Let It Snow Baby... Let It ReindeerAnother one of my favorites.

Relient K is another upbeat band that is great for the younger crowd and the crowd that wants to feel younger like me. I’m not old I know that but I love to listen to all kinds of music and one thing about Relient K is they are a Christian band that plays music your young ones can listen to, Will listen to.

Christmas Cafe – These Are Special Times Celine Dion

October 26, 2009 By 1 Comment

These Are Special TimesCeline Dion is one of my personal favorite artists. I love her ability to sing and change and keep up with being a mother, artist and wife.

I asked for this CD for two years, one I think I was asking before it even came out. I wanted her Christmas Album and well she hadn’t put one out yet.

Then she did and my husband had a hard time finding it but I finally got it for Christmas after the birth of my first daughter. So, these really were special times.

 

Actually according to Amazon she released this album in 1998, the year I graduated from high school over ten years ago. There are 16 special songs on this wonderful CD.

These Are Special Times

 

My favorite would be

 

However, as much as I love Christmas Music it is so hard to pick a favorite. Esp since I love her so much too. I also enjoy Ave Maria, O Holy night, The magic of Christmas Day and Happy Xmas. Thanks honey for finally getting me this CD when you did. I enjoy it every Christmas.

Christmas Cafe – Dora’s Christmas

October 25, 2009 By 2 Comments

Now, knowing that I have the smartest 18 month old in the world (yes I am a biased loving mother) I warn you, he knows all the words to this CD.

As a family we have listed to this CD more than any of our other Christmas Albums so far. Why, because it comes highly requested and my husband and I love to listen to our little music man sing.

 

Hearing him say “Wiggle Wiggle Giggle Giggle” is hilarious. Then when we laugh at him he’ll smile and say it twice as fast and with a smile on his face. I mean he is a crack up.

Here he is throwing a fit and all I want to do is laugh at him again. Oh, the joys of being a mom, even in the pits of darkness at times make me laugh my bum off.

So back to Dora’s Christmas, the CD has 16 songs that keep us singing for quite a long time because we listen to it over and over again. The songs like Wiggle Wiggle and Shake Shake Shake keep us moving and smiling. We sing in English and Spanish along with Dora, Boots and Swiper. I never wanted to be a Dora loving family but now we are.

I like how some of the songs are about teaching great lessons, no swiping, and about cleaning up. Mom needs help keeping that house clean. Now being one I completely understand why chores exist.

Christmas Cafe – Jump 5 all the joy in the world

October 24, 2009 By 1 Comment

Loving the Christmas Music already in my family. One, I could listen to it all year round but for some reason we turn it off in the new year. But we pull it out in October to listen to again. I figure at first sight of cooler weather it’s time to start listening. So I’m going to try and share my Christmas joy with my readers this season. I have so much Christmas music that I can share a new CD every day from now until Christmas.

Jump 5 : All the Joy in the World

At a Glance

Formed: 2001 (8 years ago)
Split: Dec 16 2007 (1 year ago)

The CD came out October 22, 2002. Since they are no longer together it is hard to find a site to link to other than Amazon with information about the band. I like to listen to Jump 5 when I’m in need of some energy. Jump 5 was very popular with the younger crowd because of the energy that the band presented in their songs. My only complaint is that it only has 8 songs. Sometimes I feel that bands are in such a rush to put out a CD that they short change their audience, but it is an excellent CD and I have a hard time picking a favorite song.

 

I hope that as I continue to blog about Christmas music and helping other through my charity work that you are encouraged in some way to enjoy this Holiday Season.
