Absolutely right, Volger. I'd say that more than a few on VN have spent some time on the Group W bench.

No doubt Sly.

I don't remember a thanksgiving not hearing this song. I thought the younger folks here might appreciate a new thanksgiving tradition for themselves.

My mother-in-law was talking about this last night. I had never heard of it and I'm 26, so maybe it was before my time.

This is the first Thanksgiving in years that I haven't watched Home Alone. Couldn't find it on anywhere.

It came out in mid-late 60's. I have heard it on the radio every thanksgiving since then. Classic of a holiday song as Jingle Bells.

Just a bit. The song is over 40 years old.

And is timeless imo. I look forward to hearing the song more than I do watching the Lions on thanksgiving.

He's going to be at the Ryman on the 4th, but it's sold out.
