Favorite Holiday Songs

[nabokovfan87]

I have 2 Albums I play for myself every year.  This one is one we had on CD, 2-5 times over. Had it on tape and played it in the old Jeep before life got a bit too hectic.

It'll always remind me of those times and moments with my mom.  Needless to say it's a special song and one I don't think many people have heard so I wanted to share it.
 

From the same album, there is a part of one of the songs that is uniquely special this time of year. I'll post the lyrics below:
 

Quote

Now, Sometimes grownups grow up to believe
That you don't really come on Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true
'Cause I know I've seen you
In the sparking little eyes around the tree

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid inside of me
That still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
The hour has arrived
It's time to play ole Santa Clause tonight

Well, I don't see how anybody could ever doubt
That there's really a Santa Claus.
Especially if they've ever seen a little boy
Who just got his very first bike
Or if they've ever seen a little girl
With her arms wrapped around her baby doll,
So tight, And both of 'em waking up
Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa
Just looking young and lovin' life,
'Cause they know that their grandkids
Are gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy,
They'll be waitin' up to answer ole Santa's call.
"Cause tonight their not worried about paying bills,
Lord they're just lovin' it all

Please feel free to post some of your own favorites. If you happen to feel like posting why, by all means, but I totally understand some memories are your own and very personal 🙂 .

Of course, Vince Guaraldi…

I’ve also enjoyed Sting’s album If On A Winter’s Night…

But one oddball I love is The Trumpet Child by Over the Rhine…

I'm one of those who never heard this and I've been around a few years longer than Alabama...needs to be on the top 100 Christmas Songs!

Yeah, that album especially always gives me the right mindset during this time.  Candle in the window is another personal fav 🙂 .
