by vivrant thang on my favorite things
Christmas has been my favorite season since I was an itty bitty thang.
See that light in my eyes and that slobber running down my legs? I’m giddy with excitement over what’s going to be underneath that tree for me on the big day!
One of the things that makes me feel especially festive is Christmas music. I am actually one of those people who enjoys listening to it in the stores as I’m out shopping. At home, I’ve got three mixed CDs of classic and current soul and r&b Christmas music that I love to play.
What is your favorite classic soul Christmas song? Bounce on to one of my favorite music sites and vote. Leave a comment if you think they are straight trippin’ and left the best holiday song off the list.
For me, hands down, Donnie Hathaway’s This Christmas will always reign supreme. Not even a question. Right now, I’m not the only one that thinks so because it has a commanding lead.
Let me know how you voted.
SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE 
HA! I am so very mad at that slobber on your leg! That is the only age at which that is acceptable, thank you.
As for how I voted in the poll that I created (LOL), I love “This Christmas” but I had to give it up to “Silent Night” by The Temptations. They sang the definitive version of that song. Christmas just aint Christmas without hearing that one a few hundred times.
For that poll, I voted Nat King Cole – The Christmas Song. *sigh* Love the soothing sounds of Mr. Cole.
But my favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night” – preferably the Mariah Carey version. Matter of fact, her Christmas album is the only one I own, and my favorite, indeed. Its in the car now, lol.
@ Butta : Shoooo…sometimes I still have the occasional slobber on my leg. But most times it’s not mine 😉
Hmmph! Well, I guess you’re right on one thing. Christmas just ain’t Christmas without that deep, soulful “Merry Christmas from the Temptations”
@B Good: Yea, Mimi knows she gets down on the Christmas songs. You ain’t lying!
Aww…cute picture, even if you did pee on yourself. lol.
Of the songs listed, I voted for Donny, hands down. Now if they had included Luther’s “Every Year, Every Christmas”, then it would be a very different story! {smile}
