The Greatest Christmas Song Of All Time
Christmas song? Yes, I have been listening to christmas music for the past 2 weeks. Ever since that first snow, I have been in a winter mood. I always hated winter, until last year. Maybe it was because it was the first time I had experienced freezing, or the the first time I had experienced the winter beast alone, and one. I'm not sure. But, something about last winter made me fall in love with the season. So, here I am, pumped about winter. I have started listening to mostly "winter music". Which is generally "warm" sounding; Sufjan, Jens Lekman, Owen (Singer Songwriter people I can imagine sitting around a fireplace). So, the best christmas song...
No, I'm not talking about the Paul McCartney jam, "Wonderful Christmastime". That's my second favorite. Vince Guaraldi Trio recorded a masterpiece, "Christmas Time Is Here", from "It's a Charlie Brown Christmas". It's so beautiful. A Children's choir, brushed snare, quiet piano; it's perfection.

My favorite christmas song is all I want for christmas is you, by mariah carey. It had a little renaissance when love actually came out, which was kind of wack, but I still love it.

I also love "all I want for christmas is you" and I love, I really do, the charlie brown christmas soundtrack. I also agree that sufjan is good winter music as well.
