What else can we do in bed Xmas Day?

Hey Monea! pop down the fun with “Christmas in Bed.” They don’t need the snow to show them where their lips should go. (?!?)

Eliza Doolittle also wants to spend “Christmas in Bed.” This time the finger poppin’ R+B smooves the innuendo into a rocking rhythm (not rolling, just rocking).

Even more “Christmas in Bed” from Jade Novah soulsters the R+B back into romantic realms. But, when she says she doesn’t need any gift wrapping in bed… am i reading too much into that?

Word salad may be more indicative of dreamscape than falling asleep. But i loves me some figurativization in my lyrics.

“Food Coma” is a whole ‘nother repose around the holidays. Comic rap from Young Adults Unleashed runs the menu of symptoms.

“Öh, It’s Christmastime Again!” from Half-handed Cloud has dream imagery, and just plain dream in it. But this indie pop delight ends with going back to sleep (‘cuz it’s Christmas time)! Yes, please.

Could just be that time of the year, for sleeping long and loud that is.

Jars of Clay ask for a “Hibernation Day” when the snow piles high. No sledding! No snowballs! Just chill! Groovy indie pop.

John McCutcheon goes full mental blanket with “Hibernation.” Sleep: it’s not just what’s for Christmas. If you can sleep for months, you’ll miss school! Lively folk pop.

Sara Noelle also rearranges the biorhythms with “I’ll Sleep ‘Til Christmas,” an ethereal indie that supposes Mother Earth going under a blanket of snow for all of us getting lethargic this time of year. Hauntingly seasonal.

Parody much? The Fab Four-based “Winter Slumbers Medley” by Dodge Family Christmas 2012 puts me in a hibernating mood. Amoo-hoo-hoo-sing.

Reubannase also makes merry with their “Christmas Gaga” about going to bed (and getting up again). It’s the circle of lull.

Bennty discloses with horrible acoustics that grownups need “Bedtime, Christmas Day.” Indie lounge piano that cries from the heart.

Polysomnography: Lights Out

“Dryer Steam” paints an idyllic bedscape. Durand Bernarr’s R+B ode to warm, fresh sheets offers the adults here a siren call to bed.

Bacio also enjoys a sleep. “I Can’t Wake Up At Dawn” is indie anthemizing with almost too much up beat in the melody. I’ll never sleep through this.

I guess everyone goes to sleep on Dec. XXIV. “Have Yourself a Merry Secular Xmas” is Connor Ratliff & Mikey Erg’s inclusive folk pop about going to bed, just going to sleep, you know, no big thing.

So, Baby Jesus is born on Christmas and all. And he’s tender and mild. No crying, first words, or weird poops. That just leaves beaming beatifically… and sleeping.

“Tiny Little Baby” by Cheryl L. Gleason is about that heavenly slumber; but its kidsong punctuated with Shushes. Who’s making a racket? The donkey?

“Softly Sleeps a Little Boy” is Michael Warner leading the chorus in… well… louder and louder chorale. Shush!

The Caroleers crescendo in a churchload hymn-otizing “Softly the Night is Sleeping.” It’s all solemn, serious, and short (from like a Readers’ Digest of hymns). Bow your heads and snore.

Polysomnography: Are You Sure You Went Potty?

I’ll sleep until I’m tired, declares Norick Eve in the string-heavy indie “Christmas Sox.” They seem to have stopped fighting it finally.

Cori Connor’s “Sleepy Little Town” puts the whole village down for a rest for the holidays. Melodic folk.

Welcome back, The Rosebuds! “Blackout Choir” takes their indie folk perfection to the whole world, asleep though it be.

Fun Yunz pull the amateurish boys in the basement amusing themselves schtick with “Sleepy Time.” Ostensibly a folk strummer of Xmas anticipation, but it’s just a sophomoric crackup.

Maple Leaf Learning’s “Ho Ho Ho Intro” points out how late it is (nine o’clock!). It’s only a spoken intro, but the lesson is timeless (well, figuratively).

Speaking of spoken “We’ve Got A Lotta Latkes” from The Jewish Wedding Band begins with food, but leads to bedtime. Consult your doctor if this kidsong persists more than four minutes. (It’s about time our good friend Hanukkah required sleep.)

“It’s the Eve” from Black Cherry succinctly send you a Good Night with chanting a la pop.

“Sleep Well Little Children” is the Rosemary Clooney easy listening warbler from long ago. (From yon and yawn.) It’s about Xmas Eve, so not just a lullaby.

Richard Schletty (w/André Van Haren) machinates the sentiment with an oddly steampunk chorale in “Sleep, Baby, Sleep.” It’s uplifting AND dehumanizing!

How hard is it to corral the kids Xmas Eve?

Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands croon to children “Go to Sleep.” It’s from a sort-of Christmas musical, so it gets in.

“Jingle Jingle Bling Bling” is Youth on Track’s rap about Eve prep. The kids need to sleep gets put on a loop.

Kj52 & Spechouse want to know: Do You Not Know How to Sleep?! in the hilarious parental meltdown “Go to Bed.” Rap fun with Jingle Bells influences.
