My All Time Christmas Song

Being raised in a fanatical religious cult I never experienced Christmas as a kid..My late wife was a Classical Pianist & my first real Christmas was together with her family.. The first song she played that Christmas Eve while we all trimmed the tree was Silent Night..Any version brings me to my knees me today..

So glad you have this memory.

I always liked several pieces from "The Nutcracker", especially "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" It has a magical sense of sound IMO. But the Ballet as a whole has that sense of wonder & Awe. Maybe its a leftover from my childhood when it was a big part of Christmas in the area I lived and TV commercials. Then there’s Handel’s "Messiah" and the "Hallelujah Chorus". Though written more for Easter, its still appropriate IMO. Funny thing is that it was in my record collection with Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, Mountain, Zeppelin et al even while I was an atheist. I just liked the music.
