This pharyngeal fricative is impatience, annoyance, frustration, and many other things not-Xmas.
Marty Robbins wants “One of You [In Every Size].” Then he compares you to a doll that sighs and kisses, like you’re not even a person that he can see. Unfortunate message, but swing country.
CHG music weaves a country folk romantic reunion on “Next Christmas Eve.” He thinks it’s cute when you end all your thoughts with a sigh. Surely that means you’ve had enough of his silliness?!
With a smirk and a sigh, Curtis Onstott gives us “A Cynics Christmas.” Silly pop with an agenda.
Perhaps this breath can be upbeat? AI from Linhy pitches “Home for Christmas Again” as worthy of a joyful sigh. Jouncy jazz pop.
Anni Krueger revisits a happy childhood family holiday when she had to stay outside until she heard Bing Crosby sigh. Not sure about that, but “I Wish I Could Go Home This Christmas” is fine diva lounge work.

Poor living results in No laughter, no joy, just a house full of sighs in WESTbrook’s “Silent Silent Night.” But childish hopes are not tragic here. It’s pop.
“If You Don’t Want to See Santa Claus Cry” or sigh when he should be ho-ing, then give Alan Jackson another chance. He’s all honky tonk mopey ’til then.
Crank up the easy listening as Lou Torrieri & John Banrock ask “Don’t Make the Lord Sigh on Christmas.” I am not kidding.
