Hello Vee and Everyone,

I didn't want to open up an entirely new topic so I'm bummin' space off Vee's topic about music. My question about music is 'What is your favorite Christmas CD, LP, or whatever? Do you enjoy more traditional Christmas music (as I do), or do you prefer the newer, more modern offerings? My all-time favorite Christmas album/artist has to be the late-great Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. I get all lumpy throated as soon as I hear "Chestnuts roasting on a open fire...". I also enjoy some of the more contemporary instrumental CDs by artists such as Manhatten Steamroller, etc. her is my top five favorite Christmas songs:

(1.) The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

(2.) I'll be home for Christmas - Elvis Presley

(3.) Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies - from 'The Nutcracker by Peter I can't spell his Russian last name

(4.) White Christmas - Bing Crosby (who else??!!)

(5.) Have a Holly-Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
