CHRISTMAS- part ten


oh it's just not christmas without a little PERRY COMO in my life!

well you see- my parents are old fogies (hi mom and dad i love you!) and they grew up to music that most kids my age grandparents' listened to! perry como, being one of them.

so some of my most favorite memories come from the quiet nights just before bedtime when the 5 deming brats would turn off all the lights, except for the ones on the tree and dance around to perry como's christmas album as the fire in the fireplace died.

oh how i loved listening to him croon my silent night away and march as he ra pum pa pum pummed me into acting like the little drummer boy. with the tree glistening from all the tinsel dad insisted be on the tree, we would be whisked away to merry christmas land via mr. como!

here's just a small sampling of my childhood and i can't get enough of how perry breaks when he sings the last "soon it will be christmas DAY"

listen for it- AWESOME!!!

In my opinion, Perry Como is the King of Christmas. Oh, sure, I enjoy Bing and Frank and all the others, but nothing beats Perry crooning away.
