When I was growing up, my dad was in radio. We lived in the suburbs, and the holiday music I grew up with was the popular music of radio, television and the movies. Many years later my own children watched, as they were growing up, Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Holiday Inn, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s A Wonderful Life and many holiday specials

When I was growing up, my dad was in radio. We lived in the suburbs, and the holiday music I grew up with was the popular music of radio, television and the movies. Many years later my own children watched, as they were growing up, Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Holiday Inn, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s A Wonderful Life and many holiday specials that I remember as a child. Today we still know and sing the “pop” songs, Johnny Marks’ Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, A Holly Jolly Christmas and I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day, as well as Silver Bells from the movie The Lemon Drop Kid and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas from Holiday Inn, because they were the best songs of their time and now are part of our holiday celebrations.
