Christmas Classics, Bringing Back Warm Memories!

By
Home Stager with Empire Home Staging Solutions

Christmas, has always been my favorite time of year. When I hear some of the old Christmas classic songs being played, I can't help but reminisce about my warm childhood Holiday memories!  Some of my favorite Christmas classics are currently being played everywhere, for the Christmas holiday season!  You can hear them while shopping in department stores, on radio stations, on television and a real sign of the times,..you may have even downloaded some of these Christmas classics onto your Ipod! Thought I would share some of my favorite Christmas song links below, hope you'll enjoy!  Do you have a favorite song that brings back a great Holiday Memory? 

 The Christmas Song, Nat King Cole  The smooth voice of the great, Nat King Cole, reminds me of Christmas' long ago. Listening to this beautiful Christmas song in my childhood home, while starring at the Christmas trees twinkling lights and admiring all of the colorful ornaments!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 White Christmas, Bing Crosby  One of my favorite classic Christmas songs from a classic Christmas movie!  Growing up, I always wished for snow at Christmas because of this song, but unfortunately I lived in an area with moderate temperatures, where this was not very likely to happen!

Holly Jolly Christmas, Burl Ives  Another Holiday classic movie, "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" brought us great Holiday classic songs by Burl Ives, who also narrated this classic film.

 Brenda Lee's classic, "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree", always brought a smile to my face and gave me that happy feeling that makes you want to dance,... and oh yes, I rocked around the Christmas tree I don't know how many times, of course...back in the day!  Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, Brenda Lee

Michelle: Just as you know how to stage a home, you know how to pick music. These are wonderful examples of "way back when" tunes by fabulous singers! I am so glad you included Brenda Lee (you're too young to remember any of these folks, though).

..but where is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?"  LOL

Kat- Glad you enjoyed some of these classic selections.  I was looking for better footage of Brenda Lee and was hoping to find a clip of her singing, but to no avail!  And yes, unfortunately, I am old enough to remember! ;0)

Bo- Thanks for adding the sounds of the crackling static, the memories just wouldn't be the same without including them!  As everyone knows, I love Tony Bennett, and Andy Williams another favorite!  I added a link below for a look back at Andy's Christmas Special!  Thanks for visiting and have a great holiday!

Michelle,  I love all the old Christmas songs and the artists who sang them.  I have the music going as much as possible and never get tired of it.

I don't have a favorite Christmas song, but John Lennon, one of my all-time favorite music personalities, has a song that might again be appropriate: "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." I wish.

Hi Michelle- LOL - You don't look old enough to remember this great music...but I'll bet you heard it a lot growing up.  I love being reminded of "the old days" when I hear the music of my parents day.  I usually don't like music on A|R blogs...unless it's Christmas music, I love this holiday as well :-)  Very nice to meet you!
