I'll take this one...I actually dig Christmas music.

Last year I discovered the Harry Connick Jr. Christmas disc.  'When My Heart 
Finds Christmas' - not the brand new one.  I'm not a Harry fan at all.  But 
this one just seems.....right.  Me thinks he tries too hard to be Sinatra 
and he just ain't, but this one comes mighty darned close.

This year...don't laugh...I discovered the Jewel Christmas cd.  Once again, 
other than her first cd, I don't care for Jewel at all.  But my roommate is 
a big fan.  I took a chance and listened and was amazed.  It's beautiful.  
Her voice actually sounds good.  Good vocal arrangements.  Probably one of 
the best versions of 'O Holy Night' I've heard. Simple...and Nice.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Michael W. Smith's first christmas 
cd.  The one with 'All Is Well'.  It's gorgeous.  Not just a hodgepodge 
collection but more of a cohesive Christmas unit if you will.  The boy is a 
gifted musician who keeps his real talent hidden under the corrupted cap of 
conformity.

Just a thought...
