Today, I got up early without hitting snooze once. Why? Because I’m getting ready to board a bird headed south for the holidays!I don’t think I’ve ever spent Christmas in 80 degree weather, so I’m totally psyched, but since my idea of Santa isn’t a fat old dude in Bermuda shorts, I may need a little musical inspiration as the mercury rises.
As such, I give you my favorite Christmas songs, guaranteed to put the spirit in your holiday:
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – U2
No other version will do. Sing it to me, Bono. I’ll come home to you any day – and twice on Christmas!
Mele Kalikimaka – Jimmy Buffet
If it’s good enough for Clark W. Griswold, it’s good enough for me.
Christmas Eve/Sarajevo – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
I don’t know why they call it this instead of Carol of the Bells. But I like it anyway. Nice and loud.
Baby It’s Cold Outside – Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer
It’s cold outside is as good an excuse as any other to fool around. Maybe just a half a drink more…
All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
You are dead inside if you don’t like this song. It’s that simple.
Honorable mention goes to Dominick the Donkey, the Italian Christmas donkey. Apparently the singer, Lou Monte, began his illustrious career serenading the ladies with Pepino the Italian Mouse. Sensing a trend? Chingedy-ching (hee-haw, hee-haw).
Buon Natale -- Merry Christmas!

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg.
The batmobile, broke its wheel, the joker got a way, hey!
My personal favorite is "Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum" from Jimmy Buffet
"Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun]
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum"
