Which Christmas CD Can You Not Stop Playing ...

Do you have ONE .... of your Christmas CD's that you can't stop playing, even though you have a ZILLION other great ones??? For me, it's Celine Dion's "Celine: These Are Special Times." Love it as I TRAVEL around shopping (and love it in the house...)

It's James Taylor's Christmas album.
His duet with Natalie Cole is priceless!!!

While dining at the Sardine Factory in Monterey for our anniversary last week, I gave my husband the new Kenny G CD and tickets to see him when he's in town! It's a great CD with Christmas Classics. Merry Christmas! ***kim***

"A Merry Hawaiian Christmas" by the Hawai`i Calls Orchestra and Chorus.

It's an oldie (original vinyl was released in 1960s), but the 1974 CD is still my favorite -- because the carols are sung in the Hawaiian language.

For me I can't stop playing the following year after year:

-Harry Connick, Jr. "When My Heart Finds Christmas"

-Kenny G "Miracles"

For the opposite side of the coin in that question of "what Christmas CD do you want to stomp on," my selection would be Dolly Parton's Christmas CD.

It seems every islander here loves it and plays it to death this time of year. Someone please shoot me and put me out of my misery the next time I hear "I'll Be Home with Bells On" or "Hard Candy Christmas."

This is where iPods are great - I made a special playlist of all my favorite songs.

I like the Celine album, too.

Another vote for TSO.....

I went to their concert a few weeks ago. Amazing. Rolling fire balls. Snow falling from the ceiling. And the most amazing light show I've ever seen.

Oh, and the music is pretty awesome too.....

Corny but Bing Crosbys, White Christmas album with the Andrews sisters ( no, I am not that old lol)
A new guy we discovered here in Portland, Aaron Meyer, amazing violinist.
I like Classical Christmas music, and the music from The Snowman and Charlotte Church

My favorite Christmas CD is Vince Gill's "Let There Be Peace on Earth".

LOVE it!

Remember that duet of White Christmas that Bing and David Bowie did? I love that. Hearing David Bowie sing the "Peace on earth, goodwill toward men" part makes me cry!

I have a best of that's terrific. It's mainly Bing, Nat King Cole, duets and other old, old timers.

I play the Celine with "These ARE Special Times" etc. too

But actually for some reason my favorite Christmas songs are primarily Nutcracker classical or Karen Carpenter.

The older I get the more I love Karen Carpenter at Christmas.

I like lots of the other choices as posted too.
