Christmas Sights and Sounds

husband and me from last year's December visit to NYC
apparently Christmas joy makes us squint
It's officially okay to start listening to Christmas music now, right? While I don't normally care for songs with parenthetical titles, U2's version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is one of my favorites. Mostly, I enjoy an '80s-era Bono sporting hat and vest. What's on your holiday mixtape?

  5. for sure "baby, it's cold outside" almost any version will do (almost.) and eartha kitt's santa baby. (might have butchered the spelling of ms. kitt's name!) oh and i know this is baaaaaaaaaad and dates me but there is something about wham's "last christmas" that send me right back to middle school.

  13. Awww I love that old Christmas Album! I remember first hearing that song when I was about 10 years old and Madonna's hit Santa Baby is still one of my favs and a Holiday staple for sure!

  19. I adore u2! Especially when it takes the place of cheesy tunes by poppy artists just trying to make a buck! We chose a It's a beautiful day as the soundtrack to our wedding dvd- it turned out so neat!
