why we love those old Christmas songs...

[chanteuseCarey]

because the orchestrations (at least most) are usually really great, and they are just so much FUN to sing!

Was just listening and singing along to O Holy Night as sung by Il Divo, and I love hitting that high note- albeit its a little bit of a vocal stretch for me, but yeah I can still nail it!

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all here.

Now go dig out those Christmas song records/CDs/ancient cassette tapes whatever you got, and enjoy them!

I just bought two Xmas compilations: Rosemary Clooney, and Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters. NOW it feels darned Xmasy around here!

Why do I love those old Christmas songs?

1. I love the message.

2. I sang them in school programs before they became un-PC.

3. I really like Bing Croby's voice!
