I also hate the Christmas shoes song and the song by Wham- "last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away"....<br /><br />You should check out The Piano Guys on YouTube.

It has every homeless dog's favorite singer, Sarah McLachlan in it too. Holiday DJ Roomba would dig it.<br /><br />Also, from your last post, because I wanted to recommend a dip but I didn't want to post twice, because I'm lazy and tired and teaching seventh graders is HARD, I thought I'd post here. I recommend Beef Dip. Here's the deal.<br /><br />2 cup Sour Cream<br />1 cup Mayo<br />1 Jar Dried Beef (It comes in the canned meat section [don't judge], in a clear jar with a blue lid. It's by Armour)<br />1 Tbsp.

It's been stuck in my head for the last 3 days and I bought it on googleplay. This is the only Christmas song of Pentatonix that I like. I'm a purist when it comes to classic Christmas music, but for some reason, their version of this song just works out well in their style. I'm also going to dedicate a blog post to this song...it is definitely favorite at the moment.<br /><br />I love anything with Michael Buble singing it. If you are into semi-classical, Il Divo has nice Christmas songs. Another favorite song is called I Believe by Natalie Grant.<br /><br />P.S.

When we were driving to and from Virginia, we listened to Christmas music nonstop (yep, 16 hours worth) and that song came on several times. I have to say I've never felt strongly in favor of or against it in the past. And yes, perhaps I'm a little hormonal right now. But listening to the words in the car just made me think about the whole message and before I knew it tears were rolling down my cheeks. I just listened to the Pentatonix version and guess what! Crying again! You touch on this in your retro blog post, about how sad it is that he had nothing to give the new king because he was poor so he gave the only thing he had... ah dammit, this is too much. No other song chokes me up like this! It's just so funny that you chose to post about it because it's been on my mind for days.<br /><br />You know which one I hate? Joy to the World. No good reason... I think people just get way too excited while singing it and it makes me angry. But that sad little drummer boy stole my heart, rum pum pum and all.<br /><br />And I still vote yes for FB page.Deedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386061097583007160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-11342462853656541642013-12-03T17:40:37.788-05:002013-12-03T17:40:37.788-05:00Ok, to jump on the anti-Little Drummer boy bandwag...Ok, to jump on the anti-Little Drummer boy bandwagon, I too, felt the same way for YEARS until I heard this version - <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EEpRnSqRyQ<br />I dare you not to get chills.
