When December comes, Christmas music comes with it. While decorating the tree, baking cookies, or just sitting by the fireplace, most people get into the Christmas spirit through music. In my opinion, these are the best songs to listen to while getting ready for Christmas!
Decorating the Tree
While hanging up the ornaments and stringing the lights on the tree, I love to listen to Christmas music. Obviously, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee is the best song to listen to. This cheerful song makes decorating ten times more exciting.
Before Watching a Christmas Movie
“The Grinch” is one of my favorite holiday movies. Clearly, “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” by Thurl Ravenscroft is what gets me in a good mood to watch Christmas movies. This song is so catchy and fun to listen to. It makes me want to watch “The Grinch” along with all the other classic holiday movies.
Baking Cookies
While baking and decorating delicious cookies, I like to hear up-beat, lively songs. The classic “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey has to be my top pick. Although it may be overplayed, it’s such a catchy song to listen to. Another great song I like to listen to while baking is “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms. This is another great, cheery song.
Christmas Spirit
The song that really makes it feel like Christmas is “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams. This song truly makes it feel like Christmas time. It is not too slow and has an amazing beat to it. The lyrics are very catchy and fun to sing along to. It could make anybody excited for the holiday season.
Christmas Morning
Christmas morning is the happiest time of the year. Being cozy, opening gifts, hanging with family. The song I want to listen to is “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow” by Frank Sinatra. I love this song because what’s better than looking out your window on Christmas morning, seeing a fluffy, thick layer of snow on the ground, while listening to “Let it Snow”
Christmas Night
On Christmas night, while the fireplace is crackling and the entire family is together, I want to hear the song “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Frank Sinatra. This song has more of a slow tune to it but it is perfect for this cozy night.
Fan Favorites
Students at WMC love to listen to Christmas music. Some favorites are “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” by Michael Bublé, “Last Christmas” by Wham!, and “Mistletoe” by Justin Bieber. These songs are very festive and get students in the Christmas spirit.
