There's a long-winded appreciation of Joni in the Dec. 17 issue of The New Yorker. Take my word for it, it's not worth your time.

Not really a Christmas song, but one of the best set around Christmas time.

Not really a Christmas movie, but one set at Christmas - "The Thin Man".  The first, best and only one based directly on the book.  William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles.  I have to see this movie every year about this time.

 
Fantastic!!!!! 
Both of them.

Great song for 'opting in' just a tad at this time of year.  Thanks Bill.

Here in Ottawa we have the Rideau River Canal that when it freezes over is maintained and creates a 20 km skating rink. However this year it has been to mild for that to happen. I wish I had a river I could skate away one. Thanks Joni

Robert Downey Jr. did a surprisingly excellent cover of this song.  No, really.  Give it a listen, and even the most jaded among you might say "huh....that's pretty good."

As a born Canadian, I have a soft spot for Joni Mitchell.

She really nails the Christmas blues on this one.  To this day, it brings back my Christmases alone, sometimes not by choice.  {#Cry}

Yes, Joni Mitchell. In my top ten all time artists. If you liked this song, you might check out Herbie Hancock's version of River off his recent tribute album to Joni that features other singers covering some of her tunes. Joni actually sings on one track. Really cool jazz laid back versions. Peace and Joy to this troubled world which will always have its troubles. Artists like Joni have helped me cope over the years.

A song I have listen to over the past four decades that truly kindles fond Christmas time memories.  Many thanks, Joni.
