The spirit of Christmas, Ray Charles

This beautiful song (From Christmas Vacation)

embodies all the elements of Christmas. It

makes me smile and cry at the same time 🙂🥲

I couldn't resist "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", by Gayla Peevey. After the song, is an older Gayla singing her song.

Do they know it’s Christmas? BandAid, 1984

This incredible song was to raise awareness for

famine relief. It’s a reminder all these years later

that world hunger still exists. It makes me grateful

that I’ve never had to experience that….

That was an amazing group back in ‘84. 🎶
And yes, a reminder that there is always something to be grateful for - a full refrigerator, a warm shower, a roof over our heads….

A powerful song.

I have always enjoyed Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

Here are my two favorite versions sung by James Taylor and Judy Garland.

Good choices. I love hearing different voices singing the classic Christmas songs.

Not gonna give it away but it makes you

grateful for what you have. Make sure you

have tissues nearby when you listen….

Yes, that’s a beautiful one. I have satellite radio in the car and always love the holiday channels with no commercials to have to deal with while I drive. I’ll switch back and forth from the classic holiday station to the more contemporary one. I remember when I first heard that song how emotional it was. Hard to drive with it on without getting teary eyed.

Anyone remember the King Family sisters?

It wasn’t the holidays without their King Family Christmas specials!
And Andy Williams too!

Community Champion ⭐⭐⭐

I remember those! We looked forward to them every year! 🎄

Does anyone remember Bing Crosby’s 1977 Christmas Special? The one where he and David Bowie sang that ‘Little Drummer Boy’ duet? Forty-eight years later, I clearly remember sitting there with my entire family watching it.

Community Champion ⭐⭐⭐

Yes! That was a unique match up to be sure, and I’m so glad they did I it.

If you do have snow where you live, listen to this during the first snowfall….

Santa Claus is comin’ to town, Springsteen

My son’s fav Christmas song. Always loved

hearing him singing it in the car when he was

little. He’s 30 now and I still think of that cute

little guy belting this out in the backseat 💜🎅🏻

Love hearing other versions of the classic songs. It is special when it has a memory attached. Thanks for posting @BeatleloverKT .
