What’s that? It’s not even Thanksgiving, you say? Too bad, so sad. I love Christmas music.
I am a singer in the shower and rock star in my car. I recently loaded my iPod for the nearing Holiday season and got downright giddy as I listened for the first time of 2011.
Last year I did a {very expansive} post on my fave Holiday flicks. This year, I’m sharing my fave tunes, in hopes that you’ll share back… I’m looking for some new festive faves.
Here are my top ten fave Christmas Albums {in no particular order}:
1. Mariah Carey – The original. None of that #2 business. Because really, all I want for Christmas is you. That’s right. I’m talking to you.
2. James Taylor Christmas Album – Okay. This has the very best version of Auld Lang Syne. Ever. And, it’s James Taylor. Enough said.
3. Sarah McLachlan Wintersong – Another voice that I just adore. Best tunes…Wintersong and River.
4. Amy Grant A Christmas Album – Introduced by my SIL Laura and complete with a Phi M song, Heirlooms.
5. Amy Grant Home For Christmas – Also introduced to me by my SIL Laura. Love. Love. Love.
6. Christmas With the Chipmunks – I can’t help myself. Love it.
7. Bing Crosby White Christmas – I know I said this was in no particular order but let’s be real, Bing takes the cake. This CD reminds me of my childhood. Of my grandpa Nelson and of my dad.
8. Mannheim Steamroller A Fresh Aire – Traditions of Christmas is just perfection. Reminds me of High School Jazz band. Makes me wanna dust off my trombone.
9. Clint Black Looking for Christmas – Adam introduced this while we were dating. The Finest Gift may be one of the finest Christmas songs around. And he would sing it to me. Sweet.
10. Josh Groban Noel – B.E.A.utiful.
What songs get you in the Holiday spirit?
