Hedwig’s Theme - John Williams

Christmas is a time where innocence is reborn into our hearts. A time of wonderment where your inner child is awakened once again. Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone’s score, masterfully composed by John Williams, captures that whimsical nature of Christmas. I will forever whistle this tune on cold Christmas Eve evenings while my family and I sip nutella-infused hot chocolate and gather around the warm fireplace. Happy Christmas everyone!

“You’re a wizard, Harry.” -Hagrid

Winter Has Arrived And All I Need Is You (8tracks Playlist)

In the dead of winter when the world is in a slumber as it’s blanketed by the snow, all I need is you wrapped under my arms. All I need is your warm soul touching mine. All I need is your smile to light up the grey skies outside. All I need is you and only you.

What’s This - Danny Elfman

What’s this? Well, it’s only the best holiday song ever recorded from the greatest holiday movie (The Nightmare Before Christmas) ever made! Christmas is a time for cheer, so why not make fun of it! The sight of procrastinators stampeding malls to buy that perfect last-minute gift like wild cattle desperate for food, the obscene amount of too-perky-for-its-own-good Christmas songs drowning the radio waves, the gallons upon gallons of eggnog that taste amazing the first few pints but at the end of the night you’re absolutely sick of it, the seizure-inducing decorations on every house, and watching It’s A Wonderful Life for the hundredth time. Yes, Christmas is a hilarious season and that’s why I love it so much. So Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your Christmas is super stuffed with holiday cheer and tons and tons of awesome gifts!
