Christmas Music Favorites

[Minnie]

Do you have a favorite CD or song, that you play every year?

I have a very extensive collection but love to add new selections, so was interested in what others like and listen to during the holidays.

I changed my mind, Lynnie. ;-) I figure does it really matter, I will just let it go.

PS: Lynnie has not been in the egg nog, I posted a thread about relatives who ask for recipes and then pass them off as their own, but decided I would rather dwell on something positive, like Christmas music.

So I pulled an AggieB and deleted it. Problem is you can delete comments but not a thread, so it changed from stolen recipes to music. I think I am the one that has been hitting the egg nog.

What are your faves Minnie? It isn't Christmas without The Nutcracker and my other favorite is Walking In The Air which I have on a Celtic CD and Mandolin Christmas.

YouTube- The Snowman / Walking in the Air

I love the Nutcracker Suite, too.

Another fav. is Brian Setzer Orchestra "Boogie Woogie Christmas"

Also, "A Cello Christmas" performed by a cello choir. Words can't describe it.

What are your faves Minnie?

Any Christmas song by Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole or Johnny Mathis.

Then the childhood ones of Charlie Brown Christmas, Hippo song, Chipmunks, Rudolph, Holly Jolly Christmas.

But possibly my favorite of all is this song. It sings to my soul.

James Taylor: In the Bleak Midwinter

YouTube- James Taylor - In The Bleak Midwinter


And this one: Josh Grobin: Believe

A beautiful song from one of my favorite books and now movies.

YouTube- Josh Groban-Beleive

Gidget: I have never heard Walking in Air, it was beautiful, such a voice.

Johnrudy, do you have a link to the Cello Christmas?

AggieB, so ironic you listed "River", I was not really familar with this song, until it was mentioned in "You Got Mail" which I watched the other night and tonight I heard it on the radio and you listed it too. Strange how things happen like that.

I really like Celine Dion too. She is performing on the Disney World Christmas Day Parade presentation which was filmed while Kat and I were at Disney, she did her part at the Grand Floridian.

And possibly one of the most beautiful Christmas songs of all time: Let There Be Peace on Earth


YouTube- American Soldier Christmas - Let There Be Peace on Earth
