Remember me saying <\/a>that I had that big ol’ iPod full of empty space, just waiting for the right music to come along and fill it up? That was before I remembered that the holidays are upon us. And you’d better believe that a bona fide Christmas junkie like me has, erm, a few <\/em>Christmas CDs laying around…<\/p>\n

Holiday music<\/div>\n

By the time I finished adding these to my iPod, it was well over half full!<\/p>\n

My top ten favourite Christmas songs from this well-padded collection:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Little Drummer Boy\/Peace on Earth – David Bowie and Bing Crosby<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Baby, It’s Cold Outside – Dina Shore<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Do They Know It’s Christmas? – Band Aid (what can I say, I’m a child of the 80s at heart)<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – U2<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt (This is also Simon’s favourite – he likes the “ba-doum, ba-doum”s)<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. O Holy Night – Luciano Pavarotti<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm – Dean Martin – although the Ella and Louis version is also excellent<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. I Believe in Father Christmas – Honeymoon Suite<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. O Tannenbaum – Vince Guaraldi Trio<\/em><\/li>\n
  10. Twelve Days of Christmas – Bob and Doug McKenzie (I know, I know, but it still makes me laugh)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A decidedly secular collection, in retrospect. I do love traditional carols, too, but more to sing them than to listen to recordings of them. And I’m seriously thinking of downloading the Trans Siberian Orchestra’s Christmas Eve\/Sarajevo.<\/p>\n
