Carol of the Day

Johnny Mathis' voice is one of the first one hears piping out of department store speakers and Target elevators when the season rolls around, but when I hear it I inevitably think back to my childhood and the rich and joyful Christmases that my parents gave my sisters and me. I remember my long red and white checked dress and white turtleneck that I wore one year, Pecan Puffs on a plate in the dining room, the white electric candles in every window of the house.

Enjoy --
