(Emily wrote) My favorite christmas songs are the originals from the john denver and the muppets christmas together album. don't laugh! they're beautiful and tender: "when the river meets the sea", "the peace carol", "it's in every one of us", etc.

//HOW could I have forgotten?! Yes, indeed, these songs are gorgeous! SO peaceful (but then, it doesn't seem that everyone desires that! )

Had to laugh at SeanM's recollection of hearing Motown C-mas music "over and over again!" I reckon' my kids would have similar sentiments, but it would be about the Ruth Lyons and Doris Day Christmas albums! There is usually a collective g-r-o-a-n when I get out my holiday music!! I'm trying to move on to some CD's with piano, harp, and oboe renditions, but I sure do love my old timers!
