Favorite Christmas Album: King & Queen Nom | 12 Days of #108Mas

As I have been considering bringing back the Favorite Album series in 2025, I thought we could get back to it in #108mas with our resident Christmas experts. Here’s what they gave us:

Name/Twitter Handle

Queen Nom – @Pockets125

What is your favorite xmas album?

A Very Kacey Christmas

Tell me about the first time you heard it

I honestly don’t remember because my brain sucks

How long before xmas do you start listening to it?

While our house is totally decked out in Christmas shit the day after Halloween, I usually don’t start enjoying Christmas music until December. I’m sure King Nom will divorce me over that (hopefully, at least) but who cares?

Why is this your favorite album?

I love Kacey Musgraves’ voice and I like that it has a few classics and some original songs with a great song featuring Willie Nelson. We should all listen and live by the lyrics: “May we all stay higher than the angel on the top of the tree”.

Which track would be your walk up music in the Winter League?

A Willie Nice Christmas

Name/Twitter Handle

King Nom – @buehrlecat

What is your favorite xmas album?

Kenny G. The Classic Christmas Album

Tell me about the first time you heard it

Back in my stoner days at NIU. The saxophone just hits a bit different when you are in a nice mellow mood!

How long before xmas do you start listening to it?

I’m a full on weirdo. The Christmas music for me starts as soon as the last trick or treater leaves.

Why is this your favorite album?

It’s just smooth and low key and can keep me in a good mood after a long day at work. It also helps me deal with having to live with Amy. Nobody knows how truly frustrating that can be.

Which track would be your walk up music in the Winter League?

Silver Bells. I love any and all versions of that song but the Kenny G one is a chef’s kiss!
