Roasted Chestnuts, Vol. 1
'Tis the season to make at least one more post before we close the book on 2010 and what better way to celebrate than with my favorite Christmas Songs. Now this list is anything but traditional, but you'll find a few sprinkled throughout, along with a couple of classics. Last year I may have written something with a similar flair , but I implore you to read on as this will not be the same post re-hashed with just 50% new material. When I sat down to make this list, the first thing that came to mind was a conversation I had with Lisa . As we reminisced about our favorite songs, we came to the realization that the ones that are highly regarded as genuine "Christmas Classics" (specifically of the 1940s and 1950s) were considered very modern at the time of their initial release. So, when you hear the "Next Generation X-mas Tunes" that plague the pop radio airwaves today, one could very well argue that they might be acknowledged as modern classics 50
