Living on the rez as a kid my mom would my mom would bring home 45s or a collection of old records from the Goodwill store from the little town close to us. I would then go through them and spin them and listen.......this song was one of the many that left a mark and still brings back fond memories which I still listen too...

Weird, my Dad is a really big fan of the Band and yet I never heard this one growing up, nor do I even recognize the album cover.

The boss likes Dominic the donkey.

I myself always have "walkin 'round in women's underwear " stuck in my head this time of year

White Heart's rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" always gets to me. Love it!

So many to choose from... I would have to say "O Come O Come Emmanuel" is pretty much always on my playlist.
