It is now officially nostalgic Christmas time for me! Here is yet one more Christmas memory that really tugs at my heart strings, and I found this on YouTube. Here is my Aunt Carol (at the time Carol Richards) with Bing Crosby singing Silver Bells. Aunt Carol died in 2007, makes this all the more special to me to have found this on YouTube, knowing that people still listen to her.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Cathy, it is very precious to me, I lived with my aunt and uncle for a time, so I have lots of memories. And Christmas isn't complete until I hear this song. I lost my Bing CD :(. I was very happy to find it on YouTube though!
Jason, one time I was showing a house to some guys, this came on the radio, I mentioned it was my aunt, and HE KNEW HER! He worked with her in Hollywood, can you imagine?
Shel, thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too!
Claudette, she had a beautiful voice, that's for sure. Very very talented.

How fun! Your Aunt Carol had a lovely voice! Did you know Bing Crosby had a summer house here on Hayden Lake? It is now owned by his estate and rented out by the week. It looks frozen in time, very 60's. It is easy to visualize him there.

Andrea such a great song and to know that your Aunt recorded it with Bing Crosby. Are there any other secrets in those closets of yours? Is your Russian husband maybe a descendant of the Romanov's? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi Hannah, glad I could bring you those memories! I love all those movies, and this song is one of my favorites! And you have a wonderful holiday too, Merry Christmas!
Margaret, I was going to use that one, but the quality of the song itself was not as clear. I did like that one better though!
Rita, how sweet you are, thank you! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Janna, that I didn't know. My aunt was friends with him, I remember his son stayed with us for a few weeks, but he was in his 30's at the time. That is too cool, go get pictures for us, LOL.
Gary, well thank you. It really just makes Christmas complete and yet makes me a bit on the misty eyed side every time I hear the song.
Ed, of course I have more secrets, LOL. He is not from the Romanov family, but he is from a very famous ballet family! And thank you.
Matt, glad you enjoyed the song. Nope, you can't get much more Christmas than that!
Anna, she did have a beautiful voice, thank you. I am happy to hear that it is one of you favorites! Merry Christmas!

George, she was the singing voice over for Syd Charisse and Vera Ellen in a few movies and was on The Lucy Show, and who knows what else I have forgotten. She was always singing and humming her way through life!
Hi Liz, well, glad I amaze you! (I think, LOL) Merry Christmas!
