Ahhh, yes. Christmas is only 6 months away! Time to start thinking about it again! Those sales are starting the 3rd week in July - retailers REALLY want your money!
Here are my favorite Christmas songs, in case anyone cares:
Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy duet by Bing Crosby and David Bowie
Same Auld Lang Sine by Dan Fogelberg
Christmas Time is Here Instrumental by Vince Guaraldi (from Charlie Brown Christmas)
Home for the Holidays by Perry Como
Of course I consider myself fairly contemporary, too as I like a few alternative Xmas songs as well:
Merry Christmas from the Family by Robert Earl Keen
Father Christmas by the Kinks
I Won't be home for Christmas by Blink182 (I know, hate me if you must)
2000 Miles by the Pretenders
Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses
Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Sorry all! I saw this one lurking near the bottom and against my better judgement, I had to post!
