Merry Christmas, Love Becca

Hi Maggie,
This is the list Katie and I made.  Please download and burn to a CD for our Christmas Eve listening pleasure.

1. White Christmas- The Drifters
2. Baby it's Cold Outside- NOT Dean Martin
3. Jingle Bell Rock- (I don't know if this should still be on the list.  Katie thought this was the title for Rockin Around the Xmas Tree.)
4. Santa Baby- Eartha Kitt (Madonna version should beoutlawed)
5. All I Want for Xmas is You- Love Actually Soundtrack
6. So This is Christmas
7. The Xmas Song- Nat King Cole
8. Something by Josh Groban (for Grandma)
9. What are you Doing New Year's Eve- Mel Torme (Feel free to ignore this. Katie made me listen to it and put it on the list but it sounds like Santa had too much wine and forgot the words.)
10. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas- Margaret Whiting
11. Something by Bing Crosby (Perhaps Snow from White Christmas? Poor Vera Ellen. Don't worry honey. You can dance!*)
12. Let it Snow
13. Winter Wonderland
14. Peanuts Christmas Song (The one with words.)
15. I'll be Home for Christmas
16. Blue Christmas- Elvis (This is Katie again.  I had nothing to do with it.)
17. Rockin Around the Xmas Tree-Home Alone Soundtrack
18. That's What I Want for Xmas

That's all we could think of.  Thank Phillip for us!
Love, Becca

*My sister Becca recently watched the DVD of 'White Christmas' with commentary by Rosemary Clooney. I haven't seen it myself, but Rebecca pretty much recited the commentary word for word and OH MY GOD IT IS HILARIOUS. (Only if you know all the words to the 'Sisters' song. If not, it's possible you may not find it so amusing. You are probably also really sad and lonely.) (Oh and once Rebecca acted out 'The Ring' for me and even THAT was too scary for me to watch. Someone has some untapped talent, I think.)

Oh, and I'm supposed to add my requests. Any favorites?

Comments

I'm dumb. I always like classical/instrumental Christmas music. (e.g. The Nutcracker)

I'm with you on the Peanuts soundtrack songs though. Yay!

(p.s. I don't know how into rap you or your grandma are, but there's a version out there somewhere of Snoop Dogg (or a good impersonator) performing "Christmastime in the L.B.C.". This was my favorite for a long time.)

the virgin mary was roly poly. apparently according to google lore, the performer is actually jimmy kimmel. not sure if i believe that or not.

the only christmas song i get stuck in my head every year is eric cartman singing oh holy night. seriously, it's really hard for me to sing that song without doing it in the cartman style.

also, have yourself a merry little christmas makes me hells of sappy. what can i say? it's a touching sentiment!

I can't have Snoop, Eric Cartman and my grandma in the same room! What are you people thinking?!?!

I forgot about O Holy Night...that's a good one too :)
