"K" is for Kris Kringle \ Blue Christmas Without You!

My intention with this composition is to combine the Alphabet challenge ("K")
with the Thursday 1960's retro challenge.
"Kris Kringle" represents kindness, service to others, and love of giving.
Although Elvis' "Blue Christmas" first came out in 1957,
it remained on the album charts until 1962 and popular thereafter;
it was just re-released as a duet with Martina McBride.
My thinking is that it truly would be a "blue christmas" if we forget
kindness, love, and the joy of giving.

(The photo of "Elvis" is Tony Roi in concert.)

I was wondering when someone would use Elvis...I thought of using a King card with some CDs but did not have any Elvis! Great job!!!!!!
