singing holiday tunes during the holidays often puts me in a greatshopping frame of mind. When I hear christmas music, I become happy and lively. With that feeling during the holidays, I find that is the best time to shop for presents. warmer climates that do not have frequent snows and cold stormy days that remind us it is Christmas time, holiday music helps us imagine settings of snowy days that are commonly associated with the holiday season.

Holiday Music

  1. Sleigh Ride
  2. Baby It\’s Cold Outside
  3. Frosty The Snowman
  4. Feliz Navidad
  5. Silver Bells

Many songs, like Sleigh Ride, offer a mental picture of a wonderful Christmas evening. The song Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire speaks of Jack Frost, dressing like Eskimos, children full of joy. The song White Christmas talks of sleigh bells in the snow and the days being merry and bright. What could be better to put you in the holiday mood?

Some may whistle while they work, but I enjoy singing, or at least listen to Christmas music while I shop. I have to say, unless my child is with me, I prefer the classics sung by Johnny Mathis and Judy Garland. A couple of classic songs by those singers before, during and after shopping really make it easier for me to cope with the other shoppers when it comes time to buy gifts.
