We have numerous Christmas playlists made in i-Tunes: D's Christmas mix, (includes Country. BLEH!) Kid's Christmas mix, (Listen only if you want a nervous tick) Sunday Christmas mix, (Go MoTab! Just added the Christmas Devotional music to this one. Loved their version of "Oh Holy Night")...and the master "Christmas Songs" mix which has EVERYTHING--all the old stand-bys and favorites. Every single song.
THIS list is MY mix. These are the songs I never hear enough during the holidays. (Although a few are new additions and a few are strictly included so I can learn the words to sing them to my kids.)
Mock my choices if you must, but right now all the boys are out building a ginormous snow fort, and I'm rocking out to Wham! --about to make myself some Stephen's Gourmet Hot Chocolate. (I'll make SwissMiss for the boys later.)
I love Christmas time!!!!

Great list! (With the exception of Santa Baby. I hate that song in any arrangement...) but the rest are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful tree!
great idea thanks and merry christmas!
Liz,
Sam and I painted the little bell ornament in my post while we were in Kyoto. But the upcoming Bazaar will have lots of cute ornaments. Too late for your tree this year, but you'll have 'em for next year!
:)
Merry Christmas everyone!
You lost me at Mariah Carey.
I'm very disappointed in you.
Hey Felix,
I'm no fan of Mariah either, but I DO love that song...!
:)
I mean really, who doesn't love Wham! at Christmas?!
