Xmas Songs that bring back memories...

There is this one old OLD song about how the tree was burning and the presents were going up in smoke and something about how the toy firetrucks ?? were going to save the day. Can't for the life of me remember the title but it scared the bejesus out of me when I was younger and it haunts me to this day. Even now thinking about it brings this overwhelming sense of dread. I think I was about 7 or 8 when I heard it on the radio.....

Good memories of making love to my gf (at the time) to silent night by bing crosby.....

Good memories of the typical french canadian christmas one year (I was dating a girl from quebec) and heard all the oldies in french. We're talking about 50 relatives, wood burning stove, egg nog, the whole shebang. Being it was Quebec city too we're talking about 20 feet of snow piled up in front of all the houses too. Now THAT was a christmas to remember....

I dread the holidays as it's time the loved ones are missed most. Sometimes feel some so empty even though surrounded by people.

Even though Dance with my father is not Xmas song, sometimes gets play during the holidays.

Can't remember the 'new' song I heard on way home last year in same category as Xmas Shoes. The female DJ and lady who requested it were both sobbing in the background. Needless to say, my eyes were watery.

unfortunately it's not only in the "festive season", but no doubt it's magnified for many people.

I don't do xmas and avoid anything related to it, but I used to like Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - Lennon ... it's a good "reminder"

Christmas Sucks - Tom Waits, comes to mind.

don't mind me ... Carry On Christmas-ing ... heheh

I remember driving my Mother nuts running around the house and singing I'm getting nothing for Christmas.

Garth Brooks, Beyond the Season -The Gift
