Elvis: Mama liked the Roses

This song "Mama Liked the Roses" was on Elvis Presley's Christmas LP that my own MOM played every year from 60s to 80s.
She loved her Elvis -- he was her KING of KINGS - and since mom graduated highschool in 1955 - he meant a lot to her generation.

This song doesn't have much to do with Christmas - but Elvis sure can sell a melancholy melody to his beloved mama Gladys aka "Sat'nin" .

Elvis Presley Sings Blue Christmas

That's one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time. It just doesn't feel quite like the holidays until I hear Elvis Presley sing Blue Christmas. I love that video. It's really cool. I hope you enjoyed it as well. Merry Christmas to you all!
