A Sense of Christmas

the yuletide came in the voice of crooners Please Come Home- I’ll Be Home- Santa Claus, Santa Claus- which placed me directly in front of a speaker the RCA Victor phonograph with the stylus needle that every year kept joyously repeating itself and like herald angels from the kitchen butter infused cakes and pies carol our nanna's psalm taste good raw taste good cooked demanding we lick the spoons

Some of my best and brightest memories are carried on the backs of carols. Well written.

Artistically speaking I would say poetry and song are separate but deep in my soul they are one. Thanks for the input..............peace!

If it were not for Christmas, when would we play those songs? Nicely written, Richard.

Barry you are so right. Music is as much a part of Christmas as Santa and the tree. Happy New Year.

Andrea it took me awhile to figure out how to turn an mp4 into an mp3 but I did it. Happy New Year.

This is a very Christmassy memory, Richard. Incidentally, I've still got one of those stylus needle phonographs, given to me by an old friend. Hope you had a lovely Christmas; wishing you all the best for 2018 // paul

In my parents house you could hear Christmas, taste Christmas, smell Christmas, see Christmas but it always began with the music. Oh that music. Merry Christmas Jan....................peace!
