6. Christmas has its promises to keep...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs6VLM2tPuA

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

PROMISES TO KEEP

Christmas time
On a cold December morning
All is calm
And the world is still asleep
Christmas lights
That have been caught without warning
Gently glitter on
Stars to wish upon
All the world is at peace

Christmas time and the year will soon be leaving
Cloaked in time till it's just a memory
Christmas stays if we don't forget its meaning
Days go quickly by
Years they multiply
And we go searching for thee

And the dream is still alive
From that first December morning
And it always will survive
As long as we can see
That the dreams we find in life
Are the dreams we tend to seek
And Christmas has its promises to keep

Christmas time
And the moments just beginning
From last night
When we'd wished upon a star
If our kindness
This day is just pretending
If we pretend long enough
Never giving up
It just might be who we are

How many of you remember Brenda Lee?

Edit to add: I think she was 13 or 14 when this was recorded.

29. Ah, baby Josh!
He's all of 20 years old here!

Thanks....I was just going to go out and look for this as I think it's his only Christmas song on Youtube.

Josh + Christmas = a happy camper here!


I found one from 2007....a performance on GMA.
