Do the words Christmas Carol conjure up the great work by Charles Dickens?
Don’t get more wrong because Charles wrote some good stuff that was eventually turned into movies like A Christmas Carol aka Scrooge and Oliver Twist.
However, when I think of Christmas Carols I automatically think Christmas music and there are many songs that I can’t wait to listen to and sing along with starting Thanksgiving day until New Year’s Eve.
Below is a list of my top 5 favorite Christmas Carols or Christmas Songs, please let me know if any of them are yours as well.
Someday at Christmas sung by Stevie Wonder
My Favorite Things sung by Luther Vandross
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus sung by The Jackson Five
Silent Night sung by The Temptations
Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC
What are your top 5 favorite Christmas Carols or Christmas Songs?
‘Twas the night before Christmas in the late 1980’s with my lil sister, Gloria, (RIP my dear angel); then into the 1990’s with my grandmother (RIP Mama) was a tradition that is now continuing with my sons in the 2000’s. On Christmas Eve we pile into the car, turn on the radio; listening to Christmas carols while driving to “Santa Claus Lane” to see the “Christmas House” . I have pictures of my sons all giddy and excited when they were younger but now just looking at me like I have two heads and wanting to get home. One day, God willing this tradition will continue with their children.
Once home, I start drinking Egg Nog or wine, and wrap presents while watching my all time favorite movie another Christmas Eve tradition ~ 24 hour marathon of “A Christmas Story” – “you’ll shoot your eye out!”
