Do you have a favorite version of this song?
What's your favorite Christmas song?
Have a meaningful holiday, chock full of friends, family, food, joy, laughter, and love.
I'll listen to your array before settling on a favorite "I Wonder"...my favorite Xmas song might run to "Hallelujah Chorus", "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and "Merry Christmas, Baby"...
ReplyDeleteHappy Festivals and Solstice/NY holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jerry. I listened to the one with Linda Ronstadt. I will try some of the others too.
ReplyDeleteI'm an "O Holy Night" guy. I'm with Tracy on the Linda Ronstadt version.
