on edit: oh, you said "city". Well, I guess the city my Grandparents lived in, since it reminds me of them...

Especially Johnny Mathis' "Merry Christmas" and the Nat King Cole Christmas Album. I can close my eyes and see Mom putting the platters on the old "hi-fi."
Wow!
Thanks for the memory recall! Very cool!

| 3. Boston, I think, since I've spent time there, and they celebrate Christmas |

in a big way. And it's in the NorthEast, snow country and sleigh bells. But I don't tend to think of big cities, so much, when it comes to Christmas. I think more of the boonies, where I live, rural and serious snow country, with woods and mountains, and lots of evergreens. And I didn't say that I preferred this, you understand, since I don't much like snow, but this is what Christmas music makes me think of...:shrug::D

but then I listened to a lot of the Mormom Tabernacle Choir as a kid.
Second choice would be London, it's not Christmas without the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College, Cambridge

For some reason, "Silver Bells" always made me think of New York.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style...
That says Macy's and Gimbel's to me, for some reason.

listening to christmas music to me is like being masticated by the very own jaws of Dis amidst a heartless, hateful, frigid expanse.
