Christmas Countdown: The Christmas Music List Day 7

To match my totally anti-Christmas mood, I’ve decide today’s song would be this classic.

The song is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft, aka the voice of Tony the Tiger. Totally awesome.

More British glam rock. Or it could be circus clowns who somehow ended up on Top of the Pops. I’m not really sure. But it’s Wizzard with “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday”. Enjoy.

Another request cam in, and I’ll throw it in the list even if it isn’t on my personal list. It’s the Waitresses with “Christmas Wrapping”, and I’ve found a lighting display to go with it. This is for someone’s DH, and I hope it’ll help him feel better.

Now, my pick for today is for my daughters, who love this song to bits. It is the Chipmunks. Come on, you love it, too.

Christmas Countdown: The Christmas Music List

I’m three days behind my daily list (love life). My kids and I have decorated our tree and began eating the chocolate out of the advent calendars. And the girls are listening to the Glee Christmas album with shrieks of delight.  So, I’m here to give the next three songs and catch up to the day. Yes, folks, it is a musical advent calendar for you.

First off, I would like to dedicate the next one to my lovely, charming BFF Jayme, who loves this song, as do I. There is no way this duet should have worked. But it does.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written melody composed by Adolphe Adam and the best know version is with the poetic lyrics of one John Sullivan Dwight. It’s a hymn that people love to sing but few can sing well. There is that note, after all, that only dogs and Celine Dion can hear. I went with my favourite version, by the legendary Nat “King” Cole.

Finally, a modern Christmas classic that just makes me smile. It’s terrible. Just terrible. But it is Bill Nighy.

Ah, Christmas. I may hate the actual day itself, but I love the music.

Yeah, you don’t look all that shocked by either of those things,

This year I’ll be playing you some of my favourite Christmas songs ever. Some of them reflect the only time I ever actually like going to Church was at Christmas, or that I love Slade, or that I really love the Pogues.

We will start with the U.K. christmas classic, with Noddy Holder and gang bringing us glam and poor spelling with “Merry Christmas Everybody”, the one time Noddy didn’t misspell something.

Glædelig jul!
