Best of Holiday Music


With Christmas only week away, it’s officially time to break out my mix tape of my favorite holiday songs. I really try to avoid Christmas music more than a week from the holiday because it always seems I get burned out from it if I start listening to it after Thanksgiving, which most department store start to play them. Even today as I listened to my personalized Yahoo radio station (see the link in my sidebar to listen to it yourself) I heard three different versions of The Christmas Song. But anyways. Hear are my favorite holiday tunes that easily fit on a single CD and feel free to leave a comment letting me know some of your favorite holiday tunes:

    Hmm, I'll add: "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Ann Margaret and Al Hirt. While not exactly a Christmas song, it's certainly a seasonal one.

    Hey there - I just dropped by to say that I'm sorry I didn't select your bid for a Blogexplosion billboard. It wasn't anything personal, so please feel free to bid again in the future. I listed a link to everyone that bid in my post welcoming the winner, so you still got some exposure. I hope that you'll drop by and check it out.

    Peace,
