Holiday hit list: Songs on my iPod

December 3, 2012 By Courtney


Since the day after Thanksgiving I’ve been in full-on Christmas mode. I swear my favorite things about the season have nothing to do with gifts.

Well, I do like to shop and give to others, but the truth is- I LOVE the music, the movies, the food, the decorations, the sights, the sounds…all of that good stuff!
(Check out my post from last December with my favorite Christmas movies!)

While at work I stream my holiday Pandora channel on my computer, and at home, I cook and clean to music I’ve downloaded on my iPod.

Most probably think of the classics when listening to Christmas music, but I have branched out a bit because I listen to it all the time.

So, I thought I’d share what’s on my “Holiday Hit List” because they’re not necessarily songs you’ll hear on the radio.

If you’re looking for a song that’s new to you, or just plain ol’ different, you might want to check these out!

All I Want For Christmas Is You
By Michaela Buble (Holiday)

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
By Sarah McLachlan (Wintersong)- I’m obsessed with this entire CD!

Christmases When You Were Mine
By Taylor Swift (The Holiday Collection)

Christmas Canon
By Trans-Siberian Orchestra (The Christmas Trilogy)

Winter Wonderland

By Jason Mraz (A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 7)

Santa Baby
By Eartha Kitt (Purrfect- The Eartha Kitt Collection)

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
By Zooey Deschanel (Elf: Music from the motion picture)

Where Are You Christmas?
By Faith Hill (Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas)

Please Come Home for Christmas
By Martina McBride (A Very Special Christmas 25th Anniversary)

    My entire Christmas Pandora station is Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nate King Cole, major classics. It isn’t too common for me to like current artists’ songs! But I just LOVE Christmas music!!! Makes me so happy!

    Looks like we have a lot of similarities on our Christmas play list! I am so into Pandora on my i-everything! We have been listening to Christmas music since the first week of November. There is even a station on the car’s satellite radio that play christmas music 24/7!

    LOVE THESE. I also have a “winter playlist” with great versions of songs and there are handful of your songs that are on my list as well! Great choices! I’ll have to go look at my other computer to throw some more ideas your way of other great ones. Thanks for the suggestions!
