(I'm Getting) Nothing for Christmas--The Fontane Sisters (1955)

The melody was borrowed from this German folk song about a doctor who can perform miraculous cures such as getting the blind to walk and restoring sight to the lame.

Ich Bin der Dr. Eisenbart (I am Dr. Ironbeard)

They are on their way!

This came out at a time when the success of the Soviet Sputnik I and II satellites followed by the failure of Vanguard I, America's attempted response, were on everyone's mind.

Santa & the Satellite--Buchanan & Goodman (1957)

We had a beautiful snowy morning this morning - set the tone for this week!

[lightman]

Same here...1 1/2 inches of snow that continues to lay ONLY on the grass and trees: A winter wonderland which required absolutely NO clean up labor.

A true early Christmas gift!

I have never in my life experienced a white Christmas.

[lightman]

Having experienced one significant Christmas Eve snowstorm in my adult lifetime I can assure you: It’s not Currier & Ives.

It is stress on steroids plus a lot of extra work!

Howdy, Kathy.

The weekend finally arrived. I see y’all finally broke into the 20s this afternoon after a few days of teens.
It felt like 20s here with the wind. BRRRRRRRRRRRR
