That Charlie Brown Christmas is right at the top of my list along with Sarah McLachlan's Wintersong. Love Christmas music!
Denise,
My favorite for the last couple years is BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE! which to be honest, I can hear the ice/snow/rain hitting my window right now as we are under a big winter storm warning until 4:00 a.m. here in Illinois. WHOOOPPEEEE!
Peace to you girlie.
Love,
Angelica
i just downloaded one of alligator records christmas albums at amazon. it is blues and it is great. it certainly doesn't contain ANY of the standard classics but i was looking for something a little more upbeat and fun for a party and it was perfect. happy christmas!
ok, so most of those are already in my collection however, knowing that you are a Hem fan, surprised to see you don't have one of their songs on your list - or did I miss it? they are wonderful! There are a few I don't have so will use some spare time to check those out today! thanks!
my very favorite is MERRY CHRISTMAS by Johnny Mathis, and I absolutely love all the WINTER'S SOLTICE compilations put out by Windham Hill - the most special of songs to me on IV, DONA NOBIS PACEM by Michael Manring.
Peace & Love, Denise!!!
