Retired Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I can't say I have just one? There are a pot load of Christmas songs I love equally. Usually, we will play them all on the radio during December. One, that many people will not mention is the: "The hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big." It's hilarious.

RBSinTo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Another favorite of mine is the Frank Sinatra rendering of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas". It was played during scenes in the 1963 war film "The Victors" that showed the execution by firing squad of Private Eddie Slovik who was convicted of desertion. A beautiful song that is chilling in the context it was used in the movie. RBSinTo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Platter's tune at the beginning of the Christmas shopping segment where Clark gets all goofy with a cute salesgirl, and a bit of this one when later, he's looking out the kitchen window, fantasizing about the swimming pool he's wanting to get. That's the same salesgirl on the diving board. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, the cat chews through some tree light wire and fries underneath an easy chair. And from another Christmas album fave--- And one I "discovered" one day a few years ago on one of those "college" stations! Long story of how I found the CD....

Retired Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Anyone ever hear Ben Cartwright, ( Lorne Greene) sing, Christmas is a coming and the geese are getting fat? I don't remember the album or the name of that song but it starts out that first verse. My mom played the album every year when I was a kid and it had all the Cartwright's from Bonanza singing Christmas songs. One of my favorites as a kid.

jdgm Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Trouble with Xmas songs is that there are so many cash-ins and most of it is cloyingly sentimental and yucky. BAH! I notice no-one's put up anything off the Dylan Xmas album yet (don't worry there's NO need ). 🦃 Here's an old one...I didn't know they'd made a whole Xmas album too...this is bearable and even good - And here's Miles with Bob Dorough on vocals - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 jdgm, I just gave your recommendation - Mile Davis a listen. Well, the first minute or so. I would rather have a root canal performed by a proctologist than have to listen to the rest. Miles Davis, of course, is a fantastic artist. His 'Summertime', for example. So - I'm not sure where that 'Blue Xmas' came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds as it that'd be scarier than the ghost of Christmases to come! I heard the cast of Bonanza sing. Certain to put anyone off their feed.
