Music will get me into the Christmas spirit more than most anything. More than decorating or shopping or baking. I could forgo all of that, as long as I had Christmas music to listen to.
Now narrowing down my favorites so they fit on a single blog post isn’t easy. I love all types of Christmas music from classical to rock, so rather than try to fit them all into a post, I’ll be spotlighting a song a day on my Facebook author page. I’d love it if you’d stop by and share your favorite Christmas music as well.
I actually started yesterday by posting Selah‘s Noel off their Rose of Bethlehem album. That album is the rarity in that I LOVE every song. I love Selah’s tight harmonies and their powerful vocals. Just gives me goosebumps!
My song for today is probably the first song I have to hear every Christmas season: White Heart’s Little Drummer Boy (found on White Heart‘s Souvenirs Album and the Christmas compilation album). I remember watching / hearing them perform this at Sonshine Music Festival years ago, in the middle of July. Talk about goosebumps!
Do you have any favorite Christmas music? Perhaps a favorite album or arrangement?

A song a day — I like that idea, Brenda! Yesterday I was blogging about How Many Kings, but today I have Mary Did You Know stuck in my head. Pentatonix recorded it on their Christmas album they released a couple of month’s ago, and it was pretty impressive! There are so many good ones it’s hard to choose favorites!
Pentatonix is amazing, aren’t they? I think I’ve loved everything they’ve come out with and their Mary Did You Know is up there with the best.
