My most favorite song is for the season. I’m thankful I’m still alive, and thankful for the love I have and have had.  

 

Love this one. It's part of a Thanksgiving playlist I play while I'm cooking that day

[AC Benus]

I recommend this entire album, but this song spectacular. Billy Gilman sings "There's a New Kid in Town"

A Mad Russian’s Christmas is one of my favourite TSO songs. And thanks @BHopper2 for ‘reminding’ me that I have the TSO Christmas album as a playlist.

I'll add my favorite Danish Christmas hymn - it's also sung in Sweden and Norway, making it a proper Scandinavian Christmas song.

 

Also my favorite julesang (xmas song) for dancing around the juletræ (tree) on Juleaften (Christmas Eve).

 

 

@ColumbusGuy if you ever get to Christmas in your Jay and Miles story, these may come in handy.

 Wha.... who is this?  Why have they not been in my life before now?

@BHopper2 I think I’m developing a full on man-crush

Another favorite of mine

This choice makes me think of the Dr. Demento holiday album, and this gem. "I'm gettin' nuttin for Christmas"

These both play on the best part of Christmas. The magic, wonder and innocence.

Thanks, JP!! I don't know if you have ever heard it, but Mozart's dance was probably a loving tribute to his father. Leopold wrote a great tone poem, called "A Musical Sleigh Ride" when Wolfie was a boy. Here it is

Oh Moggy! I hope those are true native Americans singing. This is bordering on cultural misappropriation.

LOL, Thanks.

TSO is a traveling orchestra here in the States. Every so often some of the musicians will switch out with local artists. Not sure if they've been in other parts of the world, but I guess they have. Been around for several years.

 

A few of their full-length shows can be found on YouTube as well, and I highly suggest if you have a couple of hours, to sit and watch it. It's fantastic. I've known a couple of people who've seen them live, and they raved the performance.

Ok, background on heritage. I’m mostly Italian. While some Italians might be offended, this played every year at Christmas dinner.

Oh honey, there's nothing like laughing with family and friends around the dinner table during the holidays. And seriously? How can anyone be offended by Dominick, he's a hoot!
