Dec. 11: Christmas CD 2006

We sent out CDs in our Christmas cards. If you didn't get one and want one, let me know. I know we forgot to put them in a few. Here's the playlist for this year's masterpiece, Holly & Jolly:

  1. WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME - Stevie Wonder
  2. SANTA BABY - Eartha Kitt
  3. IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS - Bing Crosby
  4. THE CHRISTMAS SONG - Mel Torme. He actually wrote the song, even though Nat King Cole made it famous. I like this version by the Velvet Fog.
  5. SLEIGH RIDE - Johnny Mathis
  6. BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE - Leon Redbone And Zooey Deschanel. From the "Elf" soundtrack.
  7. CHRISTMAS LULLABY - Amy Grant
  8. MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY - Otis Redding
  9. LET IT SNOW - Ella Fitzgerald
  10. CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE - Vince Guaraldi. From "Charlie Brown Christmas."
  11. COOL YULE - Louis Armstrong
  12. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS - James Taylor
  13. MISTLETOE AND HOLLY - Frank Sinatra
  14. I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS - The Jackson Five. A cute song such as this simply must be performed by a cute little boy (in this case, when he was cute and when he was male).
  15. GREEN CHRISTMAS - Barenaked Ladies. Listen to the words and you'll find this isn't exactly the cheeriest of Christmas songs, but the melody is one of those that sticks in your head for days. I like it anyway.
  16. WHAT ARE YOU DOIN’ NEW YEARS’ EVE - Donny Osmond. Duh... just for Kath.
  17. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS - The Carpenters. What would a Christmas album be without a contribution from the Carpenters?
  18. JINGLE BELLS - Jim Reeves
  19. SANTA BRING MY BABY BACK (TO ME) - Elvis Presley
  20. I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS - Bing Crosby
  21. LITTLE SAINT NICK - The Beach Boys
  22. WHITE CHRISTMAS - The Drifters. This is the version used in "Home Alone." It's the only non-Bing version I can tolerate.
  23. MERRY CHRISTMAS - Bette Midler
