This one is just BEAUTIFUL....especially the Pentatonix version. The lyrics are so pure and they always send shivers down my spine. It's haunting, but in a good way. Favorite lyric:
When you kissed your little baby
You kissed the face of God
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't hear this song! I don't know if I can say specifically why I like it, it's just so icy and snowy and cozy. Favorite lyric:
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
I've heard of a lot of people that really dislike this song. I love it! My mom and I listen to the version by Eartha Kitt. I think it's funny- even though you shouldn't get as caught up in presents as the girl in the song is! Favorite lyric:
A '54 convertible too
Light blue
I've always grown up listening to this one and it would feel wrong not to include it. I have this miniature movie of what the whole song looks like inside my head....Favorite lyric:
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
This was one of the first Christmas song I learned to play on my guitar, so it has a special place for me. Favorite lyric:
And every mother's child
Is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
Really know how to fly
There's something magical about this song. Every Christmas Eve, we sing it at church with candles. It's all dark, and we hold them up, and know that Jesus is coming soon. Favorite lyric:
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is quiet
Round yon virgin
Mother and Child
I just heard of this one this year, on the Pentatonix album. It's completely and utterly gorgeous. Favorite lyric:
I listen for the thud of reindeer
Walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies
The morning's coming soon
I just love the whole entirety of this song....Favorite lyric:
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye
O come ye
To Bethlehem
Just last night, I watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the first time, and I now have a whole new sympathy for Rudolph. THEY WERE SO MEAN TO HIM!! Favorite lyric:
But then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose to bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Seriously? How could I almost not mention the classic-est one ever? Favorite lyric:
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way (ha ha ha)
2 MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!
