My Christmas Playlist by Megan Slayer
I thought I’d pull together a list of my favorite Christmas songs. I’m kind of picky about what I like at Christmas. I’m not wild about much of the newest versions of the old songs. Here are some of my favorites (in no particular order)
“Jingle Bell Rock” ~ Bobby Helms – It’s just classic.
“I’ll Be Home for Christmas” ~ Bing Crosby – this one makes me sad and think about the people in my life that aren’t there any longer. But it also makes me glad I knew them.
“Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” ~ Burl Ives – now that I know he was blacklisted, I love it even more.
“Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)” ~ Gene Autry – we sang this song at school. It reminds me of being in the first grade.
“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” ~ Brenda Lee – doesn’t she have the best Christmas songs? Besides, how can you not love it and not think of Home Alone?
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” ~ Judy Garland – makes me sad, yet Christmassy, too.
“White Christmas” ~ Bing Crosby – it’s just a classic
“Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” ~ Bruce Springsteen – okay, I love how he asks how many have behaved and when he gets a poor response, he says, ah…not many, not many. Cracks me up.
“Santa Baby” ~ Eartha Kitt – she makes Christmas sexy 😊
“The Chipmunk Song” ~ How can you not like the Chipmunks at Christmas?
“Little Saint Nick” ~ The Beach Boys – I learned the Muppets version of this song and love both versions.
“When the River Meets the Sea” ~ Paul Williams, but sung by Robin the Frog and Denver with the Muppets
And….
“The Peace Carol” ~ Traditional ~ John Denver and Scooter with the Muppets
I know I left off the Drifters, Otis Redding and Darlene Love among others. They’re on the longer list. What are your favorite Christmas songs? Do you lean classic or contemporary? I’d love to know.
Two hearts, one child and the chance to make everything right.
Jamie Starkey has started to wonder about having kids. He thought he had his life sorted out—the job, the life and the house—but he doesn’t have it all. And there’s one man he never forgot. Haddie Clay. Jamie’s long had his heart set on him, except Haddie isn’t interested in him—until now.
Haddie Clay has always known Jamie was the father of his kid. Haddie’s raised his nephew, Chris, for the last ten years, but it’s time Chris knew the truth, that Haddie is Chris’ uncle and Jamie is his biological father. He’s also never forgotten the attraction to Jamie.
Now that they’ve got to work together to raise Chris, they’re going to have to figure out if they want to give in to the desire between them…and be a real family.
