I absolutely love Christmas music! Call me a dork but I listen to Christmas music pretty much continuously from Thanksgiving to New Year's (who says the joy of Christmas has to end at midnight on December 25?). I have a Holiday playlist on my iPod and it plays all the time...in the morning when I'm getting ready, on the way to school, in the media center or in my office, on my way home...you get the drift. I'm not lying when I say I love Christmas music.
Like most people, I have my favorites...and I also have the songs I really hate to hear...can anyone say "Christmas Shoes"? I can't hear that song without welling up and boo-hoo-ing like a baby. It has been played so much over the last few years that I am sick of it. And apparently, I'm not the only one. I've had the same conversation with at least 3 different groups of people...that song needs to be banned from the radio...not because it's a bad song, but because we get all weepy and look like morons when we hear it!
So back to my favorites. Yesterday officially started the "12 Days of Christmas" so I thought I would share my favorite 12 Christmas songs...in no particular order. I'll try to post one a day...we'll see if I can keep this up for 12 days. Since I am already a day behind, I'll have to catch up and post 2 one day...but not today.
M. Joy's 12 Favorite Songs of Christmas
#12
"I Believe in Santa Claus"
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers
From "Once Upon A Christmas"
When I was growing up, we watched this Kenny and Dolly Christmas special every year when it came on. We even recorded it so somewhere in my parents' basement it a VHS tape of this fabulous show. A few years ago I was reminded of it and found the soundtrack on iTunes...and you had better believe that I hit the "Buy" button pretty quickly. "I Believe in Santa Claus" is by far my favorite song of the entire show and yes, I can sing the entire thing! I may be 32 years old, but there is still something magical about Santa Claus.
