Getting into the Spirit with music

Ok so I will be the first to admit it...I am a HUGE Holiday music nerd! I think it stems from all those years in the backseat of being infused with Christmas carol tapes by mom who was trying to keep from killing my brother who loved the old 'Im not touching you' routine so much, that he made me channel fantasies of saying 'I'm not clobbering you, i'm not clobbering you!'



Anyway I LOVE Christmas music. I started downloading songs to put on my player lol because it makes me happy. NERD I know. Anywya what are some of your favorite songs?

My ALL TIME FAVE as an adult is 'The twelve pains of Christmas' SOOOOOOO funny...OMG u have to hear it. Its hysterical.

My fave as a kid was :T'he Care Bears Xmas Album....LMAO. I used to 'skate' across the floor in my socks when I heard this lol. Too bad its a vinyl record or I'd be driving my DH nuts with it.
