Christmas music and nostalgia!

Sorry these are a day late...
So there are plenty of things that strike nostalgia for me, just as I'm sure it is different for everyone else. Whether it be some old nintendo system such as Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo or Gameboy Color, or it be my Grandma's house on her birthday a few days before Christmas, Nostalgia always feels great. But something hits home even more for me, and that's my parents' Frank Sinatra CD of Christmas tunes. I love the CD, of course, and whenever I hear it, I just date back to the times of being a kid, where I could sit there, eat chocolates out of little dishes, and play video games while that CD played in the background. However, most Christmas music makes me think about when I was young, and how much I miss it. It is not like I don't like life how it is now, but there is something about that youthful, innocent and pure stage that is really enviable. Jingle Bells by Frank Sinatra is the most nostalgic song for me on that CD, probably because as a family we never got through much of the CD, and that is the first song. As Christmas rolls around, it is always fun to share memories, so there is mine and what it means to me.
