Holiday Music - love, hate, recommendations?

Ok, here's a question for everyone -- do you love or hate christmas music? What's your favorite song/album/christmas performance?

I love Christmas music -- from December 1st until Christmas day. I can tolerate it from day after Thanksgiving to December 1 but I think 25 days of it are enough, lol.

I usually download one new christmas album each year; this year I think I am going with Lindsey Sterling's album. Last year's was Seth McFarlane's Holiday for Swing and I loved it so much!

I generally do not listen to music unless I'm exercising. But Christmas Music sucks me in every single year. I swear I know every Christmas song/carol, even non-English ones. I'm fine with a Christmas station on the radio-- but I do have Mary J.Blige's chrsitams CD in my car. (It's been in there since last year lol).

Oh, I will have to check hers out!

ETA - I had to download her Do you hear what I hear -- it's amazing!

I love anything by Pentatonix, but I especially love their Christmas version of 'Hallelujah '. You can check them out on Youtube.

I enjoy that one as well!

I love the original, or old fashioned carols. I HATE modern covers of carols where they try to jazz it up. Just can't stand them one bit. Can listen to the original carols all day every day.

This is my favorite

That is beautiful!!

Me too - nice choice!

I have a few albums that I listen to every year because it's TRADITION.

John Denver and the Muppets

Sunshine and Snowflakes (oh, it's so painfully 80s)

Scala's Winter album

And A Very Special Christmas (the first volume)

I was just listening to John Denver and the muppets!! That are the Chipmunks Christmas are must listen at least once. I'll date myself a bit but I still remember being so excited my step dad ar the time got me The Chipmunks Christmas on 8track and I could listen to it in his car!! It was a Christmas miracle, lol
