Crystal loves (almost all!) Christmas music

I cannot wait until that time of year when Thanksgiving rolls around and two of our local radio stations play it 24/7 for a whole month and a half!

Yes, I adore Christmas music and even consider myself a sort of connoisseur.

Here are some classics which are my absolute favorites:

• The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
• Feliz Navidad – Jose Feliciano
• Sleighride – Johnny Mathis
• Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt
• Rockin’ Around Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
• Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – James Taylor
• Christmas Canon – Trans-Siberian Orchestra

But then there are those I consider pretty creepy:

• Any Christmas song sung by Amy Grant, Jewel, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Josh Groban or The Carpenters
• “Mary Did You Know”, sung by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd
• Kenny G Christmas music
• “Little Drummer Boy” (any version) – don’t know why, but I cannot stand that song, especially the one where Bing Crosby and David Bowie sing a duet! Eeks!
• “Snoopy’s Christmas” – Royal Guardsmen
• “Last Christmas” by Wham!
• “Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town” – Bruce Springsteen
• “I Saw Mommy Kissin’ Santa Claus” – John Cougar Mellencamp
• “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid – what a load of white man bullsh*t!
• “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” – Gayla Peevey – Does this kid have a death wish!? Doesn’t she know hippos are the most dangerous animal KNOWN TO MAN?!?!
