Haiku Friday: Holiday Music


I love Christmas music, advent music, Hannukah music... and I'm sorting through my favorites right now. It's hard to argue with the Maccabeats for Hannukah, though.

What's your fav? What moves you? Let's haiku!

Here is mine:

I watched a choir
They were just practicing, but...
Beauty makes me cry.

Now it is your turn. I will allow some leeway this week on the syllables... just make it three short lines.

Comments:
A Restaurant in
Edina That only
serves cheese: No one's fat?

Must be all of those parades.
 
My Christmas wish--
Send me an Osler CD!
Want the goofy tunes.
 
I shall play you the song of my people.

The Finns get a little weird around Yuletide, but they make the best of it. Drink hale!
 
LOVE Chritmas Wrapping
Explained it to nine year old.
Now she loves it too!
 
Silent night still moves
Stealthily into my heart
Can't help but sing it
 
Driving to LSATS
It's dark and cold; this song's on
I'll never forget.

Foghat's Christmas tune:
"All I Want For Christmas Is
You" rocks my speakers.
 
Little tenors sing
carols in the car, although-
they don't know the words!
 
Cricket's; post Ping Pong.
Man slips me a homemade disc.
Boy did I feel cool...
 
O Holy Night.
Gets me every time.
Especially in a candlelit church.
 
A-Capella choir
O Come O Come Emmanuel
Rejoice! Rejoice!

Music to stir the soul
 
The Walkmen's "Christmas Party" isn't bad either
 
Put on yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
O.J. Simpson - not a Jew
 
Handel's Messiah
I know every word now
Scripture's better sung.
 
I went to Fred Meyer (grocery store)the other day and actually DANCED with my cart to this song

IN THE STORE. SO embarrassing. All the stock people, customers were looking at me and I totally did not care.

But then, I Never really mind those "WHO IS THAT CRAZY OLD LADY AND WHAT IS SHE DOING???" type of looks. Usually from the same people who come up and tell me that my "Grandson" is so cute..
 
PS:

I think one of my Christmas wishes recently came true... jury still out but its looking good. AWESOME.

A long December
Maybe Elvis had it right
A blue, blue Christmas.
 
The weather outside
is frightful, but the fire is
so-oh delightful ...

Let it snow, Let it snow, let it snow - up there in Minnesota!
 
Lo, how a rose e'er
blooming, from tender stem hath sprung! From Jesse’s lineage.
