It’s after Thanksgiving which means, time to put in the Christmas music! I was excited to uncheck all my tunes in my Christmas playlist, but here a few of the tunes I was most looking forward to hearing once again:

River- Joni Mitchell …this is my favorite Christmas song. Of all time. I have many versions but no one does it quite like Joni.

 

Merry Ex-mas – Lelia Broussard and Jake Newton…a couple top notch singer-songerwriters got together and wrote a killer x-mas tune. Fast becoming one of my favorites. Sometimes I cheat and listen to it out of season…

 

“Christmas Day” – Dido…my junior year in college I started every single day during the holiday season with this Christmas song sung by one of my favorite voices. I still think it’s the best way to start a wintery morning.

 

 “Christmas Is All Around” – Billy Mack… Love Actually is my favorite holiday movie. Actually it’s one of only two Christmastime films I really enjoy (the other being A Muppet Christmas Carol)

 

“Maybe This Christmas” – Ron Sexsmith…say what you will about The OC, but that show put out some great music including a Christmas soundtrack which has become one of my go to holiday albums. This song is one of the many gems from that album.

 

“Bittersweet Eve” – Belasana…you can tell I love the happy holiday songs… honestly, these songs make me happy. I swear!

 

“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” – Judy Garland…classic!
