What's your favorite Christmas song?
My all time favorite is Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley and next would have to be "I'll Be Home for Christmas". I have always worked far away from my parents and onlt got to visit certain times. Christmas was always one of those times. I worked in a factory for eighteen years before I was a nurse. They would pipe the music in and man o man!!!!!! i couldn't hardly wait for the end of the day at Christmas Holiday. I stayed so homesick all the time. The only year I was ever away from my parents at Christmas ****il they passed) was one year I was living in Abilene Texas and didn't have the money to get home. I was a newly wed living near an army base. My parents sent a big care package and called on Christmas. We had two phones in that little three room apartment and we each had a phone. We talked and cryed for what seemed like hours. I resolved right then to NEVER miss being away from home again in my life and I didn't until they were both gone. Speaking of songs, have you every heard, It's Christmas Time. pretty baby then it says something like "and Santa Claus is a comin in a big black cadillac." That is also on Elvis Christmas album and is one of those blusey woosy songs that only he cold sing and do justice. Can ya tell I am a huge Elvis fan".
My fave is not a traditional one but I love the song by Vince Vance and the Valiants, "All I want for Christmas is You":
Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on strings
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't wanna a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
Cause all I want for Christmas is you (repeat twice)
Hugs,
