I can't believe how diversed your favorites are. Very well rounded, and an easy pleaser! I absolutely love The artest Norman Rockwell also, however, I'm also obsessed with the 1940's era! BTW I agree with you on my favorite Christmas Song Do you hear what I hear,lyrics. But I love it anyways, but I've only heared it by a few singers, my favorite Peter Brienholt. Also the words say...said the little boy to the mighty king, What boy can just go talk to a king? Anyways, I still love the song!! Of corse, ask your mom about the traditional "mitch Miller Band" Christmas album, I think that's where I fell inlove with the chirstmas music I chose from.
