My Favorite Christmas Carols...

I have a few favorite Christmas songs.

First, Silent Night. Reason? It tests my vocal range...which I don't really have. But I like to push it anyway.

Second, O Holy Night. Reason? One single line tugs at my heart more than any other. "...Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices..." It's the best line of any song ever. Period. I think it just has such a personal connection for me. At any time during the year I can listen to this song and get goosebumps.

On a side note, did you know that scientists studied the personality types which get goosebumps while listening to music? Apparently, the common thread in all the people they studied had "Openness" as a common personality trait. Interesting yes? I'm a bit of a science nerd at heart. I don't know the details of the study, I just read it in the news.

Thirdly, because I'm a redneck..."The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas." Yes, I'm a redneck. Proud of it. Working Man is my Redneck Romeo and I'm his Tailgate Juliet. (By the way, I stole that from Jason Aldean's "My Kind of Party." Couldn't help it.)
