Holiday Songs

Since the holiday season is quickly approaching I thought I would just briefly mention some of my favorite and least favorite holiday songs. Now in one of my last posts I brought up two songs that I did like, so I won’t be bringing them up again. One of my favorite songs for the holidays has to be Carol of the Bells. I enjoy both the sung version, bells only version, and love the rock version of the song that I tend to hear a lot. I’m not sure who did that version, but it tends to be heard a lot around the holidays so you are bound to run into it. I guess I really like this song because most holiday songs tend to be in a major key which is all happy and bright sounding but this seems to sound a bit darker adding a bit more dissonance compared to other holiday songs. As for songs I really don’t like that always come up around holidays would probably be the one song from Charlie Brown that tends to play on the radio like a million times during the holidays. Never cared for the show, never bothered watching the Christmas episode, never liked the song, and I get really sick of people asking me to learn it. Another song I tend to hate is that Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer Song. Honestly seeing how most people hate country music in our class I would be surprised if anyone liked it in our class so I feel like I don’t have to explain that one that much. So that is a brief post about the songs I like and hate around the holiday season.
