Those of you who have been following along on the blog for a few years now know that my cousin’s husband is a member of the a capella group Straight No Chaser. They have some really amazing Christmas renditions.
One of my favorite carols when I was a child was “Do You Hear What I Hear?” I’m not sure what about that song appealed to me most; maybe the structure, maybe the melody, maybe the sense of connection, maybe the telephone game. Anyway, I loved it.
Enjoy.
It’s mid-December. You know what that means around here! It’s time for me to share a dozen holiday songs with you that do not suck. I’ve taken some requests this year, but all of the songs I share with you are guaranteed to be better than 98% of the tired drivel they’ve been playing on the radio in Houston since the weekend before Thanksgiving.
And since the holidays are all about traditions, I like to kick things off every year with one of the cutest and peppiest Christmas songs I’ve ever known. If you’ve been around this blog before, you know what’s coming. (And so you know, I do try to find other videos of this song each year, but it’s hard to find a good one. I did, this morning, run across a Spice Girls edition that was pretty crappy since it didn’t have any bass. Srsly???)
Enjoy.
