A fun rock and roll instrumental version of "Jingle Bells" from the duo that had a huge hit with "Sleep Walk" in 1959. This is from 1960.

Rudolph, is my older daughter's favorite of the old TV Christmas specials.  She used to get all teary eyed over the Island of Misfit Toys.    I like all the songs from the show, sung by Burl Ives.     

A lesser-known Christmas song. This was originally recorded by Leon Redbone on his 1988 Christmas album Christmas Island. This version was released in 2019. The Good Lovelies are a Canadian vocal trio from Ontario.

Squirrel Village . . . Cute  animation,  with relaxing music.        

On the subject of squirrels and Christmas, here's a Christmas piece from The Nutty Squirrels, a jazz answer to The Chipmunks. They had a big hit in 1959 with "Uh Oh!".

A bit of an unusual Christmas tune, written by Jackson Browne and originally recorded by him with The Chieftans.

Looks like only the three of us are enjoying all the different styles of Christmas music posted here in the JPOM folder?  Hoping others have tuned in, and have listened to some of the many holiday songs.  I'll be back later this evening, to post one of my favorites.  Wishing a nice Christmas Eve, to everyone who looks in! 

My favorite Christmas song

Another version of that -

Another lesser-known Christmas song, by one of my favorite bands. This was written by Robbie Robertson and recorded in 1977. It has since been covered by many other artists. The Band was a Canadian-American folk rock group that started out as a backing group for Bob Dylan. They had quite a few hits, with their most well-known songs being "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".

BEAUTIFUL fire and Christmas music, RAMMEL.  Thank you so much for sharing this.....so peaceful 🎄

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day with our family.  Dr. Dave's children are older and it is quite different than when they were little, of course❣️ We met Dave's new lady friend and she is delightful.  Thy both seem very happy and very compatible together and we are thrilled🥰🥰

We are relaxing today.....Our San Francisco family are out visiting friends and family today so they dropped Ollie Doodle off so he could spend the day with us🥰🥰 This is his second home and he shows how comfortable he is to be here🎄

I hope each and every one of you had a special time as well🎄

Back to regular music now that Christmas is over. An interesting version of a classic from 1936. This is from the film Rose Marie, an adaptation of the musical of the same name that this song was written for.

Michael, I like all of the songs/duets sung by Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald.  The movies are good, and  highly entertaining even though they were produced in the mid 1930's.  One of why favorite songs is,  "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life At Last I've Found Thee", from the movie Naughty Marietta.  My two other favorites of their movies are Maytime, and New Moon.

So relaxing, and it is still the Christmas season.

I like the music and the beautiful winter scenes - especially the birds.  Calm and peaceful.

Heard this funny song on the local oldies station earlier. Mac Davis was a singer-songwriter who had a big hit in 1972 with "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me". He also wrote "In the Ghetto" (a big hit for Elvis) and "Watching Scotty Grow" (a big hit for Bobby Goldsboro) among others. This was released in 1980 and was a minor hit on the pop chart in the US, but peaked at #10 on the country chart and was also a hit in several other countries.

A great British folk song from 1977. This is a tribute to artist L.S. Lowry, who had died the previous year. If you're not from the UK, you've probably never heard this song (I found it years ago watching clips from Top of the Pops on YouTube).

What is "matchchalk"?

Hi Tome - I was also wondering about that?      Maybe Oldiesmann will return and 'splain it to us?   Good to see you posting here!

Matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs (with lyrics)
It may take a Brit to explain it.  But read the words as it plays - it may help.

Thanks Rammel, but that didn't help. Maybe if I Google it.

commonly called "matchstick men" for their singular narrow vertical forms—rigidly move about their activities, appearing disconnected from each other despite their proximity in crowds and long lines.
