What Is Your Favorite Christmas Song?
What Is Your Favorite Christmas Song?
Mine is Silver Bells.
The song brings back the decorated streets of my childhood.
I think, because it tells the story of my childhood Christmases. Walking the streets of downtown Clinton, Iowa, the store windows sparkling with Christmas cheer. The Santa Claus house in front of the city bank. Strings of lights and decorations hanging above the streets. So many cherished memories.
That’s the truly amazing thing about music. One song can instantly take us back to a time and place filled with wonderful memories.
This is my husband’s rendition. He recorded it several years ago and I play it all the time because it brings back such great memories of days gone by.
I would love to know what your favorite Christmas song is. Leave me a comment below!
A song can bring a Christmas back
A familiar song can recall a place and the people who were there. Write down that connection alongside the song title. The video here is part of my own memory; it isn’t an announcement of a new recording or performance.
