As far as fifties era "swingy" Christmas songs, I love "The Man with the Bag," by Kay Starr. It reminds me of my Mom dancing around the kitchen on Christmas Eve. While I shucked clams lol.

I can't say I really remember that one. It must have been waaay before my time. whistle Sounds so 50s though. I DO remember Kay Starr. Oh, and speaking of way back when, what about "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus?" AND trivia question, who had the hit on it? (I don't remember) Though I LOVE John Mellenkamp's version. smile

Don't know if this is only popular here in CA, or if it's fairly new, because I don't remember my girls learning it in school. However, my grandkids had it in their Christmas program last week and have the last few years. It's called "Santa's Going Hollywood." lol

This is NOT a video from my grandkids. I just found it on-line.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Just popping in to drop off a couple of musical gifts. One is the sequel to "Santa Baby," which I didn't know existed until recently. It's not bad:

Thought I would resurrect this thread as we approach Christmas. I wanted to add this clip by the late great Whitney to my list. It's "I Love The Lord" and "Joy To The World" from "The Preacher's Wife". Definitely Whitney at her peak.



This is a longer version of "Joy To The World" and it's just fantastic. Very uplifting.

Whitney really had a nice voice. Too bad how her life ended going downhill. frown

I also like Miriah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

I've mentioned before that as a child, I always watched The King Family holiday specials. On their Christmas special, one of the moms sang "I'll Be Home For Christmas" to her son's picture. He was in the army, presumably deployed to Viet Nam. Halfway through her song, he surprised her by walking onstage. I was six years old when it first aired, and didn't understand the concept of reruns, so my best friend Kathleen and I would faithfully watch it year after year to see if they allowed him to come home again!

After years of looking, I finally found a clip. To this day, this song moves me to tears like no other.

Jingle Bell Rock sung by Bobby Helms, All I want for Christmas is You by Vince Vaughn and the Valiants, and SNL's Christmastime for the Jews.

Of course, I like most of the traditional Christmastime songs among which my favorite is Joy to the World.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Holly Jolly Christmas capture the festive spirit of the holiday. Of the classics I think Silent Night and O Holy Night are beautiful carols.

A more recent Christmas song,which is a little off-beat, but I still enjoy is Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun.

Three outstanding selections. Lennon's carol is a Christmas classic. It's one of a few Christmas songs I play throughout the year.
