My All Time Christmas Song


The song that really gets me on Christmas is

“I Believe In Father Christmas”, by Greg Lake of ELP found on ELP’s Works Vol.2 Album.

Absolutely A Classic !

 

My father bought me the album many years ago when I was a junior in high school and still have it in my collection… Since his passing in ‘82 It’s been a tradition of mine of only being taken out of it’s sleeve once a year, being play on Christmas Day… Sounds as good as the day I got it 👍

I always liked several pieces from "The Nutcracker", especially "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" It has a magical sense of sound IMO. But the Ballet as a whole has that sense of wonder & Awe. Maybe its a leftover from my childhood when it was a big part of Christmas in the area I lived and TV commercials. Then there’s Handel’s "Messiah" and the "Hallelujah Chorus". Though written more for Easter, its still appropriate IMO. Funny thing is that it was in my record collection with Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, Mountain, Zeppelin et al even while I was an atheist. I just liked the music.

followed by O Holy NIght

Yes! Both are good but "O Holy Night"  Has a great melody IMO
