Christmas Music

I love Christmas music! It is like a lullaby to my soul. I never believed one month was long enough to enjoy the music of the season, so I'm grateful that some of the radio stations around here start playing it the day after HALLOWEEN! Yippee! One of my friends made a post about her favorite Christmas music, and as I read it I kept nodding my head: "Yep, like that one; oooh, love that one; oh yeah, that's one of my faves, too!" So, here's my own (incomplete) list of just SOME of my favorites...there are really too many to mention:

Breath of Heaven--Amy Grant
The First Noel--Mormon Tabernacle Choir
The Messiah--sung by the Utah Symphony Chorus, of course!
Mary, Did You Know--Donny Osmond
Grown-Up Christmas List--Amy Grant
Let Him In from "The Forgotten Christmas Carols"
Merry Christmas, Darling--The Carpenters
White Christmas--Bing Crosby
The Christmas Song ("Chestnuts...")--Nat King Cole
Jingle Bells--Barbra Streisand
The Best Gift--Barbra Streisand
The Grinch--Boris Karloff
Twelve Days of Christmas--John Denver & The Muppets
When Joseph Went to Bethlehem--Primary Kids
He Wasn't His Child--Sawyer Brown
Where Are You Christmas--Faith Hill
Believe--Josh Groban
Away in a Manger--Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Still, Still, Still
The Carol of the Bells
The Prayer of the Children--Kurt Bestor
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year--Andy Williams
The Gift--Jim Brickman
One Small Child
Welcome to Our World--Amy Grant

Okay, I could go on and on. Do you have a favorite?
(Special thanks to my sweet C for adding some of these favorites to my music playlist...you're the best, honey!)

Most of those are great, except maybe John Denver and the Muppets. I did complain this year when they started the day after Halloween. I think I would prefer that they easy into it gradually, but I am fully immersed now. I even went to choir practice last Sunday, as they advertised that they are practicing for Christmas. (The building didn't even fall in.)
