How about “It’s Christmas Time Pretty Baby” by either Elvis or the Honeydrippers? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/a12DZHv7d_Q/maxresdefault.jpg "ELVIS PRESLEY, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME pretty baby.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a12DZHv7d_Q) ---

Yeah, I just checked. Strange. Elvis’ version was pretty popular back in the day. I saw The Honeydrippers play it on SNL, but I guess they never recorded it. ---

We do. I sent a link to a friend and she asked how _Rio_ is a Christmas song. I had no answer for her, but if you do, I’d be grateful. ---

I actually have some Christmas music this year! 🙂 I have an orchestral version of “Carol of the Bells”, and “I Saw Three Ships” releasing on Nov 30th. And, a new version of “Auld Land Syne” (I rewrote some of the lyrics to emphasize friendship) on Dec 28th! They will be under “Jason Bernard”. ---

Favorites from our home: “Christmas is the Time to Say, ‘I Love You.’” - Billy Squier “Merry Christmas Everyone” - Shakin’ Stevens “We Need a Little Christmas” - Johnny Mathis Honorable Mention: “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings” - Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan. McLachlan’s voice when she sings, “Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Worship him, God most high!” makes me wish I believed. ---
