If you are my age and went to Leon High in the late sixties, you'll remember we got out of school at noon on a Wednesday for Spring Break. I loaded up my car with 4-5 guys and headed for Alligator Point to commiserate with friends, girls and other ne'er-do-wells without the direct supervision of parents! Some would say we were young and stupid. Looking back, I certainly agree with that admonition. What does that have to do with Christmas, you ask. Nothing! However, at 8 AM this morning it was 32 degrees, and it made me wish I was at the beach relaxing in a comfy beach lounge chair sipping on a nice glass of Pinot Noir.
So, now that that memory is etched solidly in my brain and my heart, it's time to get back on the celebrate Christmas train. So Merry Christmas to all beach lovers! Who better to celebrate Christmas and our adoration of the beach and all its pleasures than THE BEACH BOYS? I saw the Beach Boys at the world renown Tully Gym at Florida State University way back in the day.
Here we go - Still going strong for 64 years - LITTLE SAINT NICK from the band that started "The California Sound" in 1961.
From 1991 here is another cool video with a great Christmas tune - THE MAN WITH ALL THE TOYS!
And one of the greatest tunes ever recorded that has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas - Enjoy Paul McCartney's favorite song by this 100 million selling group - From1966 live - GOD ONLY KNOWS!
Wherever you may be - town or beach - Merry Christmas!
