All Christmas Songs

Neil Diamond was a favorite musician of my mother and father.  They always liked to tell the story of the first concert they went together was a Neil Diamond concert, where cannon balls were shot into the air.  I think my mother also liked him so much because her name was Caroline.  She was our [...]

A few years ago my husband played his favorite Christmas song for me – The Pogues “Fairytale of New York”.  I have to be honest, at first I wasn’t in love with it.  But then I listened, and listened some more, and now it is one my favorites too.  Having a lot of Irish in [...]

Here is a beautiful little Christmas number performed by Coldplay. I have to admit I am a Coldplay fan.  I enjoy that their music is not too abrasive.  Often I will love a band, and then all the sudden they get crazy on me and will throw in an abrasive song with heavy guitars or [...]

I have loved the angelic songs of Enya for many years.  During the holidays, and especially Christmas time, I crave soft and sweet songs.  Here is a magical hymn from Enya to enjoy!  Oh, and the by the way just listening to this today prompted me to buy And Winter Came.  

“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the Christmas song composed in 1966 for the infamous movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  The iconic song was composed by Albert Hague and performed by the one and only Thurl Ravenscroft.  What would a Christmas music website be without this song?  Enjoy!

She & Him is the Indie love child of musicians Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward.  One of my favorite songs of theirs is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas of their album A Very She & Him Christmas which was released earlier this year!

Wham! was a British musical duo formed by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.  Although the band was short lived they sold over 25 million records from 198-1986.  Here is Wham! singing “Last Christmas”.

I love Home Alone and watch it every Christmas.  One song in particular from the movie that stands out to me is, “O Holy Night”.  I still get teary-eyed every time I watch the scene in the church with the little girl signing to her estranged grandfather.  You know the scene, the “sad scene”.  Anyways, [...]

Whether its in a majestic cathedral, a school auditorium or a shopping mall, there’s nothing like a familiar Christmas melody to put a person in the holiday spirit. Its amazing how the familiar strains of Silent Night or Joy to the World create feelings of joy, hope and peace. Why does Christmas music evoke such [...]
