Hi Lori: Ray Charles is the dude…so soulful and the perfect person to sing a holiday tune. Wow, I’ve never thought of Imagine as a holiday tune, but I can see why you would include this. I have not seen Glee, but I can imagine the version you described very vividly…it sounds very cool. Thanks for stopping by and sharing!

Hey Tim,
Ray Charles is an angel. He just melts me when I hear him sing – thanks for the vid!

Christmas songs? Well, I have to admit that Christmas music/songs have never been high on my list – but one song that tends to be played a lot around the holidays, which always breaks my ‘holiday spell,’ is John Lennon’s Imagine.

And this might sound shallow, but there’s a recent episode of Glee called ‘Hairography’ that has scene where the show choir performs Imagine with a neighboring school’s choir that moved me beyond words. (I don’t have a TV, but love to download episodes of Glee and Dexter from iTunes!)

Thanks, Tim.

Hi Nadia: I know what you mean about Ray Charles. After I posted this, I found another great Christmas song that he performed and I was blown away again. You mentioned some great holiday tunes and, believe it or not, I forgot about the Elvis ones. Thanks for stopping by and commenting…and have a great Christmas, as well!

Hi Tim,

Ray Charles is so awesome. I love the clip.

My favorite Christmas songs are “Do They Know It’s Christmas Time”, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, “All I Want for Christmas is You”, and some Elvis Presley songs which are more blues like than Christmas like which is cool.

In case I do not talk to you before the 24th, have an awesome Christmas!
