Christmas Time!

With Christmas around the corner, I thought I would share some of my favorite Christmas albums with you. I would suggest getting a copy of these in time for some Christmas jams!



Sufjan Stevens - Songs for Christmas (5 Disc Set)




This is a very fun collection of classics and originals. A few original gems: Come On! Let's Boogie to the Elf Dance!; Get Behind Me, Santa!; and Put the Lights on the Tree. The album includes several short instrumental arrangements of major classics. My favorite part of the album is the rare arrangement of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. A must listen!



Relient K - Let it Snow Baby...Let it Reindeer



This grouping includes my favorite non-religious Christmas song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." If you like Christmas, you'll be excited about these arrangements of "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "12 Days of Christmas." Find this album right away!



Manheim Steamroller - (ANY Christmas album)




This group has released 9 Christmas albums! While I haven't heard them all, I can certainly vouch for them as a group. They have sold over 28 million albums! Not bad for a group mostly releasing Christmas music.

I LOVE that Sufjan album. It's the best.

Soemtimes I listen to Little Drummer Boy when it's not Christmas.
