That's really encouraging.Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-9153093813069335352014-12-22T15:15:55.441-08:002014-12-22T15:15:55.441-08:00:-) I do know, I think.

I have to confess, though I still perceive the comfort, that I've come to believe the comfort derived from belief in what was even then illusion.Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-36616110613347518672014-12-21T16:31:56.447-08:002014-12-21T16:31:56.447-08:00I don't 'feel' Sinatra and Bing like I...I don't 'feel' Sinatra and Bing like I do Eartha (and so many others...), but I treasure that whole popular iconic aspect of them for the same reason I like to look at Christmas trees; comforting, ya know?shandra berihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263769438873496062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-81076264577332560052014-12-21T15:33:13.392-08:002014-12-21T15:33:13.392-08:00You'll be fascinated to know- we did our "...You'll be fascinated to know- we did our "one day in town" family shopping yesterday; and I heard "Santa Baby"; NOT by Eartha; 3 times. Ok, but so not Eartha. King Cole? Zip. Bing? 2-3, all different. They fluctuate; and yeah, I keep track 3 years ago; 1 Eartha, 8 Bings, and The Christmas Song by 4 different artists.
