(This is a video of one of the songs we included on our Christmas CD this year. Straight No Chaser is our new favorite holiday band. You should check out the rest of their CD too!)
Every year we make a CD of Christmas music. I love Christmas music and now my kids do too. I’ve been doing this since 2002 and I have such a great time listening and picking all of the best songs of the year. Now I have three little, highly opinionated, elves who help with this task. We usually start checking out CD’s from the library in August or September in order to find the best of the best.
This year the highly opinionated elves insisted that ‘Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer’ by Elmo & Patsy make the final cut. This is my disclaimer. I HATE that song and and HATE that it gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.
But I must relinquish some of my controlling tendencies so I will now share this tradition with my children. Even if it means I will be singing politically incorrect, backwards, just plain annoying songs every day this holiday season.
