1951: The best "The Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim
We will watch several versions of "The Christmas Carol" over the holidays.
My favorite is the 1951 movie with Alastair Sim as "Scrooge". In fact, it's hard for me to watch another version without comparing it to this one.
It is great every year!

Christmas 1957: "Jingle bell rock" by Bobby Helms
Normally, I am very traditional about Christmas music. However, there are exceptions, such as Bobby Helms' "Jingle bell rock", a classic from 1957 that we hear every year. Helms was a 1950's rocker who recorded other hits like "My special angel".
This is "Jingle Bell Rock":
"Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell,Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells swing andJingle-bells ring.
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun,
Now the Jingle hop has begun.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells chime in Jingle-bell time.
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.
What a bright time; it's the right time
To rock the night away.
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy up Jingle horse; pick up your feet;
Jingle around the clock.
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the Jingle-bell rock.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells swing andJingle-bells ring.
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun,
Now the Jingle hop has begun.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock, Jingle-bells chime in Jingle-bell time.
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time; it's the right time
To rock the night away.
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy up Jingle horse; pick up your feet;
Jingle around the clock.
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the Jingle-bell
That's the Jingle-bell
That's the Jingle-bell rock."

The Ronettes and "Sleigh Ride"
They were Veronica (Ronnie) Bennett (1943-2022), her sister Estelle (1941-2009) and their cousin Nedra Talley. They grew up in New York City's Washington Heights.
"Be My Baby" was one of the first 45s in my collection. It is one of the greatest songs of the 1960s.
The Ronettes, one of the great "girl groups" of pop! Their version of "Sleigh ride" is a must at Christmas.
