Writer's Block: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Aaahh, I love Christmas music. Oddly enough, despite not being a hugely religious person (I believe in God and I like a lot of the rituals, but I'm not particularly rigid or dogmatic), most of my favorite Christmas songs are religious, with one or two exceptions.

In no particular order:

1. Mary, Did You Know?
2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
3. O Holy Night
4. O Come All Ye Faithful/Adeste Fidelus
5. Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel
6. Little Drummer Boy
7. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
8. Carol of the Bells
9. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

There are "poppy" Christmas songs I like, too, though give me a quirky re-working of one of the above and I'll likely love it just as much. I do NOT like songs like "Rudolph" or "Frosty" or any of those; I have a soft spot in my heart/mind for the Christmas specials (well, not Frosty, screw him. I have always had an irrational dislike of Frosty. No, I can't explain. Some long buried trauma involving sentient snowmen, I suspect), but if one of those songs come on the radio and I have ANY say in the matter, we will switch to another station.

lol :) Hi there, I agree with you totally. If you can, check out the Christmas music by NewSong, Third Day, and Nicole C. Mullen. Pandora can also give you other artists that are similar and very uplifting.

I hope you have a blessed holiday season, with joy and songs in your heart. -Cindy
