She snapped into holiday-mode every November, designing her yearly greeting card, making gift lists, ordering her “snow” flocked Christmas trees (which she covered in colorful balloons), planning parties, creating menus, and of course, there was a lot of shopping and a whole lot of wrapping. Her house became a virtual Christmas factory, and it was fun and exciting to be a part of all of the activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe loved to entertain at holiday time, and as you might imagine, music was the centerpiece of her parties. She played on her stereo Christmas carols sung by all of her favorite artists, who also happened to be some of her good friends. She didn’t play her own Christmas album, Christmas Carousel, unless her guests insisted (which was a common occurrence).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe highlight of every party was when the live music began. Once her guests were well-imbibed and comfortable, my grandmother would settle into her chaise lounge in her living room, pull out her microphone and start to sing. She would invite guests to join in on these impromptu holiday concerts, and since she had so many talented musician friends, this was no ordinary sing-along. These were magical moments, forever imprinted in my mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as much as she loved the fun and festivities of the holidays, my grandmother was drawn to something beyond that. What she loved most about Christmas was the same thing that she loved about singing: it was a conduit to connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough her writing and singing, she sent and received love, and this was especially true at holiday time, when hearts can be more open. You need look no further than some of the Christmas lyrics that she penned to see the message that she hoped to impart, which was for everyone in the world to have health, happiness, peace, friendship and have them wish it back to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWishing you all a joy-filled holiday time and angels on your pillow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHolly Foster Wells\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peggy Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45714574377276,"sku":"719777","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/3819\/7564\/files\/image_of_0719777.png?v=1747820667"},{"product_id":"i-dream-of-christmas-deluxe-gold-lp","title":"I Dream Of Christmas Deluxe Gold LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e Dream Of Christmas (Deluxe) is a newly expanded 24-track edition of GRAMMY-winning singer, songwriter, and pianist Norah Jones’ beloved 2021 holiday album, a delightful and comforting collection of timeless seasonal favorites and affecting originals. The Deluxe edition features 11 additional songs including bonus tracks and live performances, as well as a brand-new studio recording of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s release found Norah performing songs including her original “Christmas Calling (Jolly Jones),” the Chipmunks’ “Christmas Don’t Be Late,” and Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” everywhere from Rockefeller Center to the White House and Disneyland to the top of the Empire State Building. In fact, five of the additional tracks included on the Deluxe edition were taken from that remarkable live performance atop the iconic New York City skyscraper where Norah was joined by bassist Gus Seyffert, drummer Brian Blade, and vocalist Sasha Dobson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original studio album was produced by Leon Michels and features an excellent cast of musicians including Blade on drums, Tony Scherr and Nick Movshon on bass, Russ Pahl on pedal steel guitar, Marika Hughes on cello, Dave Guy on trumpet, Raymond Mason on trombone, and Michels on saxophone, flute, percussion, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“When I was trying to figure out which direction to take, the original songs started popping in my head,” Norah explained. “They were all about trying to find the joys of Christmas, catching that spark, that feeling of love and inclusion that I was longing for during the rest of the year. Then there are all the classics that have that special nostalgia that can hit you no matter who or where you are in life. It was hard to narrow down, but I picked favorite classics that I knew I could make my own.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.
