Why I love Christmas



The always exquisitely blue Bessie Smith.



And another legend reminds us Christmas has a melancholy side as well.



I'm getting carried away, it's 17 degrees here this morning. Not that I need an excuse. :)
 


Not very sentimental. :)



And less sentimental. :)
 
Excellent.
 


Some Christmas fun.
 




We're all broke after Christmas. (sorry, couldn't help myself)

Sandy wasn't a rock voice. She came from the folk revival. Very much a superb voice. So sweet.

Annie is still singing. Maddy also.

Ever so sweet.

Irving Berlin despised the next version, did everything he could to prevent its release. Link Bing before him, Elvis turned this into one of his biggest hits.



I'd like to hear Disturbed do a cover of this, and I'd listen for the sound of Irving rolling over in his grave. :)
 


And the best for last



Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!
