I love the Christmas season – and one of the things that I love most of all is Christmas music. Today the Christmas Playlist was re-instated on the iPod….and not a moment too soon. New additions to this holiday season are the entire Sara McLachlan Wintersong album which I have grown to love while frequenting Starbucks. So let me entertain you with my deep love of the following songs.
- The best things happen when you’re dancing from White Christmas…..Even guys with two left feet – come ON you have GOT to love this stuff. And you put it in a bing crosby wrapper and you have got yourself a winner.
-Linus and Lucy from Charlie Brown Christmas – because there is no way a Christmas Playlist could be called as much without this dumdumdumdumdum dadadadda dumumdumdudmdudm dadadadad
- Everybody’s waitin’ for the man with the bag - because I’m waiting for a man with a bag. FULL of presents for ME. 
A girl can dream.
- All I want for Christmas is You by the Legen (wait for it) dary (homage to Barney…because I love How I Met your Mother more then most anything else) Mariah Carey….It’s mostly because it’s so fun and she gets a puppy for Christmas (THIS WOULD BE A GIGANTIC HINT IF MY FH READ THIS BLOG). So you totally know my dream tonight is going to have me, AnneMarie from my dorm (NO one on this planet loves Christmas like this girl…she’s an INSPIRATION), Lisa (who’s moments from becoming a doctor for gods sake), Amanda (because all I have for that girl is LOVE) and Dani (who needed my help with the cheer) and now Pocklock and Lil’ Foots Mommy (because no dream would be complete without them) will be singing backup to Mariah. I dare you to listen to this song and not smile.
- Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt….now that’s not a name you hear everyday. I have the most vivid memory of this song…which is shocking because I was off my ass drunk…it was 2001, Christmas Eve and my mom’s friends and kids (including the hottest guy named Blane that EVER walked this planet…I love you FH, and you smell like a man….but sweet jesus – this man could have been made into a monument) I was singing this song and we were playing pool and drinking and laughing and it was just pure FUN. Interestingly enough my ability to play pool increases exponentially depending on the amount of vodka that I’ve consumed…that or my perception of my pool playing ability changes exponentially…whatever.
- Merry Christmas, Baby by Otis Redding. Hell to the yes people. You may not know this one. Go to iTUNES right NOW. Go. I’ll wait. You will be thankful….”Feel mighty fine ya’ll – I’ve got music on my radio”….”I feel like I’m going to kiss ya standing under the mistletoe” This is your SONG. Go out there and jive to a little Ottis this Christmas.

There are 2 things I love from this blog…#1 obviously being a nod to my fabulous self…and #2 the use of “legendary”…How I Met Your Mother is my favorite show (own both seasons on DVD already!) and “legendary” is my headline on myspace because I love it so much…now Mariah Carey…i might need to agrue against!!! teehee!
Happy Holidays…email me your address!
I’m so bummed that we didn’t get to talk about Slapsgiving! I had no idea you were a HIMYM fan!
Anyway, I got ya on backup vocals baby. Anytime. Anywhere. We might need to go caroling at Starbucks. Dizzle will do crowd control.
Ooooooo a backup singer….now that could be fun…I’m with Pocklock on the Starbuck’s run and caroling…and you think they look at you funny now? Wait until we stand there and sing for them!!!
