I am older than Lady Gaga. I feel like a failure as a human being.
As the season is approaching (blah), I have decided to make a list of what I deem to be the ultimate Christmas songs. My holiday season is not complete without these songs, and I really do mean that. I can't listen to Christmas music until I get into the "spirit", but I also do not truly get into the Christmas spirit without these songs. These are in no particular order, by the way.
* "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - Judy Garland
* "White Christmas" - Bing Crosby
* "Silent Night" - Stevie Nicks
* "Carol of the Bells" - choral version
* "Merry Christmas Darling" - The Carpenters
* Bette Midler's entire "Cool Yule" album
* "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Judy Garland and Bing Crosby
* "Christmas Don't Be Late" - The Chipmunks (Yes, seriously.)
It also helps to watch White Christmas. I would have put the song "Snow" from that movie on my list, but that song is not available ANYWHERE. And I do mean anywhere, because I have looked. Naturally, that song has been recorded, but you cannot find the version from the movie. Apparently when they originally released the soundtrack for White Christmas, they recorded it WITHOUT Rosemary Clooney and with Peggy Lee instead. Don't get me wrong. I like Peggy Lee. But she is not Rosemary Clooney. How hard is it to pull the audio from a print of White Christmas and release it on disc?
