Christmas Tradition

Songs for Christmas that We All Love

Andy WilliamsWhen I think back on Christmas tradition as a child, it is hard to discount the role that Christmas songs played.

Certain Christmas songs bring back the memories more than anything else.  

I'm sure you have some Christmas music that is more special than others too?

As a child I can distinctly remember laying on my back staring up at the Christmas tree, in my pajamas. Nearby, the fireplace ... beautiful and mesmerizing and in the background ... The Andy Williams Christmas Album!

Christmas Music is Special

Merry Christmas Songs Chet AtkinsMy parents had three vinyl records that we must have literally worn out.  I loved listening to them.  They were The Andy Williams Christmas Album, Christmas with Chet Atkins and The Gene Autry Christmas album.

As an adult, I spent several years looking those three. 

Before the Internet, it was hard finding old Christmas albums. We are spoiled now with sites like Itunes.com.

While researching for this web page,  I did find a gem of a site though. It has every Christmas song that you can imagine ... free.

Eventually I found them.  I actually found Andy Williams first. It was in a bargain Christmas cassette bin at Sears.

Songs for Christmas Gene AutryI found it just before a long drive home for Christmas from Texas to Oregon.  That was a great memory in and of itself. Driving through the snowy Rocky Mountains listening to Christmas songs from my childhood...what fun!



Christmas Music Traditions

Eventually I found all of these on CD or Itunes.  We get them out every year.  My oldest son is only 18, but I'll be curious to see if he and the other kids seek out certain Christmas music from their youth.

One of my earliest Christmas recollections is that of our aluminum Christmas tree. It looked very close to the picture included here.

It came complete ...
