I recall knowing someone from Queens, New York who had Ives as a neighbor around there. Said he was nice, quiet, agreeable. I could have this wrong, perhaps he only lived there awhile. Anyway, I am glad there was no negative gossip, just that he was a good neighbor! As a girl in Ohio in the '60s, I thought the animated cartoon was so cool, and later I learned more about the recordings of Ives. Top stuff! Thank you for this.
Oh man, does it get any better than this? BEAUTIFUL video. You made a serious Christmas lover believe it was December 25th in the middle of July -- thank you.
@vengefulwolf74 LOL -- I understand! I love Christmas -- even in mid-July. I have 5 fake trees and I put up a live one right along with them as soon as the turkey is put away at Thanksgiving -- LOL. I don't blame you for keeping yours up at least to May. Christmas trees are so beautiful and bring so much happiness O:)
Big Burl is at his best every Christmas with this all-time favorite. Burl's vocal and Harold Bradley's 12-string work really make this one. Great pix, likewise.
That's the good ole' days when folks could actually enjoy the decorations ! Now I can hardly afford the lights and yard decorations......much less enuff gifts to go around !
@coreyjim I AGREE, this song sung by Burl and Gene Autry singing "santa claus is coming to town" along with "Frosty the Snowman" sung by Jimmy Durante are classics to be cherished.
Ohh I Just Love, Love Song & As Always A Fabulous Vid!!! You Just Put A Big Smile On My Face!!!! It's One Of My Favorites!!! "Merry Christmas Joe"...Anita..:)

Burl Ives is great... until you take a 6 hour road trip and the only tape in the car is Burl Ives. Thanks a lot Dad.

Thanks, Joe! Burl singing this is such a counterpoint to
his two most vivid character roles: Big Daddy in CAT ON
A HOT TIN ROOF ("Mendacity") and Papa in BIG COUNTRY.
