For those of you new to my Holiday Advent Blog, one of the traditions that I’ve always made a habit of posting (almost) every year is a mix tape of sorts that features some of my favorite Christmas songs across a variety of themes. Over the years we’ve had:
- 2011 – Volume 1 – Holiday Memories
- 2012 – Volume 2 – Muppets!!!
- 2013 – Volume 3 – Something Old, Something New
- 2015 – Volume 4 – A Classic Christmas
I suppose that this year’s playlist could be most aptly described as Eccentric Christmas because not for nothing, but there are only so many Christmas songs for a guy to choose from out there!!! I tried to pick some different tracks that haven’t been included in past lists … something that I may not be able to sustain much longer … but in the meantime, here’s an interesting list of fun songs that definitely jump the tinsel-encapsulated shark near the end – in a fun way, though. 😉
- All I Want for Christmas Is You (by Mariah Carey)
- Linus and Lucy (by Vince Guaraldi)
- Happy Christmas – War is Over (performed by Jimmy Buffett)
- Christmas Canon (by Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
- A Holly, Jolly Christmas (performed by Alan Jackson)
