Tis the season to be jolly, fa la … and all that jazz. I haven’t been around all that much, but want to wish you a Merry Christmas! I can’t even believe it’s already here. Again. Which means the year is almost over. Craziness! I’d like to say I’ll start posting more, but … not sure if that’ll happen. I do have a couple posts coming up, including my Top Reads for the year. You can catch me mostly on Facebook in the meantime.
Anyway, a couple years ago I shared my favorite Christmas movies, so this year I’m sharing some of my favorite Christmas songs.
—————–
The Eagles – Please Come Home for Christmas
I love this one. ♥
Elvis – Blue Christmas
The Elvis Christmas album was a staple in my house growing up. My mom had to play it every year. We’d groan (jokingly) when she put it on, but it wasn’t Christmastime until it played. The album, especially Blue Christmas, is a must for me.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra – Carol of the Bells
No explanation needed.
Brenda Lee – Rockin’ Around the Chrismas Tree
I love Brenda Lee’s voice so much and this is a fun song that’s impossible to sit still when it plays.
Dean Martin – Winter Wonderland
This is another one that makes me happy. Actually, I love all Dean’s Christmas music.
What are your favorites?
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, as well, Christy.
I love Winter Wonderland. I also like Do You Hear What I Hear? and O Holy Night.
O Holy Night is a great one. It gives me chills when certain people sing it.
Yeah, I love Winter Wonderland and Blue Christmas. Actually, I like all of your choices. Have a wonderful Christmas Christy!
You too!
Carol of the Bells is my fave Christmas song! Though I have to admit I like the ones with words. Trans-Siberian Orchestra in general has beautiful music though. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Christy 🙂
I put on a lot of Norwegian Christmas music… as that’s what I grew up with. I don’t think all of them exist in English, even. When I listen to Norwegian Christmas music, I feel like I’m with my family and that just makes me happy. (And sappy :p )
Ahh I curious about the Norwegian Christmas songs.
I’ll have to do a search on youtube… will share links 😉
Merry Christmas! As far as Christmas music goes, a lot of it still makes me twitchy from my time in retail, so I don’t listen to it very often. I do always have to break out “All I Want for Christmas is You” a couple times a year though… 🙂
lol! That’s what other people I know who work in retail tell me too.
Merry Christmas!!! I love Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. My kids do now too because they watched Home Alone for the first time this year. They love all the songs from there. I love Baby It’s Cold Outside and there is a Kelly Clarkson song I love.
Yay for their introduction to Home Alone! 🙂 I love Baby It’s Cold Outside too, it’s a fun one.
Have a merry christmas and enjoy your time girl!!
I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas, Christy! I am really not a big fan of Christmas music. A little goes a long way for me and it all seems to start so early these days. I could definitely listen to some Elvis though.
Merry Christmas to YOU, too!
I just re-discovered all my favorite 80’s Christmas songs… wait! Don’t go rolling your eyes! My absolute favorite was always
The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping” – maybe because you just don’t hear it as much anymore. My other favorite is the entire Charlie Brown Christmas CD by Vince Guaraldi. *sigh*
Okay, I had to look up Christmas Wrapping … listening now … oh, shit, I forgot all about it. Jeez, wonder when I last heard it. Probably in the 80s. lol
Marry Christmas Christy! I like Hark The Herald Angle Sing from Charlie Brown Christmas. It seems like the year just flew by.
Wishing you a joyous holiday season. Hoping 2018 treats us all well. Hmmm….favorite Christmas songs, I adore Garth Brooks singing Friendly Beasts and The Gift. I also love Sarah McLachlan’s Greensleeves, and I like Elvis as well.
Those are all classics and I love them!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Christy!!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas to you and your family. {Hugs}
I love anything with Frank Sinatra, lol. He has a swoon-worthy voice! Dean Martin is great, too! Have you seen the original Oceans 11 with both of them? I love it!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday, my friend. I hope you have a wonderful one with your loved ones. #hugs ?❤️?
I hope you had a great holiday!
Hoping you had an awesome Christmas! I love the older Christmas tunes…
