If you were born in the 60's or any time afterwards this song has probably been part of your childhood soundtrack. As the opener to A Charlie Brown Christmas it sets the tone for the greatest television Christmas special of all. Can you imagine a children's Christmas special produced today having this understated somewhat mournful jazz number as it's opener? But it, like the special itself, has stood the test of time. Few numbers can get me feeling more nostalgic.
The list so far:
12. Christmas Time Is Here (Vince Guaraldi Trio)
13. Christmas [Baby Please Come Home] (Darlene Love)
14. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Barenaked Ladies)
15. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Judy Garland)
16. Deck the Halls (Mannheim Steamroller)
17. I'll Be Home for Christmas (Bing Crosby)
18. We Need a Little Christmas (Johnny Mathis)
19. There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays (The Carpenters)
20. Jingle Bell Rock (Buddy Helms)
21. I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus (The Jackson 5)
22. All I Want for Christmas (Mariah Carey)
23. O Holy Night (Josh Groban)
24. Santa Baby (Eartha Kitt)
25. Feliz Navidad (Jose Feliciano
