Friday Five: Christmas Ditty Edition

1.  "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" Jason Manns and Friends - The below 'video' doesn't do it justice.  But I can't find the full song on YouTube, so trust me and purchase the album on iTunes.  Of 12 fabulous songs, this is just the most fabulous.  I'm pretty much crazy for the rest as well.  
              

2. "Christmas Wrapping" The Waitresses: I always forget about this song, until I hear it on the radio then I have it in my head for days.  Up until this moment, I didn't even know who sang the darn song. It's so darn catchy!
                            
3. "Carol of the Bells" Manheim Steamroller: They were my favorite Christmas band until Trans-Siberian Orchestra came along.  I don't listen to them as much as I once did, but their music is still pretty good.  Except for this song - it's out of this world!  Of all the versions of this song, this will always be my favorite!
                           
4. "A Wonderful Christmastime" Paul McCartney: As I understand it, there are two schools of thought on this classic - you either despise it with every fiber of your being, or you adore it.  Care to guess which school I fall into?

5. "Christmas Eve Sarajevo" Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Like I said, I own every one of their albums and pretty much binge them the entire month of December.  I know all the songs by heart and adore them all.  So picking a favorite is quite difficult.  I'm not sure this one is even my favorite - I'm pretty partial to "Old City Bar."  However, this is the one they play most on the radio.  And it's the one that's most fun to dance to in the car.  It's so very, very good!
