Mr. Mustachio's 2010 Christmas CD

I figured that since I shared my Halloween CD for this year, I might as well share my Christmas 2010 mix also. As before, I am willing to let you “borrow” a copy of the CD if you would like. It worked out that this year’s edition totaled 25 songs. Except for my top three (which will precede the track listing), the songs are in random order. Here are my top 3 favorite Christmas songs this year:

#3 Electronic Santa – Blazer Force

This song has been on a Target commercial this year, and I can’t get it out of my head.

#2 Mistletoe – Colbie Caillat

I really like her voice and the simplicity of the music helps accentuate that.

#1 Hooray for Santa Claus – Milton Delugg & The Little Eskimos

This song was new to me this year and comes from a movie that will be added to my must see list titled, “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”. How could a movie with that title not be good? Especially with such a catchy song.

Mr. Mustachio's 2010 Halloween CD

Perhaps the thing I enjoy most about the holidays at the end of the year is the music. I like to listen to Halloween and Christmas music during those seasons, and like to search for new music each year. This Halloween was no different. I have found music that is new to me, and thought I might share it with you. I usually burn a few CDs to play in the car or around the house each year. I will share with you my 2010 Halloween music CD track list. The disc consists of the Halloween songs I have enjoyed most during this holiday season. I will start with my top 3 favorite Halloween songs of 2010(Because I know everyone wonders what Mr. Mustachio likes to listen to). After that the order is just random. All the songs fit on an 80 minute disc. If you are nice to me, I might let you "borrow" the disc.

At the end of this post is a pretty comprehensive list of the Halloween related music that I have found over the years. What makes a song Halloween related? In my opinion, that can be determined by the song title, the lyrics or the melody. If you know of more, feel free to comment. I always appreciate being able to add to my collection.
