I'll be 50 in December of this year; born in 1961. I like to say that with the Berlin Wall, Cuban missle crisis, everything bad that happened that year, was made up when I was born. :))

I am a December baby too, MM.

So here is one of the top songs of 1961~

Roy Orbison - Crying with k.d. lang

1954, my dad used to whistle this when I was young, and it became an old favorite.

The High and the Mighty, from the movie of the same name.

Another hit that I'm sure you've all heard...

Stand By Me by Ben E. King is my second favorite song of all time, my favorite being Georgia On My Mind (only sung by Ray Charles). I think Michael Bolton should be shot for even attempting that one... ;)

I was born in December too UK and MM :D We should start a club hehehe

another song from 1969

The Dells - Oh What a Night

I'm pretty sure it was playing on the radio the night I was born ;D

December was evidently a good month in the 60's, eh ladies? :D :-*

WOW!! December Babes!! WOW!! :o

Bet I have the worst birthday date! The day after Christmas when no one wants to party and no one wants cake! Bummer!

I dunno...my son's birthday is Christmas Day itself. The best Christmas present we ever got. :D I think the worst part is that you only got one present the whole year. What we did was celebrate Christmas on Dec. 24th. The 25th is Josh (he was named after our Lord) and Jesus's birthday only. It works for us.
