Okay…I really should be working on my sermon, but I figured I’d list my “must have” Christmas albums and songs (almost all available on Amazon Music)…in no specific order:
- “Christmastime” by Michael W. Smith
- “Christmas Portrait” by The Carpenters
- “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole
- “Christmas Classics” by Bing Crosby (includes “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy” with David Bowie)
- “A Winter Romance” by Dean Martin
- “Elvis Christmas” By Elvis Presley
- “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi Trio
- “Christmas With the Chipmunks” by The Chipmunks
- “Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails” Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 by various
- “A Jolly Christmas” by Frank Sinatra
- “When My Heart Finds Christmas” by Harry Connick, Jr.
- “100 Classic Christmas Songs” by various (only $5 on Amazon MP3)
And a few singles:
- “The Christmas Shoes” by Eric Dodge
- “Mary Did You Know?” by The Gaither Vocal Band (basically, Mark Lowry…this is the original and best version of this song)
- “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth” by Spike Jones & His City Slickers
- “Christmas at Ground Zero” by “Weird Al” Yankovic
- “Yellow Snow” by Bob Rivers (not available on Amazon MP3)
- “Christmas With a Capital C” by Go Fish
Well, there you go…what’s your list?
P.S. With Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis…you just need to find a good collection for the money. With some of the other ones you’ll want to make sure you get the album I specifically listed…with a couple of them, not all their Christmas albums are as good…
To quote Nat King Cole from the song that just finished playing on iTunes, Merry Christmas…to…you…
