[Windy Scamper 403]

Wizards of Winter by the Trans Siberian Orchestra, although it doesm'g sound all that Christmasy. (It does when Christmas lights dance to it, though)

 

Next one would be All I want Fo Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. It's so catchy...

So, it's getting to be that time of year again. November is almost over and people are starting to count down the shopping days til Christmas (unless of course, they started their shopping and preparation a few months early, in which case, freaks!) Normally hearing Christmas songs on the radio or at every store gets on my nerves (especially before December!), but I have to admit, there are a couple of holiday tunes I really like. In no particular order, these are:

 

1) "Silver Bells" - Christmastime in the city! Love the tune and love the atmosphere it invokes.

 

2) "What Child is This"/"Greensleeves" - I guess it isn't technically an Xmas song at all, so much as Greensleeves with words tacked on, but I have liked this one since I learned to play it on the piano. It was always a staple at every piano recital and just has a nice midevil type of sound.

 

3) "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - Not necesarily a Christmas song, so much as a winter song, but it's so damn catchy and funny. I have really liked it since it's appearance in my favorite Christmas movie, Elf.

 

4) "Sleigh Ride" - I love how most versions have sound effects that sound like hoofbeats. Do people even go on sleigh rides anymore? Because they sound epic!

 

5) "Carol of the Bells" - This one also has an epic feel to it and is just really pretty.

 

6) "We Three Kings" - Any version of this one is good - it has a unique oriental (for lack of a better word) tune, but the Roaches version is especially interesting and has a haunting quality

 

 

So, how about the rest of you? What are your favorite Christmas/holiday songs?

From the newer ones, Last Christmas (I Gave You My Heart) always gets me. The good version, not the lousy new ones that have come out.

 

Oh god, no joke. My parents are listening to Christmas music in the car, and a couple of days ago I heard Taylor Swift's cover of Last Christmas and it was bad. I'm not really one to label things as "bad", but there's just no other word to describe it.
