Since I started the run of Christmas music yesterday I am going to continue that theme for the next couple days at least. My daughter last night asked to hear some Christmas music and where else would I start than with the most classic Christmas music of all time. I remember listening to this album when I was a child. My parents had this album from as long as I can remember and played it extensively during the holiday season. When I was filling out my own music collection it was a required album to add to the collection. I am talking about the album by Bing Crosby "Merry Christmas". I am not sure if this is the first Christmas album or not but it was originally released in 1945 and since then the single "White Christmas" is the best selling single of all time at more than 50 million copies. Interestingly, the album is the second best selling Christmas album at about 15 million copies. My favorite track is the last one, "Meli Kalikimaka", but I can pretty much recite all the songs in order in my sleep. This is a classic!! How many of you have this album or remember listening to it during the holiday season?
