I love holiday songs, old and new. I really like the Charlie Brown Christmas songs. Such great memories.
I've never been a very big fan of holiday music or movies, but I do have one Christmas/winter album, Almost a Full Moon by Hawksley Workman, which I do really like. My favourite song might be Learn How to Knit, which is all about how he's going to knit his way to seeing his love over the holidays - "I'll knit you a sweater / I'll knit you a scarf / I'll knit a cigarette holder / I'll knit you an aeroplane to fly and meet me here / I'll knit you the nicest taxi cab to pick you up from the airport"
