Most people do, in small amounts at least.
But I could listen to it all year and be perfectly happy. I have a long standing habit of always listening to a few Christmas songs sometime in July, and I usually break them out again right after Halloween and listen all the way through the middle of January!
Right now the first ten Christmas songs on my iPod are:
1. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - Casting Crowns
2. Pat-a-Pan - David Archuletta
3. Riu Riu Chiu - David Archuletta
4. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Glee Cast
5. Oh Holy Night - Glee Cast
6. Oh Santa! - Mariah Carey
7. Mary's Boy Child - Little River Band
8. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - 98 Degrees
9. The 12 Days of Christmas (Live) - Straight No Chaser
10. Carol of the Bells - Straight No Chaser
Do you like Christmas music? What are your favorite songs - or favorite versions of songs?
I love Christmas music! I agree, I usually crave some around middle of summer so will secretly listen to a cd hehehe
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite songs are Carol of the Bells, First Noel, Do you hear what I hear, and Dominick the Christmas Donkey. I tend to prefer hymns over carols. Normally I like artist interpretation, but I wish singers would just leave Christmas music alone and sing it the way its written.
I like most Christmas music. Some stuff can get repetitive over the holidays. My favorite song is cheesy: Feliz Navidad by Boney M. Growing up, our neighbors played it all the time. That song itself holds all of Christmas for me.
ReplyDelete@~Ang Dominick the Christmas Donkey? That's a new for me, I'll have to check that out! Thanks!!
ReplyDelete@Christine Rains I do like that song, but I don't think I've ever heard that particular version - Another one that I'll have to check out!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of it either until I moved from the west into RI and Italian country. Its super cute though, I can't help but smile and giggle everytime I hear it!
ReplyDeleteI love Straight No Chaser - they're so brilliant!
