Sealed with a Song

"Do you have any favorite Christmas songs?" - Anon


I do have a few that I simply must hear around Christmas. Most of them include things such as the entire soundtrack from Charlie Browns Christmas special, the Grinch Song, The Snow Miser/ Heat Miser Song. Random stuff like that.

I do also enjoy like celebrity versions of classic carols as well as one's they've done themselves. Such as Faith Hill's "Where are You Christmas?" from the soundtrack of The Grinch and Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas is you." But this isn't all. it's simply not Christmas without hearing Marylin Monroe's 'Santa baby'. As well as listening to Disney stars sing Christmas carols.

I am also a very big fan of classical Christmas hymns played around the holiday, such as pieces from Handel's "the Messiah", and instrumental renditions of some classical songs. I usually enjoy Christmas songs done on harps or pipes or with an almost medieval sound to the instruments. I really think it helps capture the old Pagan feel to the holiday or Yule, as it is known.
