Even though it isn't cold enough for me to wear my heavy coat down here at Christmastime, I can't help but feel like Christmas when this song comes on:
The Bell That Couldn't Jingle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Christmas bell was crying, and Santa heard it say
"I just can't seem to jingle—and I can't go on the sleigh."
Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried
The bell that couldn't jingle—it had nothing there inside.
Then Santa said "Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you,
And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle just like you were brand new!"
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop, so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle—it went jingling all the way!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
I love the music of Christmas and the way it makes things magical and beautiful. The other song that feels like this to me--like instant, beautiful Christmas--is Mannheim Steamroller's "Silent Night."
It's like being six again. :)
