Let It Be Christmas!

It’s December 1 and I think the time has come.

Let It Be Christmas!

We’ll start it all out today with a few “novelty” songs and end with two beautiful Christmas country music tunes.
As Christmas Day approaches, the emphasis will gradually be on the more traditional and timeless classics, but for now, I’m hoping today’s choices put a Christmas smile on your face!

Burl Ives – Bobby Helms – Dion – Johnny Mathis

    Merry Christmas, Ray. What a nice, “official “ start to the season. When you said “novelty” i cringed because I thought of that terrible Italian donkey song. I can’t stand that song. Thankfully I was spared today. I have a feeling my relief will be short lived. I hope I am wrong. All familiar favorites today. Nowadays every singer puts out a Christmas album, a lot of them a just trite clunkers but some are real gems. I am thinking of Kelly Clarkson when I mention gems. The clunkers, well you can figure them out for yourself. It ain’t hard. Thank you Ray for a nice start to a magical season.

      Please rest assured, Don, that the donkey will not be appearing at any time this season.There are limits and that song breaks them, as does “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”.
      Thank you for the kind words on today’s opening salvo.
      ROCK ON, SANTA DON!

    You had me right off the bat with Burl Ives, and Bobby Helms! My heart just soared at that point. I do like the light way that you started this, and I do love all of the traditional Christmas songs. I remember the year that my mom and dad gave three of us older in the family the album by the chipmunks. It was OK but I was a little disturbed. Give me tradition every single time. I’m hoping to hear some Dean Martin, and some Perry Como, and some Bing Crosby. Those are Christmas! Thank you Mr. DJ you did it again. I guess for those of us who just love music this fills a huge desire each day, to hear the melodies that flow from your medleys. Thank you Ray! 🎄❤️

      Thank you, Sandy ❤️
      You can count on hearing Bing (on Friday), Dean and Perry (both on Monday) in the coming days! You also get to hear ME on Friday!
      I have so many traditional songs lined up so keep listening, Ms. Sunshine! 🙂

    So, I always feel like I’m late to the party! I listen just before I head for bed. Thanks for the music of the season! It is a treat to see each night what you have compiled for us!
