Treasure Cove: [Christmas] On Repeat

okay, i'm back...with a handful of sweet little tunes (if you missed the previous playlist, click here), except this time its a mix of wintery+Christmas songs to get me in the mood for the holidays. is it just me but every year seems less and less exciting come Christmastime? i find that terribly sad, but that's for another post. quick note: please keep in mind, these are just a couple of my favorites. if you want Christmas songs by the double, just crank up the oldies station on your radio, you'll have no trouble there. that being said, playlist, LESSGOOO!

01 kicking it off with [tobymac ft. owl city- the first noel] of course, with every playlist i have, adam young somehow winds up on it. ohh what can i say...he'll be back laterr ;) being a fan of tobymac and mega-fan of adam (haha i'm a megaaa fannn, whatever that means), i thought this version was decent. didn't dig the rap at all, but it was bearable. adam+toby definitely made an interesting match vocal wise.



02 [the almost-little drummer boy] ahh this is hands-down my favorite rendition of this song. listening to the guitar and drums paints the image of the drummer boy, does it not?

03 [glee cast- last christmas] before you ask, let me just say i have never in my whole life watched a single episode of glee. ever. however, i'd be lying if i said i had never listened to any of their covers. i'll admit it, they are a brilliant group with talented voices. as for the show... i've heard, not so much...

04 [glee cast- baby it's cold outside cover] (jake coco+savannah outen) i find it funny how i'm posting covers from youtubers i think are aite. welll, sometimes you know, they do make some good covers. love the lyrical dialogue--the playful banter rings with a bit of wit.  




05 FIIIIIIIVEEEE GOOOOOLDEEENN RINNNNGSSS [relient k-12 days of Christmas] what's a Christmas without this song? no clue. ha. a classic with a twist.

06 [justin bieber-mistletoe] just because you see JB in the house does not by any means indicate that i am a fan girl. faaar from it, but i will say the guy has improved some since his, uhm, shall we say pubescent days? you don't think so? just admit it, ever since rebecca black skyrocketed to disaster overnight, the bieb's voice has become almost angelic to your ears. still no? wellllll, you know what they say...HATERZ GON HATE. 

07 [julia sheer-have yourself a merry little christmas] i'm that sad little person who never knew the lyrics to this song other than the "have yourself a merry little christmas uhh, something, ooh la la troubles will be gone..." hahaha pathetic, i know. its one of those things you think you know so well, but really...you don't.  

08 [owl city-tip of the iceberg] welcome back winter once again and put on those warm fuzzy sweaters and you'll feel much better when...

09 this is, by far, my favorite out of all the songs on this playlist. [coldplay-christmas lights] nothing like a little coldplay to put a smile on my face. though, i must say it sounds less of a christmas song and more of a i-just-broke-up-with-my-significant-other-help-me-please-it's-depressing. on a side note, if you get me that piano, i'll love you forever.




10 sometimes one can get a tad bit caught up and winded with all the busyness (read shopping) of this season. [mike tompkins-the christmas rush] i bet you know what he's talking about and that, my dear friends, is why...

11 ...stopping yourself and giving a good rap on the noggin' to remember Christmas is the reason behind everything is a necessity. [hillsong united-born is the king] (also, double brownie pts for the confetti, cute kids and banjo haha)

12 [david crowder band-angels we have heard on high] so sad these guys are disbanding (or have rather). thank goodness they were gracious enough to put out another cd before they disappeared. i love this song especially. it just makes me wanna jump around and sing on the top of my lungs. and IS THAT A FIDDLE I HEAR?!

13 no reason at all, i've gotten tired of listening to people sing "silent night". it's not that i don't like the song, but it's just i don't know...too overdone? i'm sure without a shadow of a doubt, you know all the verses by heart, right (well at LEAST the first verse)? totally something to reflect on while you listen to [lindsey stirling-silent night]. so beautifully done. 




14 [home:word-magnetic north and taiyo na] it's not a wintery song nor a Christmasy song, so why is it on here? i don't know about you but i think there's so much about home that plays into this time of the year. the description box of the video puts it into better words than i can...

15 if you've ever wondered what harry shum jr dancing to the sugar plum fairy theme from the nutcracker would look like, it'd no doubt look a little something like this. awesome, right?

16 of course this list wouldn't be complete without [handel's messiah hallelujah chorus] brought to you by a flash mob! classy riightt derrr. cut the flash mob, my favorite would have to be [for unto us (handel's messiah)]. i know what i'll be listening to when i put the christmas tree up. 

17 alright last ones totally for kicks. i saw it awhile ago & not to delve too deep into it but i'm sure nobody would mind if you just left santa's lap reserved for the kids...please. ;)



honestly, i have no idea why i put numbers on my playlist 'cause now it look like i have hardly anything on here. oh silllyy mee... well hope you lovelies are doing swelll. i'll see you soon. PEACE.
