Liz’s Rants: Our favorite holiday music

Kate — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 05:09:15 +0000

Back by popular demand Kate and I bring you a few of our favorite songs of the season. We like a little bit of everything music-wise – old, new, sappy, peppy, traditional, edgy – you name it! And if truth be known, I suspect we’ve both been listening to Christmas music since waaay before Thanksgiving even arrived.

Stop for a moment and try to imagine what the holidays would be like without Christmas music. So many of our traditions and memories are tied to the music of the season.

With that in mind, we’ll be featuring a few of our all-time favorites, in no particular order, today through Christmas. And we are probably gonna think of another 3,000 favorites as soon as we post these. Nevertheless, here are a few of our “never get tired of” tunes that seem to get us through the season.

Meanwhile on to the music:

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” by Zooey Deschanel and Leon RedBone

“Oh Holy Night” by Celine Dion

” Celebrate Me Home” by Kenny Loggins

“God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” by Mannheim Steamrollers

“Song for a Winter’s Night” by Sarah Mclachlan

So there are a few to get you started. Be sure to drop us a line and let us know some of your favorites, too! And tune in again tomorrow for more of our favorite Christmas music!

Liz and I have been talking (obviously – since we did announce our commemoration of Humbug Day on Monday).

Stop for a moment and try to imagine what the holidays would be like without Christmas music. So many of our traditions and memories are tied to the music of the season.

We thought you might enjoy a few days of our favorite Christmas songs. So we’ve decided to list 20 of our all-time favorites, in no particular order. And we are probably gonna think of another 3,000 favorites as soon as we post these. Nevertheless, here are a few of our “never get tired of” tunes that seem to get us through the season.

We’ll be posting five a day, now through Christmas, providing you with some classics you’re sure to know, as well as some other songs that you may not be familiar with. We’d love to know what you think. What holiday music inspires you? Be sure to leave your comments below.

Meanwhile here is our third set of five songs.

“Winter Wonderland” by Jason Mraz

“Better Days (A Home for the Holidays) by The Goo Goo Dolls

“Do You Hear What I Hear” by Whitney Houston

“White Christmas” by Bing Crosby

“We Need a Little Christmas” by the Muppets

(Liz says while there are other versions of this song, the Muppets version is her hands-down favorite. Sounds just like her, doesn’t it?)

Now, go turn on some Christmas music and get to bed early, ‘cuz Santa Claus is coming to town… tonight!!
