Love the Holidays! And the season's music always makes me feel warm and happy. Hearing "Sleigh Ride" performed instrumentally makes me think back to High School Band and the lift I'd get from us playing that in each year's Christmas Concert. Loved to hear the drummer's slap the wood for a nice resounding whip crack, and just felt lifted by the harmony, finishing with Trendel T doing the horse neigh on his trumpet to close. Just made my Christmas. Thanks Mr. A for insisting we play that one each year!
"Come all ye Faithful" feels very spiritual and moving, as I stand with family in the church for the midnight service...
Yet I can't stand all the sappy renditions of pop Holiday tunes by current artists! Don't they realize that no one is ever going to do it better than Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby and Dean Martin and all those guys??!!??
"... Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." Sing it Nat!!!!

Nostalgic? I would have to say 'O Holy Night"... I remember being in the church play and hearing that song on every Christmas Eve and having such a feeling of overwhelming glory. That THIS is THE night remembered every year for this special reason.
Favorite? Lord have mercy, there are soooo many.. but I'll go with some classics of Silent Night, Adeste Fidelas, of course, and Hark the Herald Angels sing. I also love the goofy ones like Grandma got ran over by a raindeer, those always make the kids giggle.
The ones that make me cringe, would have to be Christmas Carol, Me and little Andy, as well as hard Candy Christmas. Sniff sniff.. those just crack me up in a sad way... why do people make sad Christmas songs anyways?
I completely agree on the new songs... they will never hold a candle to what was so wonderfully sang by Nat King Cole!

Oh I totally agree with you! I love all the classics - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, White Christmas, the Chipmunk Song.
I can't stand the ones by Hilary Duff or 'N Sync. I absolutely love Christmas and Thanksgiving and the songs just put me in the xmas spirit!
