kevin devine - splitting up christmas

i mean, it's definitely not a christmas song, per say, but it leaves you with that warm, fuzzy christmasy feeling. plus, there are sleighbells! and metaphysical conceit!!

If you're really into music, and I mean REALLY, definately check out Where Will You Be Christmas Day from the Dust-to-Digital label, it's the most magnificent collection of Christmas songs that I've ever heard.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

I just heard Butch Walker's version of Last Christmas.

who would of thought this song would be such a hit with the modern rockers. the station here use to play JEW's version.

My favorite X-mas songs(traditional) is Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

others:

U2-(christmas)baby please come home
mariah carey-all I want for x-mas
annie lennox-winter wonderland
venessa williams-sleigh bells
wham -last Chritamas
bon Jovi-please come home for christmas
darlene love-nobody should be alone on christmas
band aid-do they know it is christmas(original)
john lennon-happy x-mas(war is over)

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

I dunno who sings it but the song "It's cold outside" Is awesome. It's more of a winter song than x-mas. It was in the movie Elf, and the girls voice in the song and the movie are amazing.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I just ripped the first "A Very Special Christmas" to my computer. :mrgreen:

I didn't realize it came out so long ago til I looked at the copyright and saw "1987". :freak: I feel old. I remember buying this.
