Ho Ho Ho & All That Jazz!

To get into the holiday spirit, let's share some holiday tunes. Be it silly or traditional, we could all use some inspiration for this time of year!

(I went thru 17 logs of "suggested songs" last weekend for work. I have WAY too much stuff that was "inappropriate" for us... but perfectly fine for lit!)​

Cold December Night ~ Michael Bublé

Cheesy maybe, but love it all the same!

[Faux_Pas]

Starting out with something traditional given a nice twist and becoming one of my favorites:
Train- "Joy To The World"

 

[Faux_Pas]

From the weird side of things:
Joseph Spence - "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"

Reminds me of my uncle.
I think we all have this uncle.

 

[SortOfBeautiful]

I listen to Michael Buble Christmas music all year 'round.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by Nsync.

I like that one!
It keeps getting cut off at work!

Glad I'm not the only one!

I never listen to enough Christmas music during the season, and only tend to realize it once the season is over. So, I'm making a concerted effort to change that year. To that end, one of my favorite Christmas songs, but almost entirely because of her version:


Ella Fitzgerald - Sleigh Ride

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

By the way, I'm going to save you all here.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo is a Christmas song I really like, and so when my aunt won tickets to their concert a few years back, I was excited to go.

It was so hilariously bad. I still like the song, but it was one of those things where you're excited, and it starts, and five minutes in you look at the person next to you and go, "Uh oh. We may have made a mistake here." So over the top, and people headbanging while they played the violin is just.. no. Stop that.

 

[Faux_Pas]

Absolutely positively one of my HAVE TO PLAY songs each year.
Earth a Kitt- "Santa Baby"

 

[SortOfBeautiful]

Good to know. My sister went a few years ago and raaaaved about how good it was and how badly I missed out.

Oh man, you so didn't. It was the worst. We still laugh about that. SO happy I didn't pay for those tickets.


Except for in pain.

I happen to like headbanging violinists.

Nuttin but stringz needs to do a Christmas album.

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

I happen to like headbanging violinists.

Heh. You are welcome to them!

 

[fr33ks33k]

That would be cool. For some reason I really enjoy depressing Christmas songs like this one.

 

[SortOfBeautiful]

At first I was like, it's FOB, how bad can it be?

That IS depressing. Thanks.

On a side note, Dave Barnes' voice makes me want to do very, very bad things with him under the tree. Unf.

"I'll Be Home For Christmas - Dave Barnes.

 

[saysalice]

I've been singing this one to the baby. We learned it for a Christmas concert in elementary school (and husband would rather I didn't "brainwash him with the Jesus-y ones"). He'd never heard this one, before.

Must Be Santa

The PowerPoint animations give me a headache, though.

 

[Britwitch]

I love a good Christmas carol and this is arguably the best.
Nothing quite like belting this one out in a church or cathedral, and luckily I get to this year. Which is awesome!

O Holy Night

 

[yeishia]

Baby, It's Cold Outside

 

[Wolfias]

Give my rowdily shouted Rockabilly Christmas any day...if I want the slow stuff I'll visit mom. how exciting that is.

To bad Mr. wolf I like the slow stuff.
