It's Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas

For the last couple of years we have been making Christmas CD's with our favorite songs. Some songs are givens - it wouldn't be Christmas without Sting's "Gabriel's Message" or Elvis' "Blue Christmas", but this year I bought a couple new songs off itunes that sounded especially nice. So here's the Christmas '08 Playlist:

• Away in a Manger (Celtic Woman)
• Blue Christmas (Elvis)
• Carol of the Bells (Celtic Woman - I love their Christmas CD)
• Caroling Caroling (Nat King Cole - lovely classic)
  
• Childrens Winter (Barra MacNeils)
• It's Christmas/Baby Please Come Home (U2)
• Christmas in Kilarney (Barra MacNeils)
• Christmas Pipes (Celtic Woman)
• The Coventry Carol (Allison Moyet - I LOVE this song)
• Ding Dong Merrily on High (Celtic Woman, again, this one reminds me of Little Women)
• Do You Hear What I Hear (Bing - classic and wonderful)
• Elf's Lament (BNL - so funny)
• Gabriel's Message (Sting at his finest)
• God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (BNL and Sarah McLachlan)
• I Believe in Father Christmas (Vertical Horizon)
• I Saw Three Ships (Sting)
• Little Road to Bethlehem (Shawn Colvin)
• A Long December (Counting Crows - this song totally reminds me and Adrian of when we started dating Christmas of '96, it was all over the radio and we spent a lot of time in the car... That sounded bad didn't it. I just meant going to and from dates... Geeze get your head out of the gutter! Though admittedly we did do our fair share of making out too!! Hee hee.;))
• O Holy Night (Michael Crawford - fantastic version)
• Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy (Bing and Bowie - awesome)
• Silent Night (Sarah McLachlan)
• The Wexford Carol (Celtic Woman)
• What Child is This (Kristin Chenoweth)
• Winter Wonderland (Eurythmics - another one I can not do without at Christmas)
