I admit it. I am a Christmasholic. About this time every year I get antsy for Christmas. I do love fall, but fall just reminds me of what is coming next...Christmas (then I block everything out because January is too hard to think about). I made a deal with myself a couple of years ago. I let myself listen to Christmas music after my mom's birthday (October 15th). This week has just been easier with a festive soundtrack. Work is a little tense right now and we are all still waiting (another three weeks they say) to see if we will have jobs at the end of the year. I have found Christmas music to be the sole source of my calm. I have also converted some co-workers who are now listening to Christmas music and I am happy to report the Store Design department is much more mellow this week.I have always leaned on the tunes of the Yule. In college I relied heavily on Bing to get me through a paper. Don't under estimate the power of Christmas music.
Here are some of my favorites (off the top of my head):
Mariah Carey: "All I Want For Christmas is You." LOVE IT!
Michael W. Smith: both of his Christmas albums are amazing.
Steve Tyrell and The Carpenters: good classic albums
My favorite Christmas songs are: Baby, it's cold outside, What are you doing new year's eve?, and Christmas all over (Tim Petty)
Of course I love the standards Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Mathis, etc.
What are your favorite Christmas songs?

My favs:
1. Mary Did You Know
2. Let it Snow
I am NOT ready for Christmas. There's just too much to do between now and then, like give birth and stuff. It's such a busy time of year. It kinda makes me tired to think about it. Enjoy your music.

Love love love the post. Quite possibly because you reminded me last week that it is time for Christmas music! And yes, Store Design is a much better place because of it.

1. Baby, it's cold outside
2. All I want for Christmas is you!
Love them both.
I am really into the super classical Christmas right now. Large choirs and good instrumentals....
