I can always remember listening to Christmas music by Elvis Presley at the home of my paternal grandparents when I was growing up. The iconic Christmas tune by Elvis has gotta be Blue Christmas. It's definitely one of my favorite songs to listen to during the holiday season. I hope you enjoy this video of the King performing this song. Plus I've included the covers of some of the Christmas albums by Elvis.

I listened to a lot of Elvis Christmas music when I was growing up. Blue Christmas is definitely a Christmas classic.
The king is alive at Dino's Lounge... miss Elvis and I love Blue Christmas too.
Have a great week ahead Keith.
Happy Holidays Keith, great post as always!
These are some great Christmas album covers from the King. I've always liked Elvis.
Thanks for the memory jog, my mother loved Elvis. I played that video and remembered.
Your Elvis alums are swell! I remember when a couple of those came out, although I'm not old enough to have bought them! Thanks for stopping over at my place and going to the market!
Too cool post today, Keith! You can *never* go wrong with an Elvis xmas album! Never.
As a man with roots in Tennesee, I must admit a certain pride swelling as I look over these images. He is forever an icon of style of me.
Hey, what an extraordinary post! Beautiful song. That's one of my favorite things at this season: Christmas songs.
Have a very merry Christmas week, my friend. Cheers!
great choice! this is actually my favorite christmas song :)
Elvis's Blue Christmas was always playing when I grew up. He is the King. Good luck with your weather today!

It's not Christmasy tunes without a song from Elvis and Bing
Blue Christmas is on constant repeat in my house during the holdiays - I've even been known to dance to it in the aisles of stores when it comes on during shopping trips!! :)
The older I get, the more I appreciate Elvis and his unique American style.
Thanks for posting this.
We are big Elvis fans in my family. My mom met him back in the 60's. Her friend's brother played drums for Elvis during a couple of his California shows. She and her friend got to meet him after a show.
I love the Christmas albums you posted. My favorite is the second one. Very cool! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Merry Christmas and thank you, thank you very much
I love that last cover!. Elvis has a wonderful Christmas collection like "Santa Clauis is back in town!".
Oh Elvis =) I would have so had a crush on him if I lived during his time. I love listening to Blue Christmas, though no one else I know does!
Perfection! Love Elvis music. Liked him since I was 6:)
What a wonderful post! Great clips and cool record covers (not to mention the tree and retro stuffed animals in the first photo) -
And I hope you have a wonderful holiday! :)
Blue Christmas is such a great song, and he really was such a beautiful man!
Have a great Christmas week! x
I used to have all of those on cassette tape. Now I don't even know where those tapes are. Even though Elvis died a tiny bit less then a year after I was born, I really love his singing.
I love Elvis Christmas albums!! ESPECIALLY Blue Christmas!
Random side note but whenever I see photos of Elvis when he was younger, I am always shocked by how much he looks like a woman... is that weird? He has such a feminine face lol
classic rock and roll Christmas
Have a great time! :)
I love listening to Elvis' Christmas music!
Yes, a definite Christmas Classic! It looks like an air conditioner in the first picture which I thought was interesting with a Christmas Tree.
This is a great X'mas song...
Those are some awesome covers! Thanks for sharing Keith...I always learn something new when I visit your blog.
Wonderful Keith. I love all these old Elvis Christmas album covers.

Ah! Elvis - I have a lot of very, very special memories of him. Growing up watching his films on midday TV - a real treat for me and my neighbour - and being in Hawaii when he passed - everyone was in utter shock. An incredible man - thank you for the clips here - I'm very much looking forward to watching them!

Happy Holidays dear*°*°*°

I love him forever!!!
Merry X-mas Keith!!
I love the WHITE CHRISTMAS CD because it contains both his 1950s *and* 1970s Xmas records. Great stuff that I, too, grew up listening to!
Blue Christmas is definitely the Elvis song I think of when it comes to Christmas. This is a great video too!
Hope you had a good start to your week!
Great post hun! Elvis at Christmas is a must! I wish it was rainy over here...instead we have the sun for Christmas :( Hope you have a great week, and a merry Christmas!
I LOVE these album covers - and Blue Christmas is such a fabulous song - it always puts me in the Christmas spirit =)
I love the TV commercial for Satellite radio featuring an Elvis song! He was so talented.
OMG! The first picture is GORGEOUS. It's so simple that is almost perfect.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (this is how we said in Brazil. I hope that where you live too! haha)
XOXO,

He seemed to have the perfect voice for Christmas songs. Very smooth yet passionate. I like the pic with Elvis by the Christmas Tree. He was very handsome.

I love Elvis! When we were in Memphis we went to a wedding and visited Graceland. it was so great to visit that place. So much history and it was such a humble place.
I can never get tired of Elvis Presley!!
