Fact: I am obsessed with holiday music. It’s the achilles heel to any semblance of normality I sometimes project. I can’t help it, my cheese-factor simply spins out of control as each bell jingles and violin hits a crescendo. So, it being J.C’s big birthday and all, I thought I would share the top five holiday ditties–in no particular order–blasting from my iTunes this holiday season.
- “All I Want for Christmas is Us” by Tristan Prettyman and Jason Mraz. This was stolen from Dave Birr and Kelly Bennion’s Riddim performance…so wonderful!
- “Somewhere in my Memory” by John Williams. Off of both Home Alone and Home Alone 2:Lost in New York soundtracks, because nothing says the holidays like fending off dumb criminals to protect your suburban home.
- “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole. A classic, even if chestnuts are gross.
- “That was the Worst Christmas Ever!” by Sufjan Stevens. Sad, but oh so good!
- “Amen” by George Frideric Handel. If you listen to this finale from “Messiah” and don’t get goosebumps, then you are not human
How about you guys? What songs am I missing? I am always searching for new delights….
