Top 5 Favorite Christmas Songs

Zach is always picking on me, saying that anytime I pose a "What are your top 5 favorite...." question, that I always cheat and go over five. Well maybe I do (though I don't think it's cheating, it just means I love everyone/everything equally and don't want to leave anyone out because I'm a wonderful person). But today I'm going to limit myself to choosing my top 5 favorite Christmas songs. Which means that I have to go with my gut. Here they are in no particular order. 






Honorable Mention:
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
Blue Christmas – Elvis, though really it’s because I like the back up singer’s part
Christmas Don’t Be Late – Alvin and the Chipmunks

Now, Top 5 Christmas CAROLS (See what I did? Because Christmas carols and Christmas songs are different.)

It’s Not Even Thanksgiving Yet


And today I decided to compile my list of movies that I will be watching this Christmas season with the generous help of our local library, netflix, and perhaps, youtube.

So in no particular order, these are either movies about Christmas (i.e. traditional Christmas movies) or movies that evoke Christmas-y thoughts.

1. White Christmas

It’s a Classic with a capital C. Great story, great songs. "Sisters" as sung by Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby. Enough Said.



2. Prancer

I love this story. And Sam Elliot reminds me of my dad.
