There is something about the mention of bells and mistletoe, and of sleigh rides in white snow, that makes me so nostalgic. Especially when it is being sung in dulcet tones.
You must admit, there is a magical quality that surrounds Christmas, and it is this quality that makes me love it so.
I like to honour that feeling all year round, by singing Christmas songs while I peel the potatoes for dinner... happily humming along to the trilling of Bing Crosby or the lulls and melodies of Judy Garland.
SOME OF MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONGS:
“Cause I’d trim trees, and deck the hallways
If I knew you’d be mine, for always.”
“...and wish on a silver star...”
“Cause no matter how far away you roam,
when you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze,
for the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home.”
“There’s nothing sweeter and finer,
When it’s nice and cold I can hold,
my baby closer to me...”
