My Christmas Music Playlist Is At Full Throttle Now!

Every year, I like to play my favorite Yuletide music hits at Christmas time!

 Of course to me, the best Christmas music is the one that brings back memories of long ago, when I was a kid waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve. (Yeah, that long ago!)   These are the songs that take me back to those bygone days when the spirit of Christmas was quite different from today,  so you won't find any songs by Michael Bublé, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Bieber or any of the other current pop stars here!

Now This Is What I Call Christmas!!!!

THE IMMORTAL CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!

MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL was first shown on NBC, on December, 1962, starring the voice of Jim Backus as Mr. Magoo

 RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER  was released on NBC on December, 1964

 starring the voice of Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman.
