This is what my Dad would put on Christmas morning and all us kids knew we could then come downstairs and begin the ritual of getting ready to unwrap our gifts from each other... (fixing cocoa, having sweet rolls, etc...)

(It was either The Ventures Christmas or Elvis Christmas morning!)

*These are engrained in my brain. In fact, I stayed with my parents last year - and asked my 80 year old father to wake me up this way X-Mas morning, to "be a kid again". And he did. He is so SWEET!!!!!!!! I am so lucky to still have both my parents.

But once it starts on the radio, people know it's christmas

I just found O Holy Night sung by Michael Crawford (played the Phantom on Broadway Phantom of the Opera). An amazing song. I'd post a link but haven't figured out how to do that yet.

OOOOoooooooohhhhhhhhh .... the weather outside is frightful ... but the fire is so delightful .... as long as She loves me so ....

Let it snow! Let it Snow! Let it (you guessed it) SNOW!
