| Here comes Santa Claus |
Christmas Eve means something different for each of us. For some of us, it is a day of gathering family together. And last minute preparations; shopping, baking, and gift-wrapping after getting excited children tucked into bed.
For some of us, it is just another day. Many careers are in the helping professions and people are scheduled to work on Christmas Eve (if that is you, we thank you). Maybe some of us don't celebrate Christmas and never have. Perhaps the kids have flown the nest and Christmas isn't as exciting as it once was.
There are literally millions of ways to experience Christmas Eve. No matter how differently we celebrate this day the one thing we often have in common is the music. We have a favorite Christmas classic - that song that brings us good memories. We can all sing along, and sing together, the most familiar of the holiday songs. There are songs that bring us to tears and others that make us laugh.
This video compilation of Christmas songs is the perfect background music for the day. I was fortunate to stumble upon it during a search for something else. I am enjoying the 3 hours of music and accompanying background visuals that change with each song. It is playing on my Roku TV as I write this (By the way, Here Comes Santa Claus by Elvis is at 1:19:04).
Personally, I love the story that Santa Claus circles the globe with his sleigh and flying reindeer. The mystery and magic of "here comes Santa" is such a fun thing.
This is Christmas Eve. And whatever that means to you the Review This writers wish you the very best version of Christmas Eve possible.

What a special welcome to Christmas Eve and what it may mean to each of us. Lovely thoughts, Dawn, and, yes, music is always a special part of the day and the season. Thanks for sharing..... and Happy Holidays to you and to all of us here at Review This.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas music. We have been listening to the local radio station and their Christmas music selections for weeks now. Thank you for sharing an alternative selection for us. I must admit, it is time for a change for us. I can hear Elvis now with his fabulously unique "Here comes Santa Claus" rendition in my mind now. Merry Christmas Dawn Rae!
ReplyDeleteI do love the feeling of Christmas Eve, it's such a calming day and evening. I miss it already. Even we tracked Santa here :)
