(C’mon. You know I have NO willpower when it comes to these guys...)
Sufjan Stevens ~ “The Friendly Beasts”
Sixpense None the Richer ~ “Silent Night”

Fun list!
What a great list! I love how you have new, cool stuff, mixed in with older, also very cool stuff. Your mp3 player must BURST with songs and delight.
Sheez, if I hang around here I might just get infected with Christmas spirit! ;)
That Whitney song is one of my favorite Christmas songs, that woman can sing. This is a fantastic list of which I'm sure will end up on my playlist.
The Eartha Kitt version of Santa Baby will forever be the only one that I will listen to. I can't stand the others because they try too hard to make it sound sexy and you can hear them trying, while Eartha just doesn't need to try at all.
I love Christmas songs and belt them out at the top of my lungs from November through January. These are some great pics!
XOXOXO
I love that Clarence Carter! It's been years since I've heard that.
thanks for making the season bright.
