It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I'm trying so hard to get into Christmas...but this year, I feel like a late bloomer

 

Have you heard the version of Silent Night on Susan Boyle's new album? It's amazingly beautiful!

 

my faves:
So this Christmas - John Lennon
Father Christmas - Emerson Lake and Palmer (oldie)
O Holy Night - Josh Grobin (brings me to tears)
Gloria (Angels We have Heard on High) Michael W. Smith

 

you've now gotten me going through Christmas songs! lol

Mary Did You Know - Donny Osmond (yes, Donny - gorgeous song!)

 

gonna have to check those out Andrea!!

I love sarah mclachlan's wintersong album, and Martina McBride's White Christmas album, particulary O Holy Night. I tend to collect every version of O Holy Night and Silent Night that I come across.

 

Have you guys seen the free music Amazon is giving away everyday. It's just one single a day, but it's fun!

te pogues does it for me at christmas,and having a husband who loves christmas we have to listen to him singing them to us lol

 

DH gifted me the new Andrea Bocelli My Christmas album early - and i love it.
Kinda threw me to hear the duet with Mary J. Blige, but it works.

My playlist tends to the standards - O Holy Night, Adeste Fideles, Ave Maria - by many different artists....definitely going to have to hunt up the McLachlan album, now... thanks!

 

I've said most of these a couple other places, but here are my picks:

December (album) - George Winston
I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney
Opera of the Bells - Destiny's Child
My Grown-Up Christmas List - Kelly Clarkson
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm - Kay Starr (an oldie but goodie, especially when re-mixed as they do in A Six Degrees Collection album)

 

and I also have to have Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Christmas Eve and other Stories

 

I have the classics. Here's some of mine:

White Christmas by Bing Crosby
The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by The Carpenters
I'll Be Home for Christmas by The Carpenters
Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley

I have a lot of others, but those are some of my favorites.

 

I´m totally agree !!

 

Tran Siberian Orchestra! LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas Cannon!

also love Carol of the Bells ( just about any version)

and I want a hippapotamus for Christmas

 

So guess what? On the way to work this morning, I heard a new Trans-Siberian Orchestra track - Nutrocker. I LOVE IT
this is the itunes link , track #24: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/night-castle/id336270195
It is making me very happy to listen while I slog through this work stuff. which is yuck - Office 2007 and Office 2003 are duking it out on my system , and I am losing my mind.
but anyway, you all gotta listen to that song. and think high energy, not meaningful emotion kinda christmas song
