Day 8: Favorite Christmas Song


Photobucket

Now here I am really stumped.

See, I love Christmas/holiday music. A lot.

Don't believe me? Well, my iTunes "Christmastime" playlist has 456 515 items right now.

That is over 24 hours of Christmas music!

I have many variations of different songs, like 6 versions of "Blue Christmas," 8 versions of "Deck the Halls" and 12 versions of "Silent Night". And those are just a few examples.

But, a favorite? Wow... Okay, I am going with The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole. It is just great and encapsulates so much of what the holiday is about, to me.

How about you?

Day Six: Favorite Song

Day Six: Favorite Song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like food yesterday, there are so many choices for a favorite song. Let's see...

Dolly Parton has written and performed many I like, Coat of Many Colors one of them.



I love the message that the song imparts, in such a beautiful and simple way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John Mellencamp also has his fair share of great music, Cherry Bomb being my favorite of his:



Just a great song, an ode to simpler times, I suppose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time is classic, and brings me back to the 80s every time I hear it.



Great song sung by an awesome talent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't You (Forget About Me) is, to me, the quintessential 80s song.



It might have a lot to do with be so closely associated with The Breakfast Club, but with or without the film, it is an 80s classic that never gets old.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I will have to go with Unforgettable, the version made into a duet by Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie.



A beautiful song, without doubt. Two amazing voices spanning time to meld just perfectly on a classic.

My wife and I also chose this song to be "Our Song", and we couldn't have picked a better one. That's why Unforgettable is my Favorite Song.
