Christmas Cafe – These Are Special Times Celine Dion

October 26, 2009 by Momstart 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.

We were sent Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom on DVD and Dora’s Christmas CD to review. I think my daughter is now in love with Dora and I don’t find Dora so annoying anymore. I didn’t used to like her, maybe it was because I always wanted to take a nap and her singing always woke me up.

I love Christmas music and was happy that I could add another children’s Christmas CD to our collection of Christmas Music. Zoe loves it too. She always requests it when we are in the van and when I put it on the other morning she didn’t like that mommy added some other CD’s to the playlist. She only wanted to listen to Dora, not even our Mickey Mouse Christmas CD would do.

I have one copy of the Dora saves the Crystal Kingdom DVD to giveaway and one copy of the DVD to giveaway.
