So, I said I'd post my top ten Christmas CD's. Turns out, it was hard to pick. I have 10 that I've picked, but I'm certain the list will change as I come across other Christmas CD's hidden amongst the hundreds on the shelves.
1. Sandi Patty--O Holy Night: This one I didn't have any problems picking. Sandi has put out three Christmas CD's and has recorded two special ones for Hallmark, but this is the best. "Carol of the Bells" and "O Holy Night" give me goosebumps, so you know those are some great arrangements.
2. Ella Fitzgerald--Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas: This one is fun. She put out a second Christmas CD, but it doesn't even come close to this.
3. The Manhattan Transfer--The Christmas Album
4. Mariah Carey--Merry Christmas: You knew this would show up somewhere, right?
5. Linda Eder--Christmas Stays the Same: Thanks to Cally for introducing me to this one.
6. Tony Bennett--Snowfall: The Christmas Album
7. Michael W. Smith--Christmastime: The coolest version of The Christmas Waltz that I've ever heard.
8. Diana Krall--Christmas Songs: I tend to like a light jazz sound to my Christmas music.
9. Various Artists--The New Young Messiah: An updated Handel's Messiah
10. Relient K--Let It Snow Baby...Let It Reindeer: Pop-punk Christmas, with a nice depressing song called "I Hate Christmas Parties" (because I also like depressing music--it makes me happy).
Anyone have any thoughts?
I've been feeling crappy lately, but today was better. I'm off to bed now, but before I go...
Happy Birthday to all my friends with October birthdays. My apologies if you didn't/don't get a personal greeting on your actual birthday, but I usually don't have any idea what day it is.
Contest! :)
