Anyone who knows me should know that I am a nut for Christmas time. I can not get enough of the feeling, which should also let people know why I am still listening to Christmas music in March and then start again in July. It is a magical time.
I was privileged enough to get one of my presents early this year. My wonderful mother bought me the new Josh Groban Christmas CD. I've been asking everyone I know why he hasn't come out with a holiday CD until now...I just don't understand. One of the tracks is a song titled Thankful (which I just added to the song list). I really believe this one is awesome for Christmas time, when people generally take the time to think about what they have and also what they can do for others who may not be as fortunate. I also believe that it should resonate through the whole year. We as a people are truly fortunate, blessed if you will, with amazing prosperity. Just remember that it can almost always get worse. Being thankful for what you have makes the bad times in life seem insignificant.

I just bought the CD also and love it. I like the classical/religious music of Christmas not the commercialized and non-religious stuff. I love the real meaning of Christmas, not the sectarian hype. The Savior is Christmas. Family next and that is it.
My comparable female artist is Sissel Kyrkjebo. Check out the new CD "Spirit of Season" CD where she sings with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
I have to agree with Travis and my Dad. I looove the Josh Christmas CD. It has beautiful songs sung by his oh -so-beautiful voice. Track 5 is my favorite! I love the harmony.
I would like to add my favorite Christmas son. It's called "Mary, Did You Know?". My favorite version is by Kenny Rogers and Wynnona Judd. It's about Mary looking at her beautiful newborn baby and wondering if she knew of the great things He would do. Check it out!
