I usually do a Favorite Christmas Music but I'm purposely not buying much, not trolling iTunes in my usual fashion. (If you don't shop, you aren't tempted to spend money.) But I have some rather thorough previous lists, if you're interested. And if you love a song, but have no movies, use zamzar to lift it off youtube (if available.)
I've only bought two wintry albums and haven't imbibed them enough to give reviews. But here's a song from each...
Hawksley Workman's Full Moon Eleven
Here's his excellent cover of Bruce Cockburn's "On the Coldest Night of the Year". I like it better than the original. I just uploaded it, and apologize if it disappears or something.
Kate Bush's 50 Words for Snow
Here's a song from the point of view of a snowflake. Ya... cause that's the way she rolls.
Speaking of Kate Bush, I only recently discovered that she released another album this year: Director's Cut. It's basically a bunch of covers of her songs... by her. It's really good! Here's the official video for "Deeper Understanding" starring Robbie Coltrane.
And it seems her youtube page also released a bunch of old videos I've never seen.
Just being alive, it can really hurt
These moments given, are a gift from time
I had a head cold this weekend, so this post is about all I can muster. Off to bed now...

Hope you is feeling better soon ... drink lots of water...
Interesting short story about the monkeys ... just goes to show, money can't buy love 'specially when you try to purchase it from monkeys!
I've enjoyed Kate Bush since way-back-when ... nice to know she's still strutting her stuff.
Nice of you to read the story :-) I'd forgotten I read it years ago, until the monkeys showed up!
Kate Bush's last album was still quite good, and so far this one looks promising.
