my faves Christmas albums.

isn't it ironic how daunting Christmas music can actually be? i mean, yes, Bing Crosby is incredibly nostalgic for me but, at the same time, can no one come out with new, original Christmas songs? or especially great covers of old classics? i mean really.so, yes, i'm a little picky about the Christmas tunes i will play during the Christmas season. but by being picky, i don't get sick of hearing the same songs by the same artists over and over and over again and when i do find an entire Christmas album that i actually like, its like finding that lost earring you've been searching all over for. GLORIOUS!
so, what do i listen to during the Christmas season? well, i'm so glad you asked. i've been circulating three albums this year and i've been really enjoying each album.

album: Home for Christmas

artist: *NSYNC

this album is one of my Christmas staples. i've been listening to it every year since 1998 and i probably will listen to it every year for the rest of my life. its just not Christmas without a little bit of my favorite boy band crooning to Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.

album: Christmas

artist: Michael Buble

um, who wouldn't want Michael Buble serenading them during the holidays? yeah, even his generic Christmas tunes make me melt like butter.

that man. oh.

album: A Very She&Him Christmas

artist: She&Him

this is probably the most quaint and charming Christmas album i've ever heard. it makes the holidays feel so cozy and lovely. i love, love, love Zooey Deschanel's voice and their spin on some of the traditional Christmas songs are a nice change of pace from what's usually played on the radio.

so, tell me, what are your favorite Christmas albums? i know the good ones are few and far between, but there have to be some out there, right?
