Favorite Christmas songs

[Widder, SASS #59054]

I have many.

"An Old Christmas Card" by Jim Reeves is one of them.

Noel, Noel  is another.

 

But one of my favorites comes from a video that I really enjoy.   Apparently, this story (song) holds some truth and information

about this event can be found on the internet or Google.

 

Hope Y'all in enjoy..........

 

..........Widder. (Merry Christmas from the Widder family)

The traditionalist in me likes “Joy to the World” and “Away in a Manger” and such.

 

The celebratory me likes “White Christmas” and “Deck the Halls” and the fun songs.

 

The contrarian in me always goes to “A Christmas Song” by Jethro Tull. 

 

 

And then there’s…

 

With all the commercialism and stuff, this puts things into perspective!

 

Merry Christmas, Widder!  And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to ally’all!!

My all time favorite 

 

 

[Tell Sackett SASS 18436]

Ok, here’s an odd thing. I’m a non religious guy, but I’m sick and tired of secular Christmas songs!! I want to hear Christmas carols!

Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, etc., have nothing to do with Christmas.

My personal favorite: O Holy Night!

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

White Christmas by Bing Crosby.

I have always wished my Grandmother had lived long enough to hear "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"      She was a feisty little women who would have loved it as much and much as I think of her when I hear it,       GW

Ditto!  Although in small quantities they're tolerable.

Carol of the Bells is pretty good and could be quasi-religious with the English lyrics telling of spreading good news "to one and all."  Melody taken from a Ukrainian New Years song, itself based on much older folk music, perhaps from before the introduction of Christianity,  about a prosperous New Year. 

 

 

I also like Silver Bells, I think just because it's nice to dance to.  I'll add Good King Wenceslas, which is a Stephensmas song, not a Christmas carol. 

 

Deck the Halls is another New Years song,  quite festive.  I can't find the version I really like, arranged as if set in a pub, with fiddle,  concertina, pennywhistle, and bodhrán.  But here is a nice video with,  supposedly,  the original Welsh lyrics.

I’ll point out here that we had the Model T and Model A Roadster Pickups back into the early 1900s!

 

These were pickup trucks, (Utes to you inverted folks) built by the factory on the automobile platforms of the day!
 

1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup 

 

1927 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup 
 

 

This was back when Ford made good stuff!!

I like many Christmas songs performed by many different musicians and singers. It’s easier to list the ones I do not like, but that’s not what this threads about. 
 

Merry Christmas Everybody!
