Christmas is a big deal there, since it's a Roman Catholic country. It's the biggest celebration, so I guess it starts early too =) holiday music makes me so happy.<br />I like the Baby it's cold outside song by Dean Martin =) i just find it fun and flirty ♥ I also like the little drummer boyblue elephant photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327147188420436787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500823771552097584.post-66840116571610109052010-12-04T10:53:54.656-06:002010-12-04T10:53:54.656-06:00Okay, I went through my ipod Christmas play list a...Okay, I went through my ipod Christmas play list and narrowed it down to a few to suggest. I love many traditional Christmas songs, but have listed here some less traditional songs, or covers. <br />In addition to some that have already been listed (love the titles Christy suggested)<br />All time favorite since it was first recorded ~ Do They Know It's Christmas by Band-Aid {this, in addition to John Lennon's Happy Christmas, always makes me tear up}<br />Winter Wonderland ~ Eurythmics<br />Christmas All Over Again ~ Tom Petty<br />Santa Baby ~ performed by Eartha Kit, Madonna or the Pussy Cat Dolls all good versions.<br />Jingle Bell Rock ~ Randy Travis<br />I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus ~ John Mellencamp<br />This version is always the crowd pleaser at the symphony Christmas concert: Sleigh Ride arranged by Leroy Anderson<br />Can't wait to see the finished play list. Did I mention I looooove Christmas music?<br />Thanks PG for your sweet comment on my photo. :)<br />♥maureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146377365343300346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500823771552097584.post-7020747503968165482010-12-02T23:19:26.549-06:002010-12-02T23:19:26.549-06:00Love this song - Loreena McKennett (sp!)

Thanks, Jamie, for your kind words and again for the wonderful opportunity to post for you last week. It really was fun and so nice now to see the beautiful mix everyone put together! :)<br /><br />Now... on to holiday music, which for me growing up was all the traditional Christmas songs and carols that I still love today. One of my favourite things to do over the holiday is to sit at the piano and try to play all the way through the Reader's Digest Christmas Songs!<br /><br />I have many favourite songs to listen to this time of year, but here are a few standouts:<br /><br />Ron Sexsmith, Maybe this Christmas. As far as modern Christmas songs go, I think this is the best. It captures everything for me that the season should be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BAByJQGAIg.<br /><br />Low, Silent Night. Love this band and their oh-so-pretty rendition of this tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOZwvRzPvz8&feature=related<br /><br />John Lennon, Happy Xmas (War is Over). What can I say, this makes me cry every time. I think it's the kids choir. Sigh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUCbZhIfQbA<br /><br />O Holy Night. I don't know what it is about this carol, but it just is so beautiful to me. For my mom, who also just loves Christmas carols (probably as much as me and by beautiful aunt, PG)... Josh Groban... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQWXfHzOKUU<br /><br />The Three Kings was a beautiful choral piece that I sang once in a choir... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGUE8vm0LTQ<br /><br />Looking soooo forward to this mix. :)<br /><br />-Beebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475685576839380689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500823771552097584.post-91876236267559852732010-12-02T17:32:18.692-06:002010-12-02T17:32:18.692-06:00OK, I know I am going to get boo'd by many of ...OK, I know I am going to get boo'd by many of you, but I am just not crazy about holiday music. Now, before you go calling me all bah humbug, just read on to see the list I made in the spirit of the holidays! <br /><br />And, I promise to check out the playlist next week Jamie. I am sure I will like what you put together!!<br /><br />"Baby Please Come Home" by U2<br /><br />"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Judy Garland (love her)<br /><br />"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" by Bruce Springsteen<br /><br />"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones<br /><br />"Little Drummer Boy" by Johnny Cashurban muserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174488230882848637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500823771552097584.post-52617376846553479802010-12-02T16:48:50.487-06:002010-12-02T16:48:50.487-06:00lovely, lovely image, maureen ...

My special treat each Christmas is to go to the Christmas concert performed by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. They perform a wonderful mix of classical music with contemporary tunes, and even have a sing along at the end of the concert. <br />I just checked and I have 93 Christmas songs on my ipod Christmas play list. I'll have to go through and choose just one or two to share here. :)<br />Thanks for featuring my photo today, so cool for it to be included here for the Christmas theme.<br />xo<br />maureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146377365343300346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500823771552097584.post-69272947923052323102010-12-02T10:07:27.017-06:002010-12-02T10:07:27.017-06:00I am with you Jamie, about holiday music so early....I am with you Jamie, about holiday music so early.
