Holiday Song Tag
Macoosh tagged me with this Christmas song meme. Since it’s in the Christmas spirit, here goes:
1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Lou Rawls. Classic, just classic.
2. Christmastime is Here by the Charlie Brown Kids (aka Vince Guaraldi). Always gets me in the holiday spirit, just like the tv special.
3. Jingle Bells by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. My favorite version of this song. It’s the same version that’s played on the radio during the Christmas morning scene in the movie “A Christmas Story.”
4. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen. One of the most fun holiday songs I can think of.
5. When My Heart Finds Christmas by Harry Connick, Jr. Can I just say that I love this man’s music? His holiday songs are instant classics and easily fit in with the rest of my holiday collection.
I must add, of course I love all the traditional Christmas hymns that we sing in church, from O Come O Come Emmanuel (usually sung on the first Sunday of Advent) to Silent Night, which closes our Christmas Eve candlelight service. There’s nothing like celebrating the birth of Christ to really get me in the mood. After all, Jesus is the reason for the season.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to upload my entire holiday CD collection to iTunes. And I don’t really feel like tagging anyone right now. It took me over an hour to compose this post because I had to drag out all my holiday music.
