Favorite Holiday Song (s)

I so not listen to Christmas music until long after Thanksgiving. If a song comes on the radio, I change the station ! Why ? I want to enjoy the end of football season and cooking a Thanksgiving feast before I start singing Christmas Carole's. When I am ready, this is my fav of them all. If we could all live this song every day .... oh what a world it would be.

Here is my favorite memory of a Christmas song. I believe that I was in sixth grade. The mandatory holiday concert was upon us and our music teacher chose my friend Ronnie to sing "A Little Gray Donkey"solo.
 His voice was magical ... his expression angelic ... & the effect on me has lasted many, many years.
 Thank you Ronnie !

This is the version of The Little Gray Donkey that Ronnie sang :

The little gray donkey Joseph led, was as tired as he could be
But Mary was riding on his back, so he walked most carefully
At night he dreamed of angel songs, that echoed down the air
And he woke to see the baby Christ and the Sheppard's kneeling there
So reverently he came to rest
And great was his reward
For caring Mary safe he shared the Birthday of our Lord.
