Christmas Songs...

Favourite! (But only in December. I absolutely hate that retailers start to play them November 1st... Perhaps we need a new holiday between Halloween and Christmas?)

As I settle in to watch a White Christmas (family xmas tradition #1), in my new houndstooth pj's (fam tradition #2), in the glow of our christmas tree angel (who, by the way, drives me nuts with the sporadic blinking schedule) I am so brain dead from the last...well, weeks, months, years, that all I can think to do is share my top 10 christmas songs... because who doesn't love a top 10 list!?

10. (all right you Chipmunks! Read to sing your song? I'll say we are! Yeah! Let's so it now! Okay, Simon? Okay! Okay, Theodore? Okay! Okay, Alvin? Alvin, ALVIN? OKAY!!!

The Chipmunk Song - The Chipmunks

9. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten, and children listen. To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

White Christmas - Bing Crosby

8. Last night I took a walk in the snow. Couples holding hands, places to go. Seems like everyone but me is in love. Santa, can you hear me?

Santa, Can You Hear Me? - Britney Spears

7. I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus. Underneath the mistletoe last night. She didn't see me creep. Down the stairs to have a peep. She thought that i was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep...

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause - Jimmy Boyd

6. This is the time of year, that we learn to give. And the greatest gift is learning to forgive. We will have the best time, we ever knew. If you forgive me and I forgive you...

I Don't Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You - 'N Sync

5. And this is how I see you. In the snow on Christmas morning. Love and happiness surround you. As you throw your arms up to the sky. I keep this moment by and by.

Wintersong - Canadian Tenors & Sarah McLachlan

4. I won't ask for much this Christmas. I won't even wish for snow. I'm just gonna keep on waiting. Underneath the mistletoe. I won't make a list and send it. To the North Pole for Saint Nick. I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click...

All I Want for Christmas Is You - Olivia Olson

3. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir. And folks dressed up like eskimos.

The Christmas Song - Michael Bublé

2. I really can't stay - baby, it's cold outside. I've got to go away - baby, it's cold outside. This evening has been - been hoping that you'd drop in. So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice. My mother will start to worry - beautiful, what's your hurry. My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar. So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry. Well, maybe just a half a drink more - put some music on while I pour...

Baby It's Cold Outside - Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel

1. Open your heart now. This is the time for us to give. The world needs love now. So live and let live, families all here. The spirit is good cheer, the song of carolers. Ringing sweet in my ear, everything is all fine. You know why? it's Christmas time!

Christmas Time - Christina Aguilera

So ... Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
