Pump Up My Siberian Sleigh Ride
Yep. That's all I want for Christmas. Well... I could settle for a little less... something. Besides the surprise Christmas presents under the tree, I stumbled upon the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and I have to say, this has GOT to be the best stumble ever in my playlist's history. 
Like Amazon reviews put it, "If you're looking for something out of the ordinary for the season, The Lost Christmas Eve is for you." Upon doing some research on the band's biography, it turns out that the band was formed in 1996 by Paul O'Neill, who was later joined by friends, writers, composers and collaborators, to create music "that was so melodic it didn't need lyrics. And lyrics that were so poetic that they didn't need music but once you put the two of them together, the sum of the parts would be greater than the whole, and you couldn't imagine them apart." Wow, that IS some serious brain-storming that went into the making of this league of... extraordinary (the very best) singers and musicians and genre-mixing the classical, rock, Broadway and R & B worlds. O'Neill set out to create a Christmas Trilogy - The Lost Christmas Eve being the last volume. Not going into the details about the story behind every album of theirs, this album's about a little angle sent to earth to complete Jesus's unfinished work. Of course, its the new world he lands into, and what more perfect city to start... than New York. I first listened to Siberian Sleigh Ride, and was enraptured. The slow piano start, which fuses into heavy electric guitar and organ would have the same effect on any new-age rock and classical music fans. It reminded me of Aerosmith and a lot of the hard rock (that I thought I couldn't listen to at a stretch, but surprise surprise!). The Wisdom of Snow is another favorite of mine - soft, flowing piano keys that just mellow out your soul... A similar song would be Christmas Bells, Carousels and Time - this one haunting with tinkling bells and a "something-lurks-in-the-shadows" feel to it. Over-all, the perfect Christmas music for all kinds of music lovers. 
You'll find a song in there that is just right for you - and probably one that suits your Christmas spirit. And if your spirit needs some pumpin', there's Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas for it. Their whacky lyrics, booty-shakin' hip-hop, R&B beats get you up on your feet and whisk out that old accessory that screams "MONKEY BUSINESS!" Uhm, not really, but its the kind of music that would put some spunk in you and make you want to hit the club. Be good though... Santa likes good kids :) Fergie, the female lead singer, is amazing. Her voice IS her attitude... and what an attitude she's got. Very, very... nice, boys. Thats what I'll be listening to these holidays. Spending quality brat-time with loved ones. Have a smashin' New Year's and a Christmas that would drive Santa crazy. If you know what I mean. Sooo.. turn up the radio, blast the stereoOooOo riiiight now ;) Stay safe and have a good time!
