This is a bit early for me to get in the Christmas spirit. (Yes, I did just dare use the C-word.) But I figure I may as well give in at this point. I've already started my holiday shopping at the GreenFestival last weekend and have been perusing cookie recipes in Martha Stewart, so singing carols and hanging the lights are not far behind.
This year, I'm finding the George Winston Linus & Lucy album of songs for the Peanuts specials to be good holiday bridge music. They have that holiday association, but not necessarily overtly Christmas. Not usually a jazz fan, but somehow it fits.
ReplyDeleteYesterday at Safeway they snuck in a holiday tune on me between some classic rock - I'm humming away to Aerosmith perusing the sweet potatoes and *bam* all of a sudden "it's the most wonderful time of the year." Ugh!
