Anything by Nat King Cole or Johnny Mathis takes me back.

Johnny Mathis' Christmas album is one of my favorites. Must be from the 60s.

"Your my Christmas Present" it is on a CD called Street Carols and the first time I heard it was on the John Tesh show.

Also "Preacher said last Sunday".... by Alabama. Last year I used the lines from this song as my sig and I got poofed.

 On this day of days,Baby,you're my Christmas present,my Christmas past,my Christmas always. So romantic!!

 Just a holiday FYI ---

         Watched the an older annual MormonTabernacle Christmas Special on PBS last night.  Supposed to be several showings of 2023 special this week. 

         Talk about holiday music...beautiful, spiritual, memories and I teared up through out!

Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. I like it but it certainly gives a melancholy feeling.

@YellowLabMom : When I hear or think of Old Lang Syne I think of my Mom. Daddy was a fireman and often had to work New Year's Eve. I was allowed to stay up and watch Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians play that as the ball dropped.

For me, I always feel nostalgic and tear up when ever and where ever I hear, "I'll Be Home For Christmas".

So many in my family are gone and I am so far from my home and city.

How about you, do you also react with such memories?

@Flatbush  that's mine too !  I just heard it yesterday in the car and turned it off .  Can't bear to hear those sad songs at Christmas time .  I lived away from home for many years and missed my family so much .  Moved back several years ago , but many family members had passed .  I enjoy happy Christmas music like Jingle Bell Rock  for instance , one of my favorites!

Pretty Paper - Roy Orbison - never fails to get me depressed.

And I hate to admit that song, "The Christmas Shoes" gets me every time.

I watch the Rob Lowe movie every year at Christmas and ugly cry like a baby 😭

Vince Gill wrote "It Won't Be the Same This Year" after his brother passed away.  Everyone can relate to the beautiful lyrics.  Grab a tissue!

@LAPG  totally agree!
