'Tis the season!
I've been listening to the carols on and off for weeks now and thought I should share my top seven favorite Christmas carols!
While they are all classics, some just ring better, don't they?
7. Carol of the Bells
I still don't know the words well, but the tune... the tune is incredible! It's haunting and dazzling and it always sends a shiver down my spine. We were able to perform this in a choir I was in several years ago and I think we ended up singing that at the San Diego temple and... it was amazing.
6. Do You Hear What I Hear?
It's one of the first Christmas songs that really just hit me as a child. Sure, you listen to the tunes... but then you just really get it for the first time, and it opens your eyes. Again, I was in a school choir- my first one, in grade school. We did A Christmas Carol and we performed several songs, such as this one.
5. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Along with the other two, this was one of the beginning Christmas songs that I really started singing and enjoying on my own. It's just... awesome. Plus it's like in the Church Hymns and everything so that's cool.
4. Last Christmas
To be honest, I really don't care who sings this song. I don't care that it's basically repeating itself the whole time, that the chorus is basically the entire song. I don't care how stupid it is. But I happen to always enjoy it. I can't help it.
3. All I Want for Christmas is You
I wouldn't call myself a Mariah Carey fan, but I'm a fan of this song. Might be Katie's fault. I think she started a recent obsession with this song so.... yeah. Here I am. Listening to a fabulous song.
2. What Child is This?
Not only is this song written to Greensleeves, an IRISH song, but it's so sweet. And Katie and I sang this with her ukulele skills last Christmas while in China. It built a lot of memories. That, and like five years ago Jordyn and I surprised our parents by doing an instrumental duet with guitar and piano for them. So that's cool, too. it's just such a good song!
1. Where Are You Christmas?
I remember when I first saw How the Grinch Stole Christmas- the live action one that made this an instant Christmas hit. Then it was Jenessa's favorite Christmas movie so we always had to watch it. Then we just added it to our routine of Christmas movies to watch during the season. It's sweet and powerful and sends you Christmas season feels. It's perfect!
