Can you imagine the torture I’d inflict on a child?<\/em><\/p>\n

He’s not knocked down the tree or lifted his leg on it. Yet. Stealing ornaments is another matter altogether.<\/p>\n

I’m playing along with a holiday meme I saw over at <\/span>Liza’s<\/span><\/a> and elsewhere to list 10 favorite Christmas songs. My favorites are mostly traditional carols…<\/p>\n

1. O Holy Night<\/em> – this is my absolute favorite carol, I think.<\/p>\n

2. <\/span>Please Come Home for Christmas<\/em><\/span><\/a> by the Eagles<\/p>\n

3. Carol of the Bells<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Peace on Earth\/Little Drummer Boy<\/em> by David Bowie and Bing Crosby<\/p>\n

5. <\/span>Same Old Lang Syne<\/em><\/span><\/a> by Dan Fogelberg – I won’t admit to liking anything else by him, but this one makes me cry every single time I hear it.<\/p>\n

6. <\/span>Earth Abides<\/em><\/span><\/a> by Philip Aaberg – a nicely quiet piano piece<\/p>\n

7. <\/span>Fairytale of NY<\/em><\/span><\/a> by The Pogues – not one you’d ever hear on the radio, but an old favorite I was reminded of by reading other responses to this meme. Be warned… The Pogues are something of an acquired taste!<\/p>\n

8. Silent Night<\/em> – this one is all about the setting… I love hearing it on Christmas Eve, at midnight, holding a small candle in front of me at church with hot wax dripping onto my fingers.<\/p>\n

9. Wexford Carol<\/em><\/p>\n

10. <\/span>Peace<\/em><\/span><\/a> by Norah Jones<\/p>\n
