I LOVE Last Christmas by Wham! Eric and I were talking not long ago about how it was always playing when we would go to Books-a-Million in Searcy during Christmas time! It always makes me think of that. I think I have yet to hear it this year.
Great timing on the post. I need to make a cd music mix for my ugly xmas sweater party!
I'm dream of a White Christmas by Bing Crosby always brings a holiday tear to my eye!
No Gene Autry?
Jeanne,
That's funny about Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" - considering you moved to Florida because you hate snow and cold weather!
I don't know if Wham should be on anyone's "favorite ____" list. Gotta like Bing Crosby and Lennon though. I hate snow also but it's always acceptable for Christmas.
Jim, you are so me.
My top 10 is pretty much Paul McCartney, Wham and the Charlie Brown soundtrack.
Some others for your perusal:
Blues Traveler - Christmas
Chris Cornell - Ave Maria
Dean Martin - Let it Snow
Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas
