Music For Cooking: A Very She & Him Christmas.

by Veeda on October 24, 2011 · 14 comments

I recieved an early Christmas present from Brendan this morning when I opened up my inbox and saw this album (pictured above) in my e-mail. Yes, I am one of those gals that finds Zooey Deschanel adorable. When she collaborates with M.Ward in She & Him, I find her even cuter.

I am already anticipating this upcoming holiday season . . . and nothing makes holiday baking more fun than tinkering around the kitchen to Christmas music. Sugar cookies. Gingerbread houses. Fruitcake. I can’t wait! (Just kidding, I’ve never made fruitcake.)

If you’re into classic Christmas music with sweet acoustic charm, you’ll probably love this album. Just from my preview listening, I’m already a fan. And best yet, Amazon is offering the MP3 download of the entire album today for $5.

Preview and buy on Amazon here. A very merry early Christmas to you.

Anyone else looking forward to the holidays? Or are you still getting things ready for your Trick or Treaters?

I loved her duet in Elf! Thanks for the $5 tip… even though I’m a total dork and have to have the actual cd to really be happy about it. Christmas music is always in my Zune line up, so this will make a great addition. :)

I’m excited to check it out. I like Zooey too and I like acoustic so I’m guessing it’s a win win:)
Miss you!

I’m so happy to know this! Also, the fruit cake line cracked me up. My first thought was, How did she do frui- oh, she didn’t do fruit cake :)

Merry Christmas early.

I’ve been listening to this album on Spotify, and I love it! Too bad I missed the $5 day. Oh well. Think I’ll have to get it anyways… and thanks for the last post, too. Mirah was one of my favorites back in the day. Looking forward to listening to this collaboration. As for other bands with an Asian girl in the line-up… did anyone mention Lullatone? And Ikumi’s new music project Kit Uber Kit? Not to mention Drawing Number One & My Friend Fox… :)
