Some Christmas Top 5's

My cousin Michelle over at Just Jump, started by doing Christmas Songs and Christmas Cartoons. I added a few more. Number one is my TOP/FAVORITE in the list.

My Top 5 Christmas Songs:

5) Joy To The World (not the traditional, the one by Nicholas Jonas that plays on my blog- yes this is the same kid that is now in the Jonas Brothers but is him when he was around 7 years old.)

4) Josh Groban's rendition of I'll Be Home For Christmas with all the messages from military personel

3) You're a Mean One Mr Grinch- THE ORIGINAL from the cartoon movie.

2) Little Drummer Boy- Bing Crosby with David Bowie (what an unusual combo, but such a gorgeous song)

1) O Holy Night- Especially by Josh Groban, and if not him, I love an alto female singing a capella with a choir coming in behind her.


My Top 5 Christmas Movies (Not just cartoons for me)

5) Christmas with The Kranks

4) A Christmas Story (It's an Award!)

3) A Charlie Brown Christmas

1) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original cartoon version)
