Hey Guys

With Christmas coming in a few short months, I thought I would share my list of favourite Top Ten Christmas Songs of all time [*IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER*} - some are magnificent originals and some are timeless classics made new and exciting by fantastic performances by awesome performers:

1) O Come, O Come Emmanuel

*I love three different versions - by Bette Midler, Amy Grant, and the original Latin version by Beth Nielsen Chapman...


2) Through Your Eyes - Suzy Bogguss


3) Silver Bells - Martina McBride's version...


4) Christmas Is Calling - Val Kilmer


5) Breath Of Heaven

* I love both Amy Grant's (original) and Melanie Taylor's (cover) versions...


6) Christmas Lullaby - Belinda Carlisle & Charlotte Caffey


7) It's Christmas & California Christmas - Jon Peter Lewis


8) A Christmas Son - Debbi Peterson & Siobhan Maher-Kennedy


9) Merry Christmas Darling - both Amy Grant's and Melanie Taylor's versions...


10) Mele Kalikimaka - Bette Midler's version...


Also, I just wanted everyone to know that Martina McBride has re-released her Christmas album with four bonus songs, including:

Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Winter Wonderland
Jingle Bells
*Baby It's Cold Outside (*a duet with Dean Martin)

So, what are everyone else's favourite Christmas songs and does anyone else have any Christmas music news to report?

I like all kinds of Christmas music. One of my favorite CDs to play at Christmas is the Elvis Christmas CD. Also, I think Oh Holy Night is a very beautiful song.

"Dont Save it All For Christmas Day" --- Clay's version is good. So is Ruben/FAntasia's duet. :P

That Stevie Wonder song... its on the album Jon's first one was on... cant think of it.

And Mikey... what do you think your doin postn about Christmas?! LoL TOO soon.

I think Clay's Mary Did You Know is haunting...I like that one

It's never too early to post about Christmas music, Sheep! I listen to it all the time!

Which reminds me, it's almost time to watch He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special on DVD (which incidentally you can watch in English and Spanish) - so I should invite Jon over to watch it with me. He loves She-Ra and speaks Spanish!
