fun list! mariah carey has surely had an interesting time of the last few years, but that album is definitely a christmas classic.

my favorite christmas album of all time is “a christmas together” with john denver & the muppets. the muppets sing christmas. just great.

equally as great that i recently found out about: matt surowiec and the tricentennial band sing “emmet otter’s jug-band christmas.” this is my favorite christmas movie, and this newer release includes all the greatest original songs from the movie. it’s really great.

It sounds like a good variety of choices you’ve offered. I hadn’t checked out Mercy Me’s Christmas cd yet, but I have seen him live and he has an amazing voice.

I’ve heard one of Mariah Carey’s Christmas songs, and it was good. I should check out the rest.

Andy Williams, huh? I’m not sure why, but I could never get into Andy (and I’m quite a bit past 30.) :) But I will check out his Christmas offerings.

And, Relient K is my favorite band, so I’ve been listening to their Christmas music for a while. The arrangements are very different from most other Christmas music out there, and you can find the humorous and more serious tunes.

Mercy Me is Solid and Mariah has a powerful tool! I would love to hear her throw down on some Gospel Classics and New Praise Music..

I love Love LOVE the Sufjan Christmas CD. Actually I like a lot of his CDs (which he has quite a few considering his lack of mainstream exposure).

And even though Mariah is on the teeter totter between becoming a crazy, every girl will always swoon slightly when they hear her rendition of “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.

Strangely, a Christmas album that is surprisingly great is the SheDaisy Christmas album. Their harmonies are way intricate and the actual music is something I listen to year round.

Great suggestions (especially Mariah Carey – I miss her…).

I would also suggest Christmastime is Here by Erin O’Donnell (all jazzy and piano-y…). And the soundtrack to Home Alone (classic…)

Interesting selection – what a variety swing. How in the world do you know or would even listen to Andy Williams? He is good. I like Vince Gill from a few years ago “Breath of Heaven” I think. I play that one over and over.

If I could be so bold as to plug our new Christmas album consisting of 17 original songs from lots of new indie bands from all over the world including the Cloud Room, Idaho, Jape and the Very Most. http://www.indiecater.com is where you can listen to it all. We think it’s great but then we are biased and obsessed with Christmas.
