MERRY CHRISTMAS: O Tannenbaum performed by Vince Guaraldi Trio - Isn’t it ironic that I am posting a song about a Christmas tree when I am rocking the fake this year. It was not my idea, I let my mother handle tree duties this year. It is quite beautiful, but a fake tree nonetheless. Maybe it is not so bad as this German folk song is not really about a Christmas tree or about the holiday anyway. It was a song about fir trees that later got co-opted by English carolers.
As will be tradition starting from last year, I am sharing something off the greatest Christmas album ever created. Vince Guaraldi was the singular musical voice that drove for most of the Peanuts cartoons, but the Charlie Brown Christmas album stands out as the one that captures the wonder and innocence that is Christmas. While there are plenty of excellent albums for the holiday, this is the one that gets played on repeat in the house and no one ever tires of it.
