Christmas Music

I have long been a fan of Christmas music; I wait patiently from Halloween on for the day at which it is acceptable to blare Christmas music 24-7. In some years I can make it until the Friday after Thanksgiving but there are some years that it just doesn’t work. Last year I was so frustrated by graduate school that I think I started listening to Christmas music in the early parts of November. This year I started listening to Christmas music in the car a week before thanksgiving.

I love the hopeful sound of the music and I love that for one month of the year so much of what we do revolves around the birth of Jesus Christ. For many, this may just be a month to get presents and be with family. In my family, our Christmas begins with a celebration of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, that he came to die among us and for us. I love that for a few weeks it is acceptable for us as a nation to love the Lord.

In addition to the music I love the lights on the tree, the sound of fires roaring in the fireplace, and watching cheesy Christmas movies. I am so ready for the few days at home where I can hang out with the family and bake cookies. There is so much that I love about the Holiday season, I am sure that I will have many more posts about the music and the wonder of the holiday season.

I found this gem at Kirkland's a few days ago, I could I pass up a holiday letter?!?!

Now that thanksgiving is over and I am able to listen to Christmas music all of the time it is wonderful, I am enjoying the decking of the halls, the jingling bells, and silent nights. I admit that I love the pop artist holiday mixes they are just fabulous. Christina Aguilera has a christmas album that I really really love, it just pumps me up for the holidays. I am always looking to add music to my holiday collection, what is your favorite album?
