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!!!!

A VERY SENIOR CHRISTMAS

THOSE GREAT CHRISTMAS TV SPECIALS!

I don't really know which was the very first Christmas TV special but, as far as I can remember, the first one I saw was "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol".     Ever since then, there have been hundreds of them through the years, but only a few have become classics and of those, I have just a chosen few which I never tire of watching during the holidays . 

These are my favorite Christmas TV Specials, in chronological order: 

MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (1962)

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (1964)

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (1965)

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (1966)

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN  (1969)

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN (1970)

A PINK CHRISTMAS (1978) 

 

BUGS BUNNY'S LOONEY CHRISTMAS TALES (1979)

MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL  (1983)

 Other Christmas favorite viewing treats are the hundreds of Yuletide cartoons and shorts that are featured on every TV channel, streaming service and internet pages and which are easily accessed today by anyone.

I will list a few of these in one of my next blog entries.
