I am a firm believer that music can really effect your mood. If I listen to sad songs I will be in a sulky mood for a while, but when I listen to happy songs, I can't help but smile and dance. That's what Christmas songs do for me. They really help get me into the Christmas spirit! I definitely have my favorites, but I enjoy listening to just about all of them. Although I must admit, there is one song I will change every single time it comes on.... "The Christmas Shoes". It's a beautiful song, it really is but MAN, does it bum me out and kill the mood for me.
My ultimate favorite song is: "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" - Brenda Lee
If that song doesn't get you in the mood than I don't know what will!
A close second to that one is "Baby, It's Cold Outside". I just love how flirty and fun it is.
I will also listen to anything Christmas-y by Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Pentatonix, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. Don't judge me! I'm all over the place!
What are some of your favorites??
My all time fave is "Little Drummer Boy" by Anne Murray :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh that's a good one too!
ReplyDeleteMusic is therapy!! My parents used to always play Amy Grant's Christmas album so I'm still a sucker for that. She does a good version of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree! Oh, and I'm always down for Josh Groban. I love the song "Believe" from Polar Express.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun list of favorite songs!! I don't think I can choose just one! I just heard a new-to-me version of "Baby it's Cold Outside" on the radio yesterday by Michael Buble and Idina Menzel (LOVE her), and while that hasn't ever been my favorite Christmas song, I totally loved their version of it!

ReplyDeleteOhhh I never heard that version, I'm going to have to look it up now! I love both Idina and Michael Buble so I'm sure I will love it! lol
ReplyDeleteIt really is!! I don't think I ever heard Amy Grant's version but I may have to! lol! It's such a fun song! Josh Groban has an amazing voice. It doesn't look like a voice like that could even come out of him. haha
ReplyDeleteRocking around the Christmas tree is one of my favorites too!! It always gets me in a good mood :)
