Christmas Songs


Sweet One

Recommended Posts

I think I'm closer to Laura's position.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. If I go into a store that happens to be playing it I tend to leave with a slight headache.

Each December, when I hear the first notes of it, I stop and sigh.

It's just a little trite for my tastes.

:lol: :lol: I've worked in department stores and drug stores in the past, so I know how it feels to be listening to the same kind of music (or even same songs!), specially when it's supposed to be all cheesy and cheerful and such...over and over again for several hours at a time!!

i'm not annoyed with Christmas songs, they come but once a year... I'm annoyed with the radio that plays songs that come but once EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY ALL YEAR LONG!!! If I hear Avril Lavigne one more time, I'm going to go Fight Club on the radio stations

I have a 2-CD set of Riga Boys' quoire (sp?) singing carrols...it's really super, and very traditional.

I tried to look up the lyrics of that song but they're hard to find...but i got one here at last. so here goes:

 

The Littlest Angel

as sung by Perry Como - 1962

 

Let me tell you a story that is often told

in the great Celestial hall,

All about an angel just 4 years old,

The Littlest Angel of all.

 

How all day he would play with a little box

that to others had no worth,

Ah, but there were treasures in that little box,

The treasures he'd brought from earth.

 

Just a butterfly with golden wings,

A little piece of a hollow log,

2 shiny stones from a river bank,

and the worn-out strap of his faithful dog.

 

Then the angels all heard that the Holy Child

would be born in Bethlem,

and they all brought presents to the Holy Child

and each gift was a heavely gem.

 

The Littlest Angel gave his little box

with the presents fine and rare,

then the Littlest Angel sat alone and cried,

for his gift was so meager and bare.

 

Just a butterfly with golden wings,

A little piece of a hollow log,

2 shiny stones from a river bank,

and the worn-out strap of his faithful dog.

 

But the Lord chose the gift of the little box

That a child had blessed with love,

and it started glowing that very night,

It became The Star up above.

 

When you see that star as it shines on high,

in the great celestial hall,

You will know the proudest angel in the sky,

is The Littlest Angel of all.

 

With his butterfly with golden wings,

A little piece of a hollow log,

2 shiny stones from a river bank,

and the worn-out strap of his faithful dog.

 

 

(i guess it's not the same unless you hear it sung...and Bing Crosby does as good a job as any! i remember listening to this CD/song while studying for my Physical Chemistry finals a few years ago at the univ!....that song, i'd heard for the first time, and it gave me goosebumps!)

haha, I had this crazy idea... burn it to a CD with some other Christmas songs, and then during Christmas dinner say "hey, lets play some Christmas music" pop the CD in there, and when the song comes on, see how long it takes for them to start noticing it, lol... I can just see their faces... "???? uh... am I hearing this right?"
