    For any newbies, this is a must see. Sadly, it can not be purchased that I am aware of.



    I do have her recorded version and it is amazing as well.

    My heart is broken that former child prodigy, Charlotte Church is doing the most revolting pop music in recent years.

    My favorite version of Ava Maria, whoa...major goosebumps. I love this song, the beauty in it has nothing to do with being Catholic to me. I hope that all can appreciate this.

    There are certain songs that in my opinion are best left to artists like this.

    I have two albums that I play over and over. The original White Christmas (I don't like the 2006 redo). And a one of a kind Target collection called A Country Christmas 1999 that I bought for $5.99. It starts off with Martina singing I'll Be Home, then proceeds to George Strait, Mark Wills, Chely Wright, Kenny Chesney, Mindy McCready, Sara Evans, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Alabama, and Reba.
    I think it's still available used. Pick it up if you see one. Outstanding all around.

    Wow, how much space do I have to answer this one? LOL!

    I own Christmas music by:
    Liz Anderson
    Lynn Anderson
    Mandy Barnett
    Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius
    Charlie Daniels
    Barbara Fairchild
    Jimmy Fortune
    Larry Gatlin
    Julianne Hough
    Chris Isaak
    Barbara Mandrell
    Louise Mandrell
    Kathy Mattea

    One of my absolute FAVORITES is this duet Lynn Anderson did with Butch Baker on the Christmas on the General Jackson special on TNN a long time ago. On her 2002 Christmas CD, Lynn sings this same duet with Michael Clark. Both versions are beautiful!

    Here's The Angels Song - Lynn Anderson & Butch Baker, about 1989-90, more or less:

    There is alot of Christmas music I play. Growing up it was not Christmas till after helping Grandma put up all the decorations and that means the matching figurines on all the tables and than listening to Johnny Mathis sing Silver Bells. Till this very day I still play that album and on my Grandma's phonograph at Christmas Time.

    Christmas season now started for me in Germany - traditionally we don't start the season before our Memorial day in November but then we open the Christmas markets and all the traditions come to live - I love it. As to music it is both German and American traditional and modern. I love all Christmas music.
    here is one that I have heard this morning - sad but absolutely beautiful at the same time
    Where are you Christmas? Faith Hill
    I am sure that I will be posting more ...

    Sabine, Nat King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song" is my fave. I really like this one from Josh Groban too.
