Christmas greetings! For the month of December, I plan to share a Christmas song each day with the hope of adding a little extra cheer to your holiday. Part of my challenge in this series is to bring to you a new-to-me song or artist discoveries. There’s no telling what song pick I’ll go with but you’ll find artists from all genres celebrating in song this almost magical, holy season.
I was doing so well with keeping up how I came up on my song picks but somehow today’s choice I lost along the way. No doubt this one fell into the ‘forgotten’ category but I definitely remember the song as soon as I heard it. I can’t say which old artist introduced the tune to my ears as a kid. The song got its start on Broadway in the musical Mame (1966) with Angela Lansbury first performed it. Let’s give it up for Mitzi Gaynor singing We Need a Little Christmas!
There are 80+ covers of this classic. In recent history, Kimberley Locke (2008 #19), the Glee cast* (2010-11 #15), and Pentatonix (2020 #14) covers hit the US Adult Contemporary chart. *Also charted #15 Canada AC Billboard and #16 US Holiday Songs Billboard.
Don’t even worry with leaving a comment. This is for your enjoyment. There’s no worries or fuss or strings attached. Simply a moment for you to unwind and refresh your mind and body. 😉
I’m running behind on publishing the winner in my last BOTB. It’s forth coming but it’ll probably be next week before I can get to that announcement. Meanwhile, I’ll be back tomorrow with bells on with another Christmas song to start your day. Take it easy and don’t let the hustle of the holiday drive you out of your mind. The festivities are beautiful and fun but the true reason warms the heart better than these earthly things. Take time to bask in God’s great love. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
