Advent Calender - Day 15

Today I'm sharing "Happy Christmas" performed by Lifehouse. As many of you know, I love Lifehouse. Something about their music sounds like my characters to me (although it's really hard to explain what I mean by that)


. Anyway, Lifehouse doesn't have a holiday album, so our options were somewhat limited. Still...you can never go wrong with John Lennon. (At least...I've always thought John Lennon wrote this?)


Do you have a favorite holiday song?

    Thank you for sharing. I've never heard Lifehouse before, but I like them.

    My favorite holiday song is Do You Hear What I Hear. Not sure why it's my favorite, but I've loved it since my 6th grade Christmas chorus concert.

    My favorite Christmas song is Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I use it as my ringtone this time of year I love it so much :)

      That's a good one!

      I'm partial to The Rebel Jesus and (for sheer sentiment) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

    Thanks, Josh. This is lovely. It seems you are asking whether John Lennon wrote this song; he did in 1971 with Yoko. I have many favorites, some I don't know the name of, unfortunately, but I too love Santa Baby.

    Oh, I have way too many favorites! When I was growing up we had one Christmas record that we continually played. It was a compilation album with carols by everybody from Peggy Lee to Bobby Darrin to Leontyne Price. All the classics.

    One of my favorites is "Angels We Have Heard on High." When I was in Elementary School, we used to attend a Christmas music program at the local university and the university choir would always enter the auditorium carrying lighted candles, singing that song. It always gave me the chills.

    I love Greensleeves as well.

    My favorite though, is "Oh Holy night."...and don't mock me for saying this, but one of my favorite renditions is by N'SYNC. The five-part harmony that they do is just wonderful. They singing acapella, which is even more impressive. Don't mock it until you've heard it. Lol.

    Love Santa Baby, love I Believe in Father Christmas (Emerson, Lake, & Palmer), and I love Steven Page/the Barenaked Ladies' Hanukkah Blessings. Kind of an eclectic holiday set, yes?

    Seems like they cheered up the lyrics a bit from the John Lennon version (The war is over, and a new one just begun...)

    And so this is Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
