"walking threw the air" By someone. The song is not my taste, but it reminds me of being young and a few family members passed. So holds warm in me lol. Anyone know who it was by? im sure i could google it lol.

Is it 'Walking threw the air' or 'Walking in the Air'?

'Walking in the Air' was written by Howard Blake in 1982.

No, i dont like Christmas at all, ESPECIALLY Chrirstmas songs, lets just say i am tortured throughout December by being forced to listen to a double album of "christmas classics" around 30 times. Seriously, you try it tig, pick your 40 best christmas songs, then stick them on repeat 30 times, do that year in year out for 16 years, then tell me you have a fav? I have good money says you wont! lol

I never listen to them every day for 30 days... Dont forget i have kids and keep finding new ones... lol

I hope the Christmas Eve plans will go well! I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'd love to hear old songs, like "Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walking home from our house Christmas Eve..." or the one that sounds like Porky Pig, "it'll be a b-b-b-blue Christmas without you..."

Something cheerful like those would be great (or even Burle Ives "Have a holly, jolly Christmas..." Thanks Mac Daddy, Tig, Nobby and others!

WinMX forever!
