Bringing Back Memories

One year for Christmas my sister and I got a 45.  For those of you that are younger than I am, that's a record.  I was probably only nine or ten.  Even though most people were using tape players at that time, our family had a record player that worked so there wasn't much need in buying anything new.  So my sister and I got this record of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.  Fourty-fives only hold two songs.  I think one song was "The Man" and the other was "Say Say Say".  We played the heck out of that record!  Back then there wasn't much to choose from and this was probably the best record we had.  Well, I must have heard "Say Say Say" recently because it's stuck in my head (along with "Santa Baby" for some strange reason).  And everytime I hear it the memories of being a kid during Christmas time follow.  Isn't Christmas great when you're a kid?  The whole month of December is a delight from the decorations to the presents.  Oh, and the tree!  How wonderful with all those lights.  I remember I use to just sit next to the tree and I'd be in awe of it's size and beauty.  And the smell!  We always had a live tree and that pine smell takes me back.  So, I've decided to share the song with all of you.  It's a great video too that kinda tells a story.  Enjoy!
