O Come, Little Children

 O Come, Little Children is not a carol that one hears very often.  It's almost never played on the radio, especially commercial radio.  And, honestly, I can't recall ever singing it at church when I was growing up.  I'm sure we did, but it did not make an impact on me.  I was, ironically, listening to my favorite radio station this morning (101.7 WDFC) and they played this version.  It's beautifully sung.  A quiet, peaceful version of this carol.  Enjoy!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 I do enjoy a good Andy Williams song and he does the holidays very well!  This is a classic and a must listen to during the season.  Enjoy!

Candlelight Carol

 Today, I'm returning to John Rutter with one of my favorite carols he has written.  I first heard this in 1993 on a Christmas at St. Olaf special on PBS.  I just loved this carol and it's something I make sure I listen to every year.  I hope you enjoy it!

That Holiday Feeling

 The Steve & Eydie Christmas album is honestly one of my favorites.  It's just fun.  And, honestly, they both have pretty amazing voices.  I like this song because it's simple and fun and bouncy and light.  A very nice holiday song!

Angels' Carol

 I have heard this carol many times on various Christmas programs and cds that I have.  And I never paid attention to the fact that it was written by John Rutter.  That explains why I enjoy it so much LOL  He's one of my favorite choral composers.  It is another beautiful piece written by him and I hope that you enjoy it.

I'll Be Home For Christmas

 Anne Murray was a huge part of my music listening when I was a kid.  And she still is today.  I have such great memories of listening to her cassette tapes with Mom in the car and singing along.  Her Christmas album that we had played a lot during the holidays.  This is one of my favorite tracks from that album.

Lo, How a Rose

 I do love the Robert Shaw Chorale and have several of their albums, both holiday and non.  Lo, How a Rose is such a beautiful song that their rendition is equally beautiful.  I find it to be a haunting melody.  Hope you enjoy!
