So you are a 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' fan, eh JK? I can't say I blame you as its a classic Christmas record and one of Mariah's finest. I also agree with you about her vocal style. The woman can obviously sing and has a good range but very often she puts nothing of herself into her performance. Most of her records sound like 'production line' hits and that's such a shame because she can sing - unlike a lot of top stars who have to be multi-tracked goodness knows how many times.

Good to hear that you are not all 'humbug' as well Hedda! Christmas is how we make it ourselves and the trick to having a great one is to think of how you can make someone else's Christmas special. I am ALWAYS being told that I am self-absorbed and I can't deny the charge but everyone knows that I am Mr. Christmas and can be relied upon to think of THEM at that time of year at least! (lol)

You should read a few more entries on my Blog. Nostalgic it is, head in the clouds - definitely but I always end up with a silly smile all over my face at Christmas so I must be doing something right![/quote]

happy hedda	oh honey aren't you wonderful! that must be it..isn't Bing so wonderfully smooth?. Although it sounds like a 30 year old woman singing with him. actually I do like an American / Norman Rockwell Christmas.
honey!oh sugar sugar.	hedda wrote: I'm not entirely a Scrooge...there was a great song I heard once and do you think I can find it again? It was a kid singing with Bing Crosby ( I like Bing)...'I wanna take a ride with Santa Claus"...Even my friend who lives in Ohio and was Bing's cousin cannot recall the song. perhaps it's awful as I only heard it once but now it's an obsession Is this it?.....
