Taking a lead from Life.Love and posting my favorite Christmas songs of the moment! (I can't have favorites of all time, that changes literally all the time. Links are to youtube videos, some of which are fun to watch too. The first and the last are pretty special though. If you want to make your own, then you link up with Shauna at Life.Love :)
1. Carol of the Bells - Mannheim Steamroller: a creepy instrumental version. PLUS the video I found for this is awesome. I'll just let you embrace it and not give spoilers. Trust guys.
3. River - Robert Downey Jr. : from the only good season of Ally McBeal (shhh sorry I'm fun)
4. Where are you Christmas - Faith Hill : From How The Grinch Stole Christmas
5. Christmas Tree - Lady Gaga: You have to appreciate Lady Gaga/have a sense of humour to appreciate this. It's dirty but fun ;)
6. Believe -Josh Groban : from the movie Polar Express. His voice is so deep and sexy but still innocent.
7. Only Hope - Mandy Moore: I KNOW, I know, it's super embarrassing that I like this song. I'm also not sure it's technically Christmas but she sings it during the Christmas play in A Walk To Remember. It's also embarrassing that I like that movie. There are other versions of this that are equally good. Help me find them!
8. Carol of the Bells - John Williams : the Home Alone version aka the traditional version
9. Christmas Time Is Here - from A Charlie Brown Christmas : it sounds so sad, but I can play this on piano :) ...or could.
10. Silent Night - all Instrumental versions: but if we need something specific then Enya's
11. Carol of the Bells - Hayley Westenra: I just discovered this! Not too creepy but not too traditional either
I'll find tons of other creepy instrumental christmas music, but I'll just leave you with this one for my twelfth. Enjoy ;)
12. Jingle Bell Rock - Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chalbert: this one's just necessary.

Only Hope makes me cry EVERY TIME! I have to admit, I am a massive fan of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. It reminds me of my youth AND Christmas at the same time...what more could you want?!
ReplyDeletelove carol of the bells...i have never heard of lady gaga's song...i will have to look it up!
ReplyDeleteMiranda, It's a little bit dirty. But in a fun way :)
ReplyDeleteand Sar, totally with you on the crying part. Most of the Christmas songs I like are from TV or movies for that reason :)
I love all the Carol of the bells!
