Musical Advent Calendar: Day Nineteen

[carolinecrane]

To wrap up our little run of Motown classics, I've saved the very best* for last. These songs are fun and happy and get me in exactly the right mood to enjoy the holidays, no matter how far behind I am with preparations, or how stressed I get. Plus, the vocals are always amazing.

Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town
The Christmas Song
Up On the House

Well, as long as you're *respectful*! I grew up with the Jacksons. Not literally...just at the same time! We all loved them. I still have Thriller, what can I say? Crazy and dysfunctional, check, check. But so talented.

Love Up On a Roof Top. Good cover. Thanks for the smiles!

Jackson 5 are wondrous, the very best! (Since I grew up in the New Jersey suburbs, tho, I have to believe that Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town is second best
