LYRICS: "Blue Christmas"

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
They won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

(I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin')
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas!

* "Blue Christmas" written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson in 1948, and most famously performed by Elvis Presley. *

Memories of an "Italian-American Christmas"; From the aroma of the food to the glow of the fire lights and good music "Canzone Natalizia or Canzone Di Natale" there's nothing like an Italian-American Christmas. More than 3 million Italians immigrated to the United States in the early years of the 20th century, establishing the largest immigrant community of the period. Where a group of Italian-American vocalists achieved great success as recording artists and performers, here we'll salute the Italian-American crooners, such as Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Vic Damone, Jerry Vale, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Lou Monte, Al Martino, Julius La Rosa,Jimmy Roselli, Frankie Laine, Don Cornell, Connie Francis and many, many more, hearing their Christmas songs that played in our homes. Undeniably, religion remains the central part of the Christmas season, and so we share the season with family, Loved ones, plenty of good food and music.

A very famous Italian proverb says: “Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi,” meaning that is mandatory to spend Christmas with your family and loved ones, but you can choose friends or whoever you want for Easter.

Buon Natale! Merry Christmas
