When you're looking for songs or musical selections to get you into the holiday spirit, there are hundreds to choose from. Below are just a few selections that cover several categories, and they may even help you think of others.
If you are into the classic classics-that is, songs that have been around for a long time and still never lose their appeal-try these:
* Chestnuts roasting on an Open Fire.
This classic by Nat King Cole is one of the most-often played pieces. Many radio stations pick it to start their holiday music schedule.
* Santa, Baby
Many popular female vocalists have recorded this one, but the version that is purred by the late Eartha Kitt will definitely set the mood while you hint to your husband which type of Fruitz jewelry you want for a gift.
Religious songs remind us of a very special Christmas long ago. Two of them are:
* Mary, Did You Know?
This beautiful spiritual song gives us things to "ponder in our hearts," just as Mary, the Mother of Jesus, did.
* Do You See What I See?
This song also poses many questions about the different reactions that the wind, lamb, shepherd boy, king, and ultimately the people everywhere had and still have to the Birth of Jesus.
More modern, but still popular, are these two songs. Both have an air of nostalgia, something we all feel during the holiday season:
* Merry Christmas, Darling
The late Karen Carpenter sings about how we can still be together with our loved ones in our dreams even if we are apart in body.
* Christmas in Dixie
The multi-Grammy winning group Alabama recorded this song of the different Christmas scenes and happenings in many Southern, and even a couple of "Yankee," states.
