I'm playing a lot of memorable Christmas songs this Christmas.
When "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin first came out I was about nine years old. After going to the movies to see Bing Crosby perform it my cousins and I would act it out using the stairs as theater seats in that cold hallway of the house on Center Street. It was in that house there came a new baby sister and the next Christmas K and I got to go to sleep under the Christmas tree. 
One of those Christmases, in that rented house,  mom's niece, Betty Jean Peterson got us the new "Nutcracker" record album by Spike Jones (our introduction to the classics).  We never got over it.!
