So, I have to be honest... I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I blame having worked in retail for so many Christmases. Being forced to listen to Christmas music for 8 hours a day starting a month before the actual holiday is not my idea of a good time. Anyways... I guess this has just made me very picky about what holiday music I do actually like. And, big surprise, it's mostly indie band's versions of classics or their own originals, not the usual stuff you tend to hear on those radio stations that play Christmas music 24/7 starting the day after Thanksgiving... The kind my Mom listens to, ugh! Don't worry, working retail didn't completely ruin my Christmas {music} spirit... I really like my "not your everyday" Christmas songs and I still love old classics like Bing Crosby's White Christmas, Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas, and let's not forget Baby It's Cold Outsidem which I so lovingly deem "the date rape song." Ha.
Happy Holidays! Cheers! Marianne.
