I really enjoyed the 4 hour reel Sandra shared last year, but so many of the songs are so old and odd that I finally had to move on to some more contemporary tunes. I never even thought to look it up again.
- What are your favorite Christmas songs?
- Do you have a regular playlist? I do! I still use a CD player with my disc changer and leave it on shuffle if I’m working at home. 😀
I’m all over the place with Christmas music – it really depends on the day, the occasion, my mood, what food we’re eating, are we at home or listening on the radio? – there are just sooooooooo many factors!
BUT, I do like to wait until at least the day after Thanksgiving!
I LOVE so many of the old standards, but I also love a country Christmas and Mannheim Steamroller. I also LOVE Christmas carolers, not that you see many these days. Many years ago I was even part of the hand bell choir at church for Christmas programs.
As for some of MY favorite songs I have a few that top the list, including a few newer artists:
- It’s Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas

LMBO, nope not talented, but I will give you dedicated 😀 I was always a bundle of nerves! I don’t play any other instruments and don’t even sing in the shower if I’m the only one home! I completely forgot about that Jimmy Buffet song! Now I’ll go search it out 😀
Wow, you must be very talented to have been part of a handbell choir! J and I usually go to a handbell concert each year (we’re going to one next Friday actually) and they are amazing. My favorite Christmas song is Holly Jolly Christmas but only the version by Burl Ives. When my boys were little, I always said my favorite song was Ho, Ho, Ho, and a Bottle of Rum (Santa’s run off to the Caribbean) by Jimmy Buffett. Loved that Christmas CD. Though I am with you on it really depending on my mood and what I’m doing. And I also, typically wait until after Thanksgiving.
