Noooo, it seems early for Christmas music, but it really isn’t at all. 😂😭
My top three favorites are:
1. Santa, Baby
2. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
3. 85% of Christmas songs they play in grocery storesOh wait, those are actually the songs that instantly fill me with rage when I hear them, got my lists mixed up. 😅😉😒
My real list is:
1. Silent Night
2. O Holy Night
3. Carol of the BellsI guess I am kind of a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas music, sorry for that. Oh well. 😂
Pretty funny TBB…
Enjoy some of the more modern songs but I’ll stick with a few of traditional hymns.
Wassail song
O holy night
O little town Bethlehem
Come all ye faithful
Away in the manger
It came upon midnight clear
What child is this
Angels we have headed on high
I know it’s more than 3 ☺️Wouldn’t mine few children tunes to play with them.
Good discussion Louisa@leb397, that’s a really good list! Angels We Have Heard On High would sound lovely on uke. I think Rock Class 101 did an arr of that one maybe?
I do also like a few modern Christmas songs, like Jingle Bell Rock, but I think I just associate a lot of those with annoying Christmas ads and things. 😅 Some are fun though.
A very alternative Christmas song could be “March of the Toreadors,” because nothing says Christmas like bullfighting and homicidal Chuck E. Cheese monsters. 😂
Not sure if it counts as a Xmas song but I would love to learn and play Last Christmas by Wham! sometime.
Speaking of it, does anyone know where to find this month’s live lesson recording? I don’t think @andrew has posted it yet. Does anyone know ?
Hi Nelson, I held off on releasing it last week since it opened up with Matt playing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” which was the lesson we released on Friday. It’ll be up this week, probably Wednesday.
We have a lesson on “Last Christmas.” It came out last year 🙂
@The_Bumble_Bard – We’ve done that one too.@Andrew, sweet! Thank you! I thought I remembered seeing that here. I think it stuck in my mind because Katie’s singing was so beautiful in that lesson. 😊
I also immediately figured out a simple arr. of that one stealing Matt’s riff (?) from Deck the Halls because it sounded so amazing. 😅
