Tunes to get into the holiday spirit

December 8, 2015

It surely is the holiday season, isn’t it? Stores are crowded, houses and areas are decked out in lights and the sounds of Christmas music fills many radio stations.

I’m a fan of Christmas music. It’s a good way to get into the spirit of the season, that’s for sure. And with the lack of snow in my area (not complaining), the music is the best way to feel like it’s the Christmas season.

With that in mind, I thought I’d share my personal favorite tunes of the season.

I did a post like this back in 2012 (https://hoohaa.com/?p=5077) as well, but things have changed slightly. Not a ton, but a little. So I wanted to share the new thoughts.

Plus, it never hurts to spread some good holiday cheer, does it?

So, here are some of my current holiday favorites to bring the cheer into the season. I’m only putting four here as I thought it would be a good way to get a few tunes out there. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments below!

1. Holly Jolly Christmas

This is my all-time favorite Christmas song, without a doubt. The Burl Ives version is the best, in my eyes, but I also enjoy other versions such as Michael Buble and Lady Antebellum. The Burl Ives version is below.

2. All I want for Christmas is you

Come on … it’s Mariah Carey. I can’t imagine any guy not thinking it would be awesome for her to sing this to him! Plus, it’s probably the best “modern” Christmas song out there.

3. Santa Claus is coming to town

This has quickly jumped up on my list because of the Andrea Bocelli version of the song. Bocelli is a musical genius as it is, but this version he does with a kids’ choir is simply amazing.

4. Feliz Navidad

Upbeat, fun and a great way to get into the holiday mood, Feliz Navidad should be on every Christmas playlist!

How could we skip this? North of the border this How could we skip this? 

North of the border this weekend to get away and hit a few caching events and geocache. Dinner tonight was at @harpersburgers, especially with outdoor seating and dog friendly! @harper_dublin got to enjoy a little of my #burger, of course. And, yes, I got poutine, duh! Great service and great food! Went back later for a spiked shake. This one was a Malibu Colada (malibu rum, dark rum, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice) … yum! 

Good times! Looking forward to another event and caches on Saturday before heading home!

Part one of the backyard work is done. New patio h Part one of the backyard work is done. New patio has been installed ... (the rock garden area is basically done, too ... but i need to put a few things up with it). The guy who did my patio did a great job... looks cool. 

I think Harper approves. 

One more step and we'll be set to really enjoy it back there with some shade!

Working on a few other landscaping things, too.

As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walk As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walking around the campus. It’s especially nice in the morning when college isn’t in session as it’s quiet and @harper_dublin can sniff and explore her surroundings (if in session, she will want to stop and meet every student etc.). I know a lot of people local walk the campus, and it’s really nice that we have something like this in our community to be able to do so.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
