Since the holiday season is upon us, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Christmas songs. I'm not religious at all, and I realize everyone reading this might not celebrate Christmas. But some of the songs that come out of this holiday are great ones.
My favorite Christmas song is Dar Williams, "The Christians and the Pagans". It's a song about coming together despite having beliefs that differ, which should be what this holiday season is about, if you ask me.
Here's Sufjan Stevens', "Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance". I love this:
I think one of the more beautiful, modern day Christmas songs is, "River", by Sarah Mclachlan:
An all-time favorite of mine is the classic, "Happy Christmas", by John Lennon:
Also always enjoyable is "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses:
And another lovely one is Sara Bareilles' "Wintersong" with Ingrid Michaelson:
I also love "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Death Cab for Cutie:
And another cool one is "Last Christmas", the Jimmy Eat World version:
Finally, from Bright Eyes, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas":
There are other great Christmas/holiday songs to be found online as well. I like a lot of the punk rock and indie versions of Christmas songs.
I hope you enjoy listening to some of these, and thank you for everyone who has come here and read my blog this year, and every year since 2005. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that, and I hope you have a great time over the holidays.
