Holiday Playlists

[BlueStar]

Oh me too, me too!!!! I do hear I tunes calling me to come visit.....so many albums...so many songs.....I can't I can't. The kids have told me no music or DVDs til Christmas now!!!

I'm actually disappointed with the Glee Christmas album, try before you buy. The problem is the song choices and some of the interpretations, I only really like about half the songs. That said, I really loved the Glee Christmas episode! Funny and touching

I think any Christmas playlist ought to begin and end with this. I love it. Bing Crosby is the voice of Christmas, his singing reminds me of my grandad too.

I really enjoyed that episode as well. When it started, I had some trepidation, but, once I opened myself up to it, it won me over. It was very funny, and it tugged at the heartstrings in the best of ways.

Most christmas music goes over my head like background music, but this is one stand out track that when I hear it every year for the first time it officially begins the countdown to Christmas

A classic tune, I love it

I can see a better time
Where all our dreams come true.

This song is wonderful.
There are many Christmas or holiday songs that are familiar or pleasing to the ear, but this one is unabashedly direct---hitting not just one's ears, but the mind and the gut.

Yeah, I would never have watched anything like Glee until I kept getting recommendations from friends. It's now my favourite TV show. It's uplifting, feel-good and very funny (I love Sue).

The Christmas album grew on me a little after a couple of listens, although it's still not quite classic.

My Christmas playlist is taking shape. There are 2 main playlists - cheesy Christmas pop and the golden oldies. I'll share them later.

These are my favourite carols...

I LOVE Cocteau Twins, and was surprised and delighted to see that they had released a couple of Christmas cover songs. A beautiful, ethereal twist to these old classics. I love them!

I saved this one for last from me. It is hard to explain, but it truly strikes emotional chords with me, even though I heard it for the first time only two years ago. Some of you may be more familiar with it. (The song was written by Howard Blake.)

The music struck me so deeply that I sought its source and discovered this video (and more). It is not only beautiful, but it brushes up against my life-long desire for self-propelled flight, soaring throughout the universe.

I wish all of you hearts and spirits as full of joy as this music conjures in me.

I remember when my boys were younger they had the video film of this and loved it! It always holds fond memories for me.
Glad you discovered it Anjou, it is a good one.
