Christmastime

I love Christmas music. I know that it is early to say that, but I do and I listen to it all year long. It seems to calm me down, when I listen to it on my free time. Now my siblings don't like it, but I sure do. I love the spirit that it gives me, because I know that when I listen to it, I can just be myself.

My top 15 favorite Christmas songs are:
15. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
14. Silver Bells
13. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
12. Don't Save It All For Christmas Day
11. Merry Christmas Darling
10. Oh Holy Night
9. Last Christmas
8. All I Want For Christmas is You
7. Home for the Holidays
6. Feliz Navidad
5. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
4. Carol of the Bells
3. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2. Sleigh Ride
1. Baby It's Cold Outside

As you can see, Christmas music is my favorite genre of music to listen to. I can do a few instrumentals because I have taught myself the timing of the introductions for when I should start to sing. The first challenge of an instrumental that I had was with the song "Sleigh Ride". I had to watch the Will Ferrell movie, Elf, over and over and over again, until I got it. Now when I hear that instrumental, since I know the timing, I can sing it like I'm not even trying to be with the timing of the song, because it's natural to me now.

When I did the song "Silver Bells", it was a bit more of a challenge because I didn't know all of the lyrics until my sophomore year of high school and I am still learning that timing, but I have become very good at that one also.

So you can see that I love Christmas music, and enjoy the peace that it brings to me, when I listen to it. For me, it is a stress reliever that I can come home to and be alone, and just be myself when I sing those songs.
