To start off the 25 Days of Christmas, what better way to get in the Christmas spirit than listening to Christmas music?! These are my top five favorite Christmas CDs. I highly recommend all of them! (Each one has a link directly to Amazon or iTunes, so you can listen and download one or two songs if you like them, or of course, the whole album.)
1. All Time Favorite
A Charlie Brown Christmas, Vince Guaraldi Trio
Vince Guaraldi is one of the best jazz pianists ever (in my opinion)! If you love this CD, do yourself a huge favor and check out his other stuff, like Alma Ville.
2. Instrumental
Christmas Songs, Eddie Higgins
This is a new favorite, that I discovered last year. Reminiscent of Vince Guaraldi's Christmas music.
3. Traditional
Christmas, Michael Buble
Brand new this year!! Michael's voice is Christmas perfection. He's young but has a deep voice that brings Bing Crosby back, only this time with a Norah Jones feel, and you can actually sing along.
4. Classic
Home Alone, Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Somehow this movie produced an assortment of songs that without them, Christmas just doesn't feel the same.
5. Non-Traditional
Jingle All the Way, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones
This bluegrass jam band is one of Whit's favorites, but I actually heard it for the first time at my cousin's house. They take a really different spin on the classic Christmas tunes, but in a way that makes it really fun and enjoyable. If you're curious, let me say one more thing: Tibetan Throat Singing.
