Christmas Music

The best Christmas music (as far as I'm concerned) isn't trendy or rocky, but beautiful and meaningful... and has been with me since my childhood.....

"In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan ~

Earth stood hard like iron, water like a stone ~

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow ~

In the bleak midwinter, long ago..." ~

My Christmas music is very 90's, but I don't care!

It fills my home with warmth and happiness!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

"Oh Emmanuel, God with us ~

With a light to break the darkness ~

That we may show your hope to the world ~

Emmanuel, be God in us" ~

I am very careful not to listen to Christmas music outside of the holiday season.

That way when I pull out my CD's, it all seems exciting and new!

"The happiest wishes are just old-fashioned wishes ~

May your days be merry, your sorrows be small ~

May the ones you love be near you ~

That's the happiest Christmas of all" ~

Would you like to see my favorite Christmas CD's?

I know this all seems 90's, like I said, but the truth is, the music itself is perfectly timeless...

Here they are:

George Winston, December

Point Of Grace, A Christmas Story

Michael W. Smith, Christmastime 

Frank Sinatra/ Bing Crosby, A Christmas to Remember 

Twila Paris, It's The Thought...

Smoky Mountain, Christmas

(By the way, I should probably mention that there are no affiliate links in this post. I've just simply loved this music for years and wanted to share it with you. :)

"And a loving thought sends us out to find ~

Something special for someone on our mind ~

And we think of friends and of family ~

As we hang our gifts on the Christmas tree" ~

"Truly He taught us to love one another ~

His law is love and His gospel is peace" ~

"One king held the frankincense ~

One king held the myrrh ~

One king held the purest gold ~

One King held the hope of the world" ~

What are you listening to this Christmas season?

I hope it's filling your heart and your home with God's love!
