and Amy Grant's Home for Christmas
) on the list, but there is an album that made my inner giddy teenager come out, and I bought it as soon as I got home from work. Which album, you ask? *N Sync's Home for Christmas
! I have wanted this album since I was 17. It has always hovered around $10, and I have a hard time justifying spending that much on music I only listen to 30 days out of the year. But $5? Totally worth it!Check out the whole list
of $5 Christmas albums. There's so much Christmas goodness here I hardly know where to begin! I recommend the following albums because I have (and love) them: A Charlie Brown Christmas
(Vince Guaraldi Trio), Peace on Earth
(Casting Crowns), What a Night!
(Harry Connick, Jr.), Let It Snow Baby ... Let It Reindeer
(Relient K), and Christmas Cheers
(Straight No Chaser). But there's a ton of other good music out there, too—albums by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Avalon, Mandisa, and many more.Mariah Carey's two Christmas albums, Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas II You
, are some of my new favorites, and Merry Christmas
is actually Amazon's mp3 Deal of the Day today. I know by the time most of you read this, it'll be tomorrow (or later), but sometimes Amazon's mp3 daily deals last a bit longer than a day. Merry Christmas is definitely worth your $3.99! (And yes, I know that Merry Christmas came out in 1994, so it's not exactly "new." I'd never listened to the whole thing until last year, so it's new to me!)Also, be sure to check out Amazon's 25 Days of Free
. Each day, a new free Christmas song is added to the list. Today's song is by Celtic Woman.And just so you know, the Christmas album I'm dying to get this year is Michael Bublé's Christmas
. But at $11.99, I'll just content myself with streaming it through Spotify for now!What's your favorite Christmas album? Which one are you trying to rationalize buying this year ... or which one did you already buy?

Since Thanksgiving, it has been "All Christmas All the Time" music here in the office...with many contributions from Daurice and you. LOVE IT! (Michael Boultin's Christmas album, not so much.)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Avalon's Christmas album. I'm not sure if they have more than one...but the one I love is from around 2000, I believe.
ReplyDeleteCan I please just say, in complete and total seriousness, that Justin Bieber's Christmas album IS, in fact, worth a listen. Or so I've heard. Or several listens, so I'm told. SOME PEOPLE even play it repeatedly...or so they tell me. JK. I have the Fiever, and I'm not ashamed. :) But seriously, folks. Listen to the album. It's good.
ReplyDelete@Val—SOME PEOPLE should be sure to take it home with them for Christmas. I quite enjoy "All I Want for Christmas Is You," though I hear the video is kinda creepy. Blendy and I think he sounds exactly like Jesse McCartney now.
