Tack's Twelve Days of Christmas, Number Two

It's been so long since the movie of the same name that many people forget that Bing Crosby was not the only shining star of White Christmas, the 1954 Paramount confection which also starred Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, and this vivacious babe right here: Rosemary Clooney.
The song Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep) was nominated for an Oscar for best song. It's not a Christmas song, but because of it's association with the movie and Bing's famous croon, every time I think of, or hear, White Christmas, I want to hear this gem instead. To me it brings home "the reason for the season" a lot more than dreaming of snowflakes.

Have always enjoyed this song. You are so correct about the power of Rosemary's performance that makes you want to lean in.
