~*Day One*~


For today's subject I will write about one of the few things that can completely define Christmas in of itself.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but...

Even if the house isn't decorated and no one puts Christmas lights on their houses in your neighborhood, and even if you don't like Christmas.

...it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride with you...

it is a sure fire thing to get you in the holiday mood.

...where in meadow we can build a snow man...

I think you have guessed it. That's right! It's...

...and go home for Christmas to rock around the Christmas tree.

 CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!!! Today I will post about four of my favorite Christmas albums. Despite the fact that there are over twenty albums on my MP3 player and several random solo flying Christmas songs, there are very easily four albums I could listen to every Christmas and never get tired of them

The first album is "Garth Books and the magic of Christmas."
Despite the fact that Garth looks like he's trying to mimic a sexy fish while awkwardly holding a big glass ball, this is easily my favorite, (and easily one of the best) country Christmas albums. Garth's smooth, sometimes gritty voice offers itself to several classic Christmas songs. 

The next album is a little less traditional. It's Rockapella's "Comfort and Joy"
With the guy's amazing harmonizing and impressive beat boxing, it's a delight when you're looking for an upbeat and different thing to listen to during the holidays. If features a couple of older songs, but mostly modern ones, which quite frankly go better with the style Rockapella sings in. 

The third album is one that was released only this year, but I have already fallen in love. Yes, it truly is, Michael Bublé "Michael Bublé Christmas." Very original title too.
It features near the perfect amount traditional and modern songs for me. I would have preferred maybe one to two more traditional songs, replacing Santa Baby, which should never, under any circumstances, but sung by a guy. And possible Feliz Navidad, which is an okay song...but kind of annoying after the first minutes. Other than those two songs this my very well be the best album of them all! And not only because of the good song selection, but also because of Michael's voice.

The last but certainly not least is perfect for playing while reading or writing, or as simple background music, as it is all instrumental. It's "The Christmas Box." 

A beautiful album of songs composed by Paul Cardall. Once again there is a mixture of songs you will recognize, and songs that are completely original. Every piece is beautifully played and wonderful to listen to.
