My Favorite Things

I’ve been totally slack on this blog thing.  Trying to get up 5 Christmas trees is taking a lot of time and then there was the Thanksgiving issue.  So here is a short list of my favorite Christmas music.  The first 3 are available in cd format and the fourth is a book of music. 

 

1.  Sandi Patty- O Holy Night

2.  Sandi Patty- Yuletide Joy

3.  Steven Curtis Chapman- The Music of Christmas

4.  Mark Hayes- Emmanuel
