…my aunt’s birthday!

Happy Birthday Charleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeene!

Today is also “Go Caroling Day”

My favorite holiday songs are:

Santa Baby (Earth Kitt version)

O Holy Night (I get chills whenthat high note is hit)

Up on the House Top (Gene Autry and The Jacksons)

The Twelve Days of Christmas featuring John Denver and The Muppets

Winter Wonderland

Wonderful Christmas time (Simply, Having, a wonderful Christmas Time!)

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Jingle Bell Rock

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Some carols are a bit depressing.

Depending on who sings the song can make the difference between four minutes of cheer and egg nog from the carton and four minutes of wishing for laced nog in a glass. These are some of the songs that always make me want to curl up and cry like a lost little girl in the mall.

Sarah McLaughlin’s version of I’ll Be Home for Christmas.

The Little Drummer Boy always makes me want to hug bad kids.

The Jacksons singing Give Love on Christmas Day makes me want to make amends for sins old and new.

And the coup de gras, It’s Christmas Charlie Brown. The Peanuts always depress me. It’s something about these kids all alone with seemingly no parental supervision. When Christmastime is Near comes on I lose it. I want t atone for each and every wrong, real or perceived and depending on my mood, we don’t watch many Peanuts.

    I agree Sarah can be pretty damn depressing sometimes. The peanut gand, although hilarious are also huge downers at times. Let’s just stick with happy tunes. ☺

    We were discussing at cookie night how no one but Eartha Kitt should be allowed to sing Santa Baby. Of course, that didn’t stop me and Chrissy from singing it with marshmallows stuffed in our mouths.
