Reminds me of more innocent times.  I can dream all I want but it ain't happening here.  I heard it got down to a tad under 6° C [42° F] in Korat yesterday morning.  15° was enough for me here.

As for contemporary Christmas music this one is one of the tops.

My daughter has been singing this since she was two-years-old.  The story goes that people had chipped in back in '53 and actually bought a hippo for the then 13-year-old Gayla Peevey.

One more for the little tykes.  A classic 1966 Dr. Seuss song.
