Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano (this, more than anything, reminds me of driving out to Lemon Grove for Christmas Eve at my grandparents' house every year)<br />2. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - no one in particular. This was one of the first songs that Simon learned to sing. Adorable. And reminded me of learning it for Christmas pageants back in elementary school.<br />1. Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby and David Bowie. I am totally obsessed with this song.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641837231949735852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895311546986449322.post-83663763158847540802011-12-09T10:09:04.010-08:002011-12-09T10:09:04.010-08:00i just outed myself to kevin the other day that i ...i just outed myself to kevin the other day that i obviously like the mariah carey song - how can you not??<br /><br />doing a top five is hard. obviously i love all the classics, but it turns out that some of my personal favorites are a bit more random.<br /><br />5. christmas is coming - vince guaraldi trio<br />4. comfort and joy - simon and garfunkel<br />3. the friendly beasts - sufjan stevens<br />2. o holy night - nat king cole<br />1. have yourself a merry little christmas - frank sinatra<br /><br />i know it's sad, but it's still my all-time favorite.staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555728740108063952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895311546986449322.post-68069300729229713372011-12-09T07:11:16.836-08:002011-12-09T07:11:16.836-08:00Cara, I can only assume your "wow" means...Cara, I can only assume your "wow" means that you agree with all my choices. ;)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474307235868831506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895311546986449322.post-38595377720554642862011-12-09T06:24:38.513-08:002011-12-09T06:24:38.513-08:00Wow.Wow.Cara Hetrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441266499851732861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895311546986449322.post-30148951425720065572011-12-09T05:37:56.972-08:002011-12-09T05:37:56.972-08:005.

Baby, It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin. I realize this isn't really a Christmas song, and that the lyrics are a little problematic, but I still love it. <br />3. Kentucky Homemade Christmas - Kenny Rogers. Apparently, I have a thing for country Christmas songs. Who knew? <br />2. O Tannenbaum - Nat King Cole. I love when he busts out the German. <br />1. O Holy Night - Nat King Cole. Gives me chills every time.beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377789394023509837noreply@blogger.com
