Post by: Regular on December 07, 2006, 05:18:50 PM: I love it all! My favorite would have to be Bette Midler.

I always wanted to find good Yanni holiday stuff. Could never find any though!

To me it is the "Magical Experience of Christmas" that makes it so appealing.

I'm 60 years old and still remember what Christmas morning felt like when I was 6.

It is a very real experience for me. It is a day to leave dirty reality outside and forget my troubles and enjoy watching my grandkids enjoy what I did when I was thier age.

I've been blessed with good health, a good job, and a wounderfull fiancee' and her kids and grandkids.

I love Christmas, I don't much care for the comercialization of it though.

Post by: Regular on December 08, 2006, 12:24:41 AM: ok ok Best Xmas memory I had was when I was a kid when the Sega Genesis came out.

It was hidden wrapped up in the closet. I use to unwrap it and play Sonic The Hedghog while my parents where not home. I would wrap it back up by time they came home.

:cry

I never turned out right.

If you listen to the radio in your car and/or at home, I can certainly understand that. I don't. I get tired of them too when they are crammed down my throat like that. It is part of the comercialization of Christmas I don't care for.

Christmas carols are great when YOU are involved with them, at least they are for me. Family singing them together... that sort of thing.

Same for me, singing carols is one thing, having them beaten into your skull on the radio or in stores, is another.

Post by: rpm on December 08, 2006, 02:15:07 AM: I used to work where the Muzak changed to Christmas music on Nov 1st. 61 days of the same 20 songs. It was maddening.

My personal favorites include Elvis's Blue Christmas, Bing Crosby's White Christmas, Vince Vance and the Valiants' All I Want For Christmas Is You and just about anything by the Rat Pack.

I'd be climbing the walls, looking for the speaker wire.

Ya I like Bing, Sinatra, stuff like that. My grandmother had an organ that we would sit around and sing White Christmas and others. Great memories of my Nana.
