An Afternoon In The Grotto

What a fun get-together we had last Saturday afternoon! 

Part of the agenda included a magical discussion re the topic My Top 3 Elvis Gifts Under The Christmas Tree.

Elvis sings, Merry Christmas, Baby ... give me a diamond ring for Christmas ... or not? If our friends and/or family were really nice and could grant us some special Elvis Christmas gift wishes this year, what would they be? ANY item counts, released or unreleased, real or imaginary! 

The wishes of our members included the following:  

1. ELVIS APPAREL. Elvis PJ's, Elvis' dark navy shirt with flowers (1970 rehearsal), the Concha belt, a bracelet with the letter "E", Elvis' red shirt from Blue Hawaii and the '68 Black Leather Suit. 

2. TIME TRAVEL VOUCHERS FROM ELVIS. Best-loved destinations included Christmas Eve at Graceland, a trip in Elvis' bus to Albuquerque, being on set for one of his movies, a live show in Vegas, the taping of the '68 Comeback Special and a cinema - watching movies with Elvis.

3. UNRELEASED MUSIC/FOOTAGE. Most requested were a Gospel LP with our own favourite songs NOT previously recorded by Elvis, DVD/Blu-Ray Extended Editions of the rockumentaries Elvis: That's The Way It Is and Elvis On Tour containing ALL 10 filmed shows in full, plus all rehearsal and behind the scenes footage. It is time.
