Gee, where have I been ~
I've never heard "I want a "Hippopotomus for Christmas", nor, "Six White Bloomers" either~ Whaaaaa~ Oh, if not for Pet Talk~
I do know, and , have the Poem "The Blind Men and the Elephant~ ( A Hindoo Fable, by John Godfrey Saxe) I had to memorize it as a fourth grader!!!(glad I don't have to recite it now~
) 8 verses and a moral to the story!!!!
I like sooo many of the Christmas Songs Posted above me~
One that stands out to me now is :
Good King Wences~ ( I listened to The Ames Brothers Version, in the early 60's)
Good King Wences look'd out, On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, Deep and Crisp and Even.
Brightly Shone the Moon that night,
Tho' the Frost was Cru-el,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering Winter fu~el.
Hither Page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st of, telling;
Younder peasant, Who is He?
Where, and, what his dwelling?
"Sire , he lives a Good League hence,
Underneath the Mountain;
Right against the Forest Fence,
By Saint Agnes Foun~tain.
Bring me Flesh and Bring me Wine,
Bring me pine logs hither;
Thou and I shall see him dine,
When we bear them thither.
Page and Monarch forth they went,
Forth they went together;
Thro' the rude wind's wild lament,
And the Bitter Weather~
I also liked "The Ames Brothers" Version of "Go Tell it on the Mountain"
Nat King Cole's ~ The Christmas Story~
