Gees in the seventies. Can’t deny the talent, but the pop appeal is a little embarrassing.
      
      Oh … what the hell …

Remember when Olivia Newton John was 17 years old?

No, neither do I, but here she is as a teenager singing a cheesy Australian song “Christmas Time Down Under”, about how christmas happens during summer in the southern hemisphere.

  Hi Leanne, so to do an embedded link, just copy everything from the URL, that’s how it was explained to me, hope that helps. Thanks for the nice song!

I’m a sucker for nostalgic jazz Christmas carols. Cole Porter (found nothing good on youtube) and Sinatra.

    I first heard Amy Grant sing this song, and I still like her version, but Natalie’s recording is the earliest, I think.

  You scared me! I had to check and make sure Naomi was still with us. I actually saw the Farewell Concert those many years ago. “Grandpa” is probably my favorite Judds song.

    She’s alive and well but doesn’t record much anymore. I also like Wynonna solo, but the duo was incomparable. I never saw them in concert, but I have seen Wynonna. Mom was hotter!

This is totally a Christmas music day. The tree, which we cut down at one of the local Christmas tree farms on the weekend, is now decorated — and tonight we are going to see LeAnn Rimes’s Christmas show.

  Wonderful show. Her encore song was a tribute to John Lennon, but I can’t find a version of her singing “This is Christmas” — so this is the original version:
  
  John Lennon “This is Christmas”
