i love christmas. i mean i really, really love it. i'm a tinsel slinging, carol singing, jingle bell ringing, ball of holiday energy. i love fairy lights and christmas trees. i love wreaths on doorways and mistletoe in hallways. i love setting the christmas pudding on fire and digging around for actual old-school sixpences, threepences and shillings that have been passed through the generations in my dad's fam. i love being on kid patrol with my mum's fam, even though i'm likely to be imbibing just as much as the parents on christmas day. i love that christmas turns me into a corny, sentimental twat. and i love making a mixtape of my favourite holiday inspired tunes. hope everyone has a dazzling festive experience!
ps. am 96% sure santa is real x
no christmas for me - zee avi
oddly, you'll notice that even though i'm mental for christmas, a lot of the songs have quite the melancholy vibe to them. i think this balances out my uber-excitement quite well, and prevents people from wanting to slap me in the face.
a christmas duel - the hives & cyndi lauper
rock n' roll. the hives and cyndi combine two of my favourite things, christmas and duets, what a fabulous present!
blue christmas - bright eyes
something about the way conor oberst croons away about a so-called blue christmas makes me feel distinctly warm inside. uncanny.
winter wonderland - phantom planet
it's a bit weird listening to all these songs about christmas that reference the snowy, wintry holidays that are happening in the northern hemisphere. and sure, i'd love to hear more songs about santa in thongs, drinking beer and getting dumped by gnarly barrels. but the tinkly bells and visions of snowflakes are just too contagious.
christmas cake - rilo kiley
i used to hate christmas cake, it's one of those holiday treats that i've definitely grown into. i don't know whether it's my increased love of rum and dark spirits or that it just tastes like a little bit of magic, but now christmas isn't christmas without one. see. i told you i was a corny twat.
all i want for christmas - yeah yeah yeahs
not the mariah or love actually version my friends. just karen o and her band being totally fucking awesome. as usual.
it's christmas so we'll stop - frightened rabbit
the only christmas i have not spent in the sunny climes of australia, i spent in a teeny, tiny town just out of glasgow, in scotland. it was ridiculously cold and grey, but i was in the cosiest house, with the loveliest people, at the bottom of a mountain that looked like it was out of a tolkein novel. and this song reminds me of just that.
baby it's cold outside - royal crown revue
what's christmas without a bit of brass and horn action? NOT christmas at all! exactly.
i wish it was christmas today - julian casablancas
the intro to this song is SO happy-making. my favourite one to decorate the christmas tree too this year.
carol of the bells - home alone soundtrack
home alone. essential christmas viewing. that is all.
why can't it be christmastime all year - rosie thomas
why can't it indeed rosie? but, to be perfectly honest, being a ball of holiday energy is pretty tiring. especially on my poor old liver. ho ho ho everyone!
