The 25 days of holiday songs.

[Andrew Q Gordon]

Uff, almost missed it again sorry. I was singing this the other day to Baby Q as we were walking around the mall looking for a gift for her daddy - [no I was not shopping for myself ]

 

[comicfan]

Well we made it to day 20. With only five days left I wasn't sure where I wanted to head. Poor listener beware.

 

That is my father's favorite version

Well sometimes you need a little comedy with such a sad song.

[comicfan]

yet another version just cause I'm a buster. LOL

and naturally I had to post the one from The Year without a Santa Clause

 

[Lugh]

I need something relaxing tonight... so here it is.

 

[comicfan]

Which leads to day 21. Okay I'm going back to one of my favorite holiday cartoons for this. I'm giving you both parts of the song, so you can have a white or green Christmas or is that Heat Miser, Cold Miser Christmas?

 

Well first up is Cold

 

 

Then there is heat

 

[comicfan]

In 2008 there was a new cartoon called a Miser Brother's Christmas. So the two parts come as one.

This will be me tomorrow

[comicfan]

This will be me tomorrow

 

I like that song Red. Never heard it before.

Another day of being right up to the edge to post my selection, but this is a twofer.

 

Oh Holy Night - by Eric Cartman

 

[comicfan]

Day 22 - Winter songs abound, but for my family this song is done by one person only. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow by Dean Martin.

 

 

and I'm posting a bonus today because well I like this one too. Different song but one by Annie Lennox and you can't resist her voice.

Another one from when we were kids and my father would serenade the family with his horrible, off key voice as he sang along with the old Victrola 33rpm album.

 

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

 

Just because it's Christmas, here is the Jackson 5 doing this too.

World-wide interest in this forum has provoked an asymetrical one at MSNBC:

For a number of years at christmas, we went to Playa del Ingles and normally ended up in my cousin's bar in the Yumbo Centrum, and got bored to death by this song, and annoyed!

 

[Lugh]

so... here goes:

 

 

and because I feel like I'm in the trenches today....

 

[Red_A]

This because I think it is a beautiful song and very good singer in difficult circumstances

 

 

and because I like the song so much, this is a english version which I more often here

[Lugh]

[Lugh]

and I know Silent Night was done... but I really like these two versions:

 

this one is a statement of the times it was created in --

 

 

and this one --

 

 

 

well I just like it.

[Andrew Q Gordon]

Despite Lugh trying to make today the 25 days of Holiday Songs all by in one day, I'll just leave us with one:

 

 

I always thought this was funny/cute.

[Red_A]

As a sailor having been storm bound too many times for too long, on the cornish coast on this

Tom Bawcock's Eve it must be a cornish carol

 

 

[comicfan]

Day 23 - Wow we are getting close to the end of these aren't we. Oh well time for a song. Enjoy.

 

I'm posting two. The first is from Home Alone.

And, yes, The Christmas Waltz was originally done by Frank Sinatra, and it was written for him. However, I am a fan of how the Carpenter's did it. So here is their version.

 

[Red_A]

To me this was unusually, we heard it in the Eastside Meeting House in Bellevue Wa. That setting was unique, I do not think we will see it again.

Dec 24... Christmas Eve... Q10 is going to hate me for this but...

 

Two songs from each parent's POV... Mary first --

then Joseph --

 

[Lugh]

and because I really feel like Joseph got the short end of the stick... I'm including this one --

 

[comicfan]

Okay so it is day 24 or Christmas Eve. This is about as religious as I get. I love this version by Vanessa Williams.

 

[comicfan]

I'm sorry, when I wrote my list I had more than 25 just in case people picked my songs so I wouldn't repeat them. Well Lugh and Myr both took one by Natalie Cole but I still have more and only one day so bonusing up.

 

I Believe in Father Christmas - Sarah Brightman.

 

 

I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday - Wilson Phillips
