This song is one of our favorite ways to ring in the holidays. It's steeped in the holiday spirits, a healthy love of the game, and solid amounts of talent. It remains one of our most requested Christmas videos.

It's kind of a shame that All I Want for Christmas is a Blue is starting to show its age. Does anyone really get excited about blue gear at this point? Still, aside from that anachronism, the video shows off the same nostalgic longing for a happy WoW holiday.

Happy holidays, y'all!

This is the third year we've featured All I Want for Christmas is a Blue during the holidays. I'll admit that last year's use of the song felt a little hollow; we were all in the middle of the purple-fest known as Wrath of the Lich King. But now we're firmly in the middle of Cataclysm and working to get new gear again. It's a great time to remember that All I Want for Christmas is a Blue.

I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again. I have a soft spot for good WoW music, and really enjoy the idea that I can put together a great holiday album of WoW themed Christmas music. theavatards have posted a great submission to that album on YouTube with All I Want for Christmas is a Blue. It is a simple story of a woman who always gets greens, and never gets a blue.

The video itself is fairly easy on the eyes. It's got the singer, of course, and some nice use of surreality when she inspects real-life items for WoW-like quality. There's a little bit of in-game animation to make sure we know what game we're talking about here. The music is really where the piece shines, however. The music is simple and uncomplex, lending all of the song's focus on the singer. The singer does a great job of vocals, performing in a traditional holiday tone and method. This is totally worth checking out, and is already now living on my iPod.
