Marie has already blogged about her love for Mariah Carey's Christmas songs and, after reading her post, I have this to say: word.
So, inspired by Marie's not-creepy-at-all obsession with Mrs. Nick Cannon (how's that for a pop culture reference - what up yo) and the happy memory of my sister's annual fascination with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, here's my ideal Christmas playlist (in no particular order):
1. Winter Wonderland - Aretha Franklin
2. Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms
3. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee
4. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Jackson 5
5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen
6. Let It Snow - Dean Martin
7. Last Christmas - Taylor Swift
8. White Christmas - The Drifters
9. Santa Baby - Marilyn Monroe
10. Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano
11. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
12. Christmas Is All Around - Love Actually
13. Baby It's Cold Outside - Willie Nelson ft. Norah Jones
14. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Andy Williams
15. All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey
Okay, actually, I could go on and on and on with this list, so I'm going to stop here. Wait, what's that, Jon? You say I forgot something? Oh em gee, you're right! Dear readers, Jon and I give you Danny Elfman.
Oh man, I love Christmas music. What are your favorites?
(Adam, I know you're going to yell at me for not including anything, you know, choral. That will be another post. I promise! But let me tell you this for now: I've had Harry Christophers on repeat for the past few weeks. Heaven.)
Note: The Sixteen's "Ding Dong Merrily on High" just came on - and Jon and Sam bust out their best falsetto to join along with the glorias. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe Sixteen's "Hodie: An English Christmas Collection" is def the best Christmas CD ever!
