I know, I haven't been the best blogger lately. But, we've been a little busy here at the Hejl household. Thanksgiving was good and full of food as always. Luke took a trip to Big Bend to hike with some buddies and had a blast. I went to Cleburne for my little sister's baby shower. She got some major loot!
Last year, I created a best/worst list of Christmas songs and singers thereof. This year, I've enjoyed TWO different Christmas music stations that have allowed me to branch out in my Christmas music discoveries - SIRIUS "Holly" station and of course, Majic 95.5 here in Austin. Cooper has learned quite a few songs this year from me listening to the radio. His favorite as of yet is Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney and Wings. Man, this is MY child.
2008 faves:
- Winter Wonderland - Eurythmics (I love Annie Lennox)
- Merry Christmas, Baby - The Beach Boys
- Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer - Jack Johnson
- Someday at Christmas - Jackson 5 (one with the biggest political statement, but a good one)
- Step Into Christmas - Elton John
- Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth - David Bowie and Bing Crosby
- Somethin' About Christmastime - Bryan Adams
- Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
- Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee (a classic)
Most overplayed:
- Do You Hear What I Hear? - Whitney Houston (I mean, I'm nothing if not a fan, but seriously this one is on all of the time.)
- Last Christmas - George Michael (oh dear)
Most depressing songs, other than last year's Another Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg:
- Where Are You Christmas? - Faith Hill (ugh)
- I'll Be Home for Christmas - Josh Groban (With the military messages within the song. Heavens.)
- Christmas Shoes - not sure, but whoever it is, it's so cheesy, it's sob-worthy)
I'm sure I'll think of more soon. Hope everyone's having a great holiday so far!
