Christmas Song and Christmas Memory

Christmas Memory:
Todays Christmas Memory is of my dad. When my sister & I were little we lived in Michigan, my mom's parent's lived in Chatham, Ontario. My dad would drive to Chatham a few days ahead of Christmas with our gifts from Santa. So when we woke up at grandma & grandpa's there were presents under the tree from Santa for us. I have often thought of this over the years. Just think that during the winter he would leave work, pack up the car with presents and drive to Chatham, which probably took 2 hours (between driving through the city, going through the boarder, and the ferry ride). Then after he dropped the presents off at my grandparents he had to go home, which would be another 2 hours. What a dad.

Christmas Song:
Today's Christmas song is "Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy" sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. Now I am not a big fan of Bowie, but I really like how he sings this with Bing. And of course Bing is always good. By daughter Amberley is a big fan of this song.
