What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
Submitted by Roxy.
I'm a southern girl, so naturally, it's the Alabama Christmas album. (Naturally.) From that, it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite. "Christmas in Dixie" is classic. "Thistlehair the Christmas Bear" was my favorite when I was little, so it holds a special place in my heart. "Happy Holidays" reminds me of making holiday cut-out cookies with my mom and my sister. "Christmas Memories" ... makes me cry now. (sigh)
I tried to listen to that album while I was baking the other day. I had to switch to something else. Turns out, I can't handle listening to that if I'm not at home, surrounded by my family. That's special, though. I don't mind. I'll keep that a family thing.
I admit, the one thing that got me through my hectic travels over
Thanksgiving ... was Christmas music. Interestingly, I love the
Kenny G Christmas stuff. (I bought some massive pack of songs
through iTunes last year.) My favorites from those: "The First
Noel," "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria." There's something about
all these ... I find myself taking a deep breath and relaxing without
concious effort.
