favorite christmas album
my all time favorite christmas album is mariah carey's merry christmas. it is a must have. liked by guys and girls and guaranteed to bring christmas cheer.
other favorite albums not appreciated by others (but that are part of my heritage)
1. elvis presley's elvis memories of christmas
2. alabama's alabama christmas
3. the chipmunks' christmas with the chipmunks.
some would argue that amy grant's a christmas album would also need to be on this list, but it has yet to be appreciated by me that much.
so what christmas music should you own? i think i just laid it out for you. i welcome any further suggestions or recommendations, but not criticisms. i like these and will always like these. they are a part of christmas for me and hope they become that for you as well!

So many to choose from! But I also enjoy It's Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) because Bono sings it and he's awesome. I also like Christmas All Over Again by Tom Petty - but you're pretty much spot on with everything else!
Oh.My.Gosh. I've secretly loved NSYNC Christmas for years! Thanks for being bold and putting that #2 on your list! :)
The chipmunks are part of your heritage?
When I saw the first one, it made me think of you at Kerr Christmas (not an act, just you singing and dancing to Mariah Carey). :) Fun memories!
Merry Christmas Becca!
I'm sorry - but I disagree . . . no one can sing "The Christmas Song" like Nat King Cole :)
Those are some really good ones. I love #1. It's one of the first I listen to every year (after Thanksgiving, of course.) Also, I just noticed, since you had song titles and people's names in your whole post, that your blog is in all lower case. Why no capitals?
Oh, and by the way, I read your blog. :)
mariah is def first on my list too. no, i'm not joking either.
