Thirteen favorite Christmas CDs.

3. Amy Grant: A Christmas Album and Home For Christmas
4. Sissel: God Jul (A present from my Norwegian host family the December after I spent a summer with them; One of my all-time favorites, and in dire need of a CD replacement as the cassette is wearing out.)
5. Aaron Neville: Soulful Christmas
6. Mannheim Steamroller: A Fresh Aire Christmas
7. Harry Simeone Chorale: Little Drummer Boy (Favorite track: "Simple Gifts")

I can't remember the name of the CD, but Michael Buble has a fabulous one out. Great list!
Happy Holidays!
We don't own any Christmas CDs but my son has been singing carols. Happy TT.
Adelle~ Yeah, I've seen Buble's new one advertised. I have the new ones by Josh Groben (Noel) and Mannheim Steamroller (Christmas Song), but have yet to see Buble's anywhere.
Puss~ I admit to owning a lot of Christmas CDs, but am often singing whether one is playing or not. Thanks for visiting!
I love Diana Krall and Nat King Cole's "Christmas Is For Kids". Amy Grant and Harry Connick Jr. are also on my playlist. Love this.
Oh, and I love Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony Of Carols". You might like it Heather.
Amy Grant, check. Mariah Carey, check. Vince Gill, check. Martina McBride, check.
Add SheDaisy's Brand New Year, Elvis's White Christmas and Clint Black's Looking For Christmas and you pretty much have my list. Oh, and LeAnne Womack. She has a duet with Harry Connick Jr--Baby It's Cold Outside--that I just LURV.
BTW, don't link to me. I suck and don't have a TT. LOL
And here I'm limping along with one of those compilation Christmas CD's. I couldn't begin to tell you who all is on it. We only listen once a year - while trimming the tree.
Oh, I LOVE #12. We went to their concert the two years before we moved here--it was wonderful. Enjoy!
Gosh, I have a ton of Christmas CDs I listen to. (So I might steal your TT idea) :)
I would love to get Martina McBride's CD, though.
Jennifer M~ Benjamin Britten, huh? Can't say I've hear of him, but will check it out!
Thanks Darla! I've heard their concerts are spectacular. My sister has been before, and a friend and her DH have been at least twice.
Jennifer S~ Steal away! I imagine there's a lot of overlap on TT themes this month, and would love to see what others have in their collection.
I must get the Harry Connick Jr one. I've heard a few people recommend it.
I so love Christmas music!
*hugs*

Hot cocoa and margaritas - makes me laugh! Love it. Great list, so many of these are in my cd player right now.
What? No Tony Bennett or Barbra Streisand? JK. Excellent list, Heather! Now I'll be pulling my collection out while I bake tonight.
Gina~ LOL...actually, I do have a CD that Bennett did with Charlotte Church, Placido Domingo and Vanessa Williams - forgot I had that one!
Shelley~ Yes, you must get that Harry Connick Jr CD! His second one is okay, too, but the first is the best!
Deborah~ Hehe...I'm surprised you're the only one to comment on the cocoa and margarita line. *G*
Paige~ Me too! When I'm not listening to a CD I have the radio tuned to the all-Christmas station. Hehe...
