We asked GL staffers a tough question before heading off
for the holidays:
What’s your favorite Christmas song? Here’s what they said…
“‘Winter's Night by the Weepies.’ A mellow, indie
Christmas-y tune that is also so sweet and romantically cute, it's the musical
equivalent of a rainbow made out of candy canes. Makes me wish for the days of
driving around the town with my boyfriend Will super late on Christmas Eve,
sipping hot chocolate out of a thermos and looking at all the fabulously
decorated houses.”—Karen Bokram, founding editor/publisher
“Stevie Wonder’s ‘One Little Christmas Tree’. Stevie Wonder
always reminds me of my dad.”—Patty O’Donnell, senior national advertising
sales director
“I love listening to ‘The Christmas Shoes’ by NewSong. It
makes me tear up every single time I hear it.”—Patricia McNamara, associate
editor
“My all-time fave Christmas song is ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum
Fairy’ from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcraker Suite. Every Christmas, my Dad and I go see the Nutcracker ballet together—a
tradition that's been going on for over 20 years!”—Jessica D’Argenio,
fashion and beauty assistant
"My favorite Christmas song is 'Christmas Canon’ by the
Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Doesn't ring a bell? Check it out on YouTube...it's
the most beautiful song. Brings a tear to my eye eyery time.”—Keri Wilson,
sales and marketing manager
“I love ‘Christmas Wrapping’ by The Waitresses—it’s about a
wacky, year-long missed connection with a boy. Sure, the classics are great
(‘White Christmas,’ anyone?) and Love Actually made me fall for ‘All I want for
Christmas Is You’ but, at the end of the day, I’m more likely to slip in the
snow than wind up with a cutie under the mistletoe—and I like a holiday anthem
that keeps it real. Spoiler alert: The couple in the song end up bonding over
forgotten cranberries. See? It’s not totally grinch-y.”—Katie Abbondanza,
senior editor
“‘Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays’ by 'N Sync. I've been
singing along to this fast paced Holiday tune for over ten years now.
I love the boys' vocals and how uplifting the song is!”—Caitlin Farley,
intern
