Songs for the Christmas Season 23

Some winter-themed holiday/seasonal songs today. Both songs are from holiday television specials of the 1960's. I love these old songs because they are so light-hearted in nature and just meant for fun and cheer. First is Andy Williams doing "The Skater's Waltz". I'm not sure if this song has ever been recorded other than for this program so pardon the lo-fi sonics.





Next is one from The Lawrence Welk show and a very pleasant tune at that featuring vocal group The Blenders. This is another number very hard to find unless you have the original Welk record. Watch the video for some cool choreography.

Songs for the Thanksgiving Season (Thanksgiving Day)

Today is Thanksgiving and as we enjoy being with and eating with family & friends, it is inevitable that we start looking forward to Christmas. That being said, here are two final songs for the Thanksgiving season, both of which give thanks for Christmas.

First up is The Lawrence Welk Orchestra with "Thanks For Christmas."







Finally, an oft-overlooked song by The Bee Gees called "Thank You For Christmas."





Starting tomorrow and probably through the end of the year (since once I get into Christmas music it is very hard for me to get out of it) I will post some of my favorite Christmas & seasonal recordings.
