Christmas Carols

I couldn't resist posting a lil Christmas cheer. One of the best things about Christmas is the music. There are a great number of talented artists who have recorded / performed Christmas songs. Here are two I thought would warm up the morning:

I love Christmas music

and have been listening to my FAVORITE cd for several weeks now!

(Yes, even BEFORE Thanksgiving.)

I have multiple copies of Donny Osmond's "CHRISTMAS AT HOME" so that I can listen to it in my car(s), at home, in the craft room, and at work.

The year it was released (1997) it was my gift of choice to my friends and family. I think I must have bought 30 copies of the cd. I remember haunting all of the Target's in our area, and trying to buy just about every copy they had. It was fun and so very worth it.
