So I woke up this morning not at all bothered by the snow. I’ve even been humming “Let it snow” to myself since I got to work. Go figure. Ask me how I feel about snow in March… 😉

I’ve been getting in the Christmas spirit by listening to holiday music. Last weekend, on my drive back to Buffalo, I called Jen from the road to tell her the Christmas music was making me weepy. That cheesy Bryan Adams song. Dan Fogelberg. And, of course, Band Aid. I commented to R that I like happy Christmas music, which of course, started me making lists in my head.

My top 5 Christmas hymns;

1. O Holy Night
2. Angels We Have Heard on High
3. The King of Glory (frequently heard during Advent)
4. I Saw Three Ships
5. What Child is This?

My (current) top 5 non-traditional-type Christmas songs:

1. Love on Layaway (I am fully aware of the cheese factor, but I can’t help it…makes me want to sing and dance)
2. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings (Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan)
3. Happy Xmas (War is Over)
4. Sleigh Ride
5. Wonderful Christmastime

A couple of my favorite Christmas CDs

1. Collin Raye, the Gift

A very traditional offering…I absolutely adore this man’s voice, and in my opinion, his rendition of ‘O Holy Night’ cannot be beat. I get chills every time I hear it. I’m still bitter that the Christmas concert I had tickets to several years ago was cancelled. The show was rescheduled, but it wasn’t a *Christmas* concert. Grrr…

2. Martina McBride, White Christmas

Again, very traditional. Her voice is amazing.

Speaking of Christmas, I need to get shopping. Ack!

So, what kind of Christmas songs do you like? Favorite songs or CDs? Share with me… 🙂
