December 4: Favorite Christmas Song
It changes. This year it's "Christmas Holiday." There's an urgency, an eager anticipation that really appeals to me this year.
"Yuletide! Good cheer! Christmas is here!"
While the song may change year-to-year, my favorite holiday artist never does. Andy Williams. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, I want to hear Andy Williams every day.
When I was a kid, I fantasized like mad about spending Christmas with Andy as his family. I knew them from his annual holiday show: they were a big clan, they sang, they never fought. Of course, in 1976 the ex-Mrs. Williams shot her lover, so I guess no one is as they seem.

I loved his specials. And I love listening to him, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've listened to Andy Williams, but I don't remember ever seeing one of his Christmas specials. Which is strange.
