RACHEL • "Last Christmas" by Jimmy Eat World
Even though I'm the one who suggested doing a Christmas theme today, I had no idea what to pick! I haven't been listening to a lot of Christmas songs this year for some reason. But I finally started to a few days ago when I was putting together a playlist for my family get-together. All my longtime favorites were on there and thanks to a bunch of suggestions from other playlists (including Estelle's Rather Be Reading 2012 Holiday Mix), I found a bunch of new ones too. So the question I asked myself was - should I pick an oldie today or something new? I decided to go with.. oldie! Jimmy Eat World's cover of "Last Christmas" has been one of my favorites for years now. I heard it one day while Christmas shopping and it's been one of my staple songs to play during the holidays ever since.
CARINA • "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey
I felt like Christmas crept up really fast this year. I hardly did any Christmas shopping & I haven't been in a festive mood until.. I FOUND OUT THAT I'M OFF CHRISTMAS DAY!! Let the Christmas music commence! I chose this song by Ms. Carey because it always put me in the Christmas mood. Added bonus - I found this version with classroom instruments! Check out that xylophone action and for the guiro fans, you'll definitely enjoy this version. Enough said. Hit play and enjoy the holidays!
