Jingle Bells Rock, Sleigh Bells Ring, and Ye Merry Gentlemen Rest

Christmas would not be complete without listening to some classic holiday music. And let's be honest, it's pretty hard to get away from some songs, as they are played over and over in stores, throughout Christmas films, and on all holiday adverts. But nevertheless, they make the season what it is! Whether its a classical bit of the nutcracker, or ave maria, or a little bit of Wizzard's Christmas Everyday, or Slade's Merry Christmas everyone, these songs never fail to bring a smile to my face.
I had a roommate who refused to listen to any Christmas music until December. Before that, was too soon. Come December first however, and from the moment he woke up, Christmas music could be heard faintly emanating from his room. Christmas at university meant singing O Come all Ye Faithful at the top of our lungs to ensure everyone in our building was awake for the Christmas festivities!
Every year, along with the classic songs, new tunes are added to my iTunes Christmas repertoire. This year, two stand out in particular. One is from The Killers, who do a Christmas song each year. 2010's is called Boots and echoes the classic story of It's a Wonderful Life! It even has some lyrics from the film during the opening of the video. Watch this one; every time you watch Starbucks donates money to a charity.

This second one is from one of my all time favourite bands, Coldplay. I hope you like it.
