There are officially seven days left until Christmas Day which means, ten more days to listen to Christmas music.
Now, if you're like me, you've been listening to Christmas music on the radio for over two months. That's the nice thing about small-town Wisconsin -- come December 1st we have two stations that declare themselves "the official Christmas radio station". So, I've gotten my tasty fill of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". And, I'm cool with listening to these songs and have....fourteen times in the past five days.
But now, I'm sick of the same Christmas music on the same radio station over and over and over again. If I can make it through the next ten days without hearing Band Aid, I'll be a happy girl. Seriously.
So, to get me through until Christmas, I made a merry little christmas mix. Featuring artists like Sufjan Stevens, Matt Costa, Sarah MacLachlan. Because that's the kind of music that I want to listen to this time of year. Quiet. Reflective. Perfect snuggle-on-the-couch-with-just-the-Christmas-lights-on music.

And, I'm offering to send five lucky readers of Meghan's blog cd copies of the merry little christmas mix much like the ones that I made and sent out for family and friends last year (read the related post here). All you have to do is comment on this post with an answer to this sentence:
"Christmas isn't Christmas until I hear or sing this song: _____________________."

First, I gotta say how much I love your playlist. I listened to several of the songs and they're perfect--off the beaten path, full of spirit, soothing. I love discovering new Christmas songs/covers, so thanks, Amanda!
ReplyDeleteChristmas isn't Christmas until I hear John Lennon's Happy Christmas (War is Over). The song makes me sad but I love it.
I seriously love this and that cycle of Christmas music is cracking me up! Christmas isn't Christmas until I hear Mary Did You Know. Looove that song! Hope I win, he he!
ReplyDeleteI have quite the mix. I have over 30 songs and listen to it faithfully the entire month of December. I don't usually start in November though.
