My Favorite Christmas Songs

I try to make myself wait until mid-to-late October before I bust out the Christmas music, but I need at least two months' worth of musical festivities.  It makes me really happy to think that I listen to Christmas music for a minimum of 1/6 of every year.  I wish it was 6/6, let me tell you.

That said, I do have some favorites.  Some songs that I can't get enough of.  And here are my top 10 favorites, in alphabetical order because I can't pick a favorite.  That would be like picking a favorite cat (Ollie and Josie are both my favorite).

1) Breath of Heaven
(Amy Grant)

2) A Christmas Song
(Dave Matthews Band)

3) Do They Know it's Christmas?
(Band Aid)

4) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
(Frank Sinatra)

5) Here We Come A-Wassailing
(this is one of my favorites to sing in the shower)

6) I Will Lead You Home
(Amy Grant)

7) Joy to the World
(Nat King Cole)

8) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
(the only song for which I'd jump on the mid-90s N'Sync bandwagon)

9) Somewhere In My Memory
(you know... the instrumental/light vocals song from Home Alone
that puts a real lump in your throat)

10) Wintersong
(Sarah McLachlan... that line above about putting a lump in your
throat x1,000)


What song(s) put you in the holiday spirit?
