Christmas Time Pretty Baby

I Love Christmas! And being the music lover that I am, there's nothing like good ole Christmas music, from traditional carols, to Christmas hymns, and then the more popular pieces. I just can't get enough. I've already gotten my Christmas CD's out (actually did that before Thanksgiving) and am listening religiously to a radio station playing nothing but Christmas music 24/7. So, from now til Christmas, I'm starting a new series. I'm planning to share with y'all some of my favorite Christmas songs. First up in this series are my faves by.... one of my alltime favorite artists...... ELVIS!


While this video presentation leaves a little to be desired, it's the words and their meaning that are really touching...


If Every Day Could Be Just Like Christmas...
What a Wonderful World This Would Be


Now, Santa Claus is Back in Town to bring me lots of presents, cuz I'm always a good girl!


Let's not forget that no Christmas by Elvis collection would be complete without
Blue Christmas so...



Now, it's your turn... what are your favorites?

You're asking me to list my favorites?! Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I have lots and lots and lots of favorite Christmas songs. How much room do I have?

So many of the traditional hymns mean so much to me. I never have a dry eye while singing or listening to them. There are many contemporary songs that mean so much to me, too. Off the top of my head, I can think of Mark Lowry's "Mary, Did You Know" because I can identify with Mary and the overwhelming holy mystery of all that she was experiencing. I also thought of 4Him's "Strange Way to Save the World" because it talks of Joseph's observation of all that was happening around him and to his little family. I like the songs that are easy to identify with (such as these), but I love the hymns for their majesty and holiness. Of course, I like the fun songs, too (some of them, anyway). On a different note, there are some "Christmas songs" that I despise, but I won't go into that here.

By the way, I love Elvis, and you have some great picks here. Thank you!

Art said...

Oh yeah... almost forgot. My favorite Christmas song: "I Am Santa Claus".

Vicki said...

Um, Art. I don't believe I've ever heard that song before.

I am a lover of Christmas music too. I could not begin to list my favorites,I like all of them =)

I listen to a 24/7 Chriatmas music station at work, drives the guys crazy. But I have caught a few of them singling along more than once.
