Songs for the Christmas Season 4

Not all Christmas/seasonal music has to be uptempo and exciting. Some of it is downright depressing and I don't like those at all. But there are some songs that are really mellow and reflective and I enjoy those very much. Here are two of my favorites.

First, we have Glen Campbell with "Christmas is for Children" from his very mellow X-mas album of 1968. The title may be misleading as at the end he concludes that "aren't we all children, Christmas Day."






Next is a not-so-Christmas song but definitely a favorite around this time of year. It's John Denver singing about the winter beauty, peace & smiling faces of "Aspenglow" from 1975.

Songs for the Thanksgiving Season 2

So I sidetracked a bit and didn't get to my daily postings of 'thankful' songs. So here are a few a couple days before Thanksgiving.

First up we have John Denver thanking God he's a country boy (which I don't think he really was. Mountain man maybe. Oh well, it's all just semantics).





And next we have Neil Diamond being thankful for the night.
