table topic #24


holiday themed one this week...

24. What is your favorite holiday song?

hmm...i have a couple of faves. 

on the traditional side, joy to the world brings back fond memories - my sister & i getting the church giggles during mass from the cadence of the pew in front of us - when we were way too old to be caught laughing at church. 

as far as music videos go, you can't beat the ridiculous holiday attire and over the top facial expressions of the hall & oates version of jingle bell rock. on the contemporary side, i always loved christmas in hollis by run dmc - this is usually my #1. 

but, this year the top spot is going to christmas wrapping, by the waitresses. you mean you forgot cranberries too??

"do they know it's Christmas?" by band aid. not very joyful, but love it.

Traditional: O Little Town of Bethlehem

Music Video: Jon Bon Jovi rocking "Blue Christmas" at some fund-raiser thing

MySpace Profile Song: I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas sung by Otis Redding (seriously awesome)

Sad/Hopeful: Happy Christmas/War is Over by John Lennon (the kids singing at the end always gets to me)
