Not the Chipmunks
Dear Charlie,
Maybe I'll be alternating with Mr Lévêque - there's a challenge! While I thoroughly agree with Marie (see comments below) I still fall for the odd Christmas song (even by Elton John). This one's much older (originally written in 1934), and is sung by the inimitable Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis's comedy partner, great film actor ("Some Came Running"), and Frank Sinatra's friend in the "Rat Pack". Here, though, he's trying to sell records to your grandparents. And it works!

I am internally debating whether or not to withhold my judgement on the songs that have been posted until Xmas and I announce my personal favourite... I guess I will, so what I say will come as a surprise c:
ReplyDeleteOMG one of my favorite christmas songs, I really love Dean Martin christmas songs, I like Andy Williams's too and I really like Brenda Lee's '' Rocking around the christmas tree ''
ReplyDeleteDean Martin does the trick for me, alongside Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby
ReplyDeleteBeverly,thanks for sharing your preferences; I think you should join the musical advent calendar's effort and post the Christmas songs you love by Andy Williams and Brenda Lee;
And Dean is definitely not Alvin
