Whenever I hear Christmas music, I picture myself laying on the couch under a warm, soft and comfy blanket (preferably one of those Korean blankets because they keep the heat in), drinking hot cocoa (with marshmellow cream), while watching a Christmas movie on tv (my first choice...Elf with Will Ferrell.) All that sounds good, huh? Makes me want to drop everything I'm doing now and make that happen :)
Since the above can't always happen, my next choice is to listen to the Christmas station (96.5 KOIT) while driving. I love KOIT because they actually get you in the holiday season even before Thanksgiving! It's funny when I change it to that station with the boys in the back of the car because one of them will say "Mommy...I know that song. That's the Christmas song." I say, "That IS a Christmas song." Then I sit and hope that they won't ask me to change the station because they don't know the song and can't sing along. Because they do that :)
When I hear Christmas music, I think of three things: 1- Me standing on the piano chair when I was about, I wanna say 5, singing Jingle Bells while my sister and cousin attempt to play the song on the piano. 2- The Mariah Carey Christmas CD (the one with "All I Want for Christmas") that I left in my sister's car which I never got back. Who knows where it is now... 3- My Nsync CD (yes...I said...Nsync) that my sister borrowed many years ago and never returned. It's in the land of the lost (with Mariah) and she has yet to purchase me a new one after years of reminding her what a great gift it'll be. Maybe this is the year. Shall we place a bet on this? :)

There are millions of Christmas songs out there. I don't have a favorite one...I have FOUR! The first is "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" that's in the Home Alone movie. That's a classic. I also love Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas", TLC's "Sleigh Ride", and Nsync's "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays".
What are your favorite Christmas songs?
