Day 11- Believe

Polar Express was on again last night and it is one of my favorite Christmas movies!  I need to buy the soundtrack but just haven't gotten around to it.  And this song is just beautiful :)

Day 10- God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen/We Three Kings by Barenaked Ladies

This is one of my favorite versions of this song.  I love this song for the most part because it's in a minor key and just sounds... I can't think of the word I want.  But this version is awesome too, because it includes We Three Kings.  Just... love this song :)

Day 9- Home for the Holidays

It's only every other year that I get home for Christmas and this year I get to!  Aaron isn't really happy, but that's a lot because he doesn't like my parent's heating system.  It's not warm enough for him.

But in eleven days, I'll be back home in CT for Christmas and a whole week!

Day 7- Frosty the Snowman

This is another one of the Christmas specials I always try to catch.  When I was teaching strings, I had concerts just about every Tuesday and Thursday in December, so I missed it for two years.  I've caught it the past two years, and hopefully will this year, too.  Everybody together now... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Day 6- Winter Wonderland by Jason Mraz

Here's my wishful thinking for snow again today.  It was almost 70* today and it's the 6th of December.  I was walking around without a coat.  I don't like this!  Where is my snow?

And furthermore, I love Jason Mraz.  He was born and grew up in Mechanicsville, the town I teach in.  He went to the high school ( Read more... )

Day 5- I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

This is one of the cutest songs!  The husband had his band kids play this for their Winter Concert and it was adorable!

Day 4- 12 Days of Christmas

And... it's the Muppets version!  Seriously, who doesn't like the Muppets?  This has to be in the top 3 of my fave versions of this song. My other two faves are the 12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser and the 12 Days of Wizard Christmas by the Wrock Band Gred & Forge.  Love it!
