Happy Saturday. Mr. L always teases me because for just about every tune I've ever heard, I have a favorite part. Just a few notes. I grew up in a musical home. My Dad played the trumpet, and my Mother was a HUGE fan of musicals. I knew all the lyrics to Broadway shows such as West Side Story, Carousel, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, and so many more by the time I hit grammar school.
When I was a kid, we only had two Christmas albums. One by Andy Williams and one by the Ray Conniff singers. Is it any wonder that my favorite Christmas song (and 2nd favorite) came from that Ray Conniff album. My absolute FAVORITE Christmas song is Silver Bells. I've heard it from many, many different artists, and no matter who sings it (except for Elvis. *Shudder* I'm NOT an Elvis fa.), I always stop to listen. I should put together a CD of all the various versions I have, I love it so much. (But that would probably drive Mr. L around the bend.)
My second favorite Christmas song was only performed (as far as I've been able to discover) on that same Ray Conniff album. "Christmas Bride." (https://www.youtube.com) I got engaged on Christmas Eve, so that song, which I heard when I was just a little girl, had even more importance when it finally happened.
So, what's your favorite Christmas song?
