Christmas Gems

Ok, I admit it. So far, my Christmas posts have been pretty negative. I've complained about bad Christmas music here and here.

This morning I'm thinking that I need to stop the negativity and keep it positive. So here are a few Christmas tunes that make my holiday holly and jolly.

-Let It Be Christmas by Alan Jackson (He is the true country poet. I love his songwriting ability.)

-Christmas to Remember by Amy Grant (I wonder if someone is going to want to revoke my man card because I admitted that I like an Amy Grant song??? Trust me. This is the only one. Ok, I may have jammed to Baby, Baby once or twice back in the day.)

-The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole (a classic in every way)

-The Little Drummer Boy by Bob Seger

-Anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

-The entire soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi (not just great Christmas music; possibly the best jazz album ever!)

-And as for the traditional hymns of Christmas…O Come, O Come Emmanuel might just be my fav. I love the lyrics and the haunting melody.

Did I miss any?
