Hallelujah, it's Christmas!

We have a lot of Christmas CDs at our house. But it seems that just a handful of them get played over and over each year. Our family's top 5 favorite Christmas albums:

1. The Roger Whitaker Christmas Album (the one with songs you've never heard before, such as "Hallelujah, it's Christmas, Momma Mary and Darcy the Dragon)

2. John Denver and the Muppets- A Christmas Together (Merry Christmas, little Zachary)

3. Carpenters Christmas Portrait

4. Dan Fogelberg (Yes, he had a Christmas album, and it is fantastic)

5. Neil Diamond, vol 2 (I understand the irony, but Candlelight Carol is my all-time favorite)

Lots of other good ones, such as The Osmonds, John Denver Rocky Mountain Christmas, Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, etc. But the 5 above get the most play. Our kids can rock the house to Hallelujah, it's Christmas, too.

I suppose I should list our 5 favorite instrumental Christmas CDs also. The above five are for singing along to. These are just for listening.

1. David Lanz-Christmas Eve

2. Liz Story-The Gift

3. Jenny Oaks Baker-O Holy Night

4. Vince Guaraldi-Charlie Brown Christmas

5. George Winston-December
