Replying to Joseph Valerio

By far my favorite is Vince Guaraldi's 'Charlie Brown Christmas' album. Parents played it every snowy Christmas morning as we sipped our hot cocoa and opened gifts at home. Now it is a staple in my holiday soundtrack. Always warms my heart to hear it. 

Adding to my adoration, the soundtrack has legend attached. Apparently, producer Lee Mendelson was creating a documentary about Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Shulz when he heard a song on the radio that really moved him. He immediately called up a local jazz critic who by happenstance was having lunch with Guaraldi the very next day. The two were introduced and the rest is history!

What a great story - I had no idea! Thanks for sharing it, @Joseph Valerio, and for the heartwarming memories. I love how music transports us. 

Ok, I know you all aren't shy...I'll get us kicked off...

This year, I've been enjoying Brett Eldredge. He's a country artist but quite the contemporary crooner when it comes to his Christmas playlist. And I've always loved Garth Brook's "The Gift" (Maria's song) but, alas, he's not on Spotify and I lost the CD two moves ago. 

But let me share my favorite Christmas tradition - my daughter, singing O Holy Night. Forgive my living room acoustics as she agreed to let us record her this past weekend while I kept her 3-year-old busy downstairs! Lauren grew up with an audiophile for a father, @Gary Matthews, and me, who adapted to being part of the stage crew (and proud stage Mom). One of her favorite Christmas gifts was an autographed Sarah McLachlan microphone, if that tells you anything! 

Lauren's O Holy Night

I hope you enjoy it. Please share your favorite artist, song, or original performance with us!

Thanks, @Monisha Devaiah, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and will certainly pass along your kind words. Wishing you a beautiful holiday as well - Cheers to '24!
