I just love Christmas and especially Christmas music.
One year I started listening to Christmas music right after Halloween. I must admit that by the time Christmas Day rolled around, I was quite tired of the same old songs. So now, I don't let myself start listening to music until December 1 (well, maybe a little earlier...).
Here are some of my favourite Christmas CDs and songs. What do you like to listen to around the holidays?
I do prefer the classics, they remind me of sitting with my father in front of a cozy fire on a Sunday evening. The twinkly lights (as we called them) glowed and twinkled on the mantel, the tree sparkled in the corner, and the Firestone Christmas albums were played softly on the record player. Think back people, I know some of you recall these albums; purchased from a tire store of all things! There was a new one out every Christmas and we eagerly anticipated it's arrival. This was bliss! And for me, one of my "snap-shot" moments in time....
Songs:
- Let it be Christmas by Alan Jackson
- Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen (a classic!)
- Little Drummer Boy
- Do You Hear What I Hear?
- Mary's Boy Child
- I Saw Three Ships A'Sailing
- Go Tell it on the Mountain
- Hark the Herald Angels Sing
CDs:
- Jewel - some classics mixed with original songs. Jewel has a sweet voice, without being over the top
- Josh Groban Noel - Josh Groban at his best with his rich baritone voice, perfect for the holidays
- Boney M Christmas - a true classic CD that you never tire of hearing
- Sarah Mclachlan - a quieter CD that conjures up images of sitting by a fire on a cold, blustery night. Sarah Mclachlan has the most beautiful voice
