a little too early...

I know, I know…it is way too early to be listening to Christmas music. And it doesn’t make it any better that I started listening at the beginning of this month. HALLOWEEN was still a month away. ACK!

I don’t usually do this, but I just randomly started craving some Christmas tunes. In fact, right now I’m listening to The Christmas Song by Michael Buble. For some reason I’m just really excited for the holidays this year. I’m not sure why though…everything is gonna be completely different this year but that’s OK. I’m really excited for what it will be. Right now I’m not planning on going back to Virginia but will probably go to Christy’s in Ogden. So I will get to play with my nephews! And holidays are so much more fun for little kids so that will be exciting.

Anyways, my one justification (the only one I can possibly have) for my early music listening, is to find the BEST Christmas music so that when the time comes that I can more regularly and more openly listen to it, I will have the best selection around! I also will probably send Susie a Christmas mix since she will be in Spain all by herself. So I need to get that ready relatively soon.

So let me know if you have any great holiday music suggestions. There are so many out there sung by so many different people. I’m also trying to find some holiday stuff by unknown artists so that’d be cool too.

The songs I’ve been listening to:
(These have players so you can listen if you wish!)

Taylor Swift’s Sounds of the Season
My ABSOLUTE favorite is her version of Silent Night. I actually don’t like the regular version of this song much. I think the melody is boring and you are forced to sing it way too often. So this song mixes it up a little and makes this probably my current No. 1 Christmas song.



Michael Buble’s Let it Snow
I’m only just starting listening to this, but it’s Michael Buble—the perfect voice for some of our classic Christmas songs.



N’Sync’s Home for Christmas
For years, I’ve always heard how great their Christmas CD is. There are a few good ones but I’m realizing that I’m actually not entirely impressed.



Jars of Clay: Drummer Boy
Barenaked Ladies: Jingle Bells
Death Cab for Cutie: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Mariah Carey: All I Want For Christmas is You
