These singers debuted on The Lawrence Welk Show in 1955 after their school classmate, Larry Welk, son of Lawrence Welk, brought them to the attention of his father. They were a mainstay on the show until they left to start a career of their own in 1968. The quartet was only three members from 1960 to 1964; oldest sister Dianne got married, left the group, and then rejoined them again.
Over the decades, they recorded many albums. Their first album was on Brunswick Records and later on Coral, Dot, Ranwood and Mercury. They have recently released four CD volumes of songs taken from their own ABC-TV show.
They are not related to the Beatle John Lennon.
Blue Christmas
The Lennon Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue, blu, blue Christmas
The Lennon Sisters’s song “Blue Christmas” is a song about longing for a loved one during the holiday season. The opening lines directly express this, with the singer saying that they will have a blue Christmas without the person they love. The rest of the song expands on this idea, describing how holiday traditions such as decorating a tree will feel meaningless without the person there to share it with. The use of colors is particularly striking in this song, with the imagery of blue snowflakes and a green Christmas tree with red decorations.
