It's that time of year...Christmas music abounds. And if you hate it, I'm sorry. But if you love it then this time of year is all yours.
I do agree there is a fine line between too early but usually, for me anyway, Christmas music makes me feel good and brings happy memories. So I will listen to it before Thanksgiving in moderation but for the most part I'm ready for the carols after turkey day. (and if my iTunes starts to play a holiday song any other time of year because its on my playlist I shut it down.)
But choosing a favorite, well that's a whole other thing, but here I go! White Christmas by Bing Crosby makes me nostalgic and brings me happy but sad memories. The movie White Christmas was one of my mom's most favorite movies. She and I would stay up late to watch it when I was a kid as it was usually shown on Saturday nights as the late movie starting at 10:30. To this day my mom is the one person who comes to mind when I hear that version of the holiday favorite.
My favorite song to sing along to is Hey Santa, and I'm not sure who sings it, but I love to listen to it and it just makes me wanna sing along. No reasons here, just does.
The song that brings me the most peace at this time of year is Silent Night and it really does not matter who sings it, as long as it is done the way it is meant to be done then I'm good with it.
No judging here! At least two of these songs are my favorites because of my childhood and probably my mom is the biggest influence for them. I just know they make me happy!
The worse...well I've got a couple, Grandma got run over by a reindeer-not sure who sings that one, too hillbilly and corny. And the all time worse Christmas song for me-Christmas in Iowa by a girl/sister group from Iowa or Nebraska...it sours my holiday spirit on the first note!!!
Remember to keep a song in your heart!!
