I love Christmas music. I have quite a few favorites. Right now my favorite is It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year-Shift Remix by Andy Williams. I love this version of the song. I love how it's an updated version of a classic.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays Kim. Hope you and your family have a great time.
I really love Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" and the Peanuts' "Christmas Time is Here." Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday song is Silver Bells.

I really like "White Christmas" because it's a classic
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song are the traditional ones like "we Wish you a Merry Christmas" and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". Perfect for caroling!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Kim! You're Hawaiin 12 Days of Christmas is too cute! Can you please give me Alex O'Laughlin, please under a papaya tree? ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas song is Let It Snow. I like Harry Connick, Jr's version better than Bing Crosby's. His voice is just so, so "warming" to my soul when I hear him.
Take care and I'm wishing for your a very prosperous New Year!!
O Come Emannuel..it's sort of a weird song but I like it =) I also like lots of Mariah Carey's holiday songs. They're great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas song is White Christmas no matter what singer is singing it.
