I love Christmas music… I am one of those people that pulls the Christmas CD out some time around August and starts to play it in secret so no one will make fun of me… I have many favorite songs, so it is so hard to make a list but I will attempt to try…
1. Silent Night… My number one all time favorite song has a specific time and place to sing it that makes it my favorite… At the stroke of midnight at Anderson Mill Road Baptist Church singing Silent Night… For that brief moment, it seems as if the whole world is standing still… that there is no trouble, no wars, no famine, no disease… just peace… Everyone standing there worshipping the Lord… You gotta think that is just a little piece of heaven.
2. O Holy Night… I love this song… I just looked at my iTunes and I have 3 different arrangements there… Mariah Cary, Josh Groban, and Celine Dione. They all sing this song the way it supposed to be sung…From your gut…. I love the line in there where it says “truly He taught us, to love one another, His lot is love and His gospel is peace….and in His name all oppression shall cease” I am listening to Celine sing it even as I type…. Fall on your knees, and hear the angel voices….. MAN ALIVE…what a night that must have been!!!!!!!!!! You gotta have a song that moves you like this on your favorites!!!
3. Silver Bells… I love this song because my mom used to sing it all the time when I was little…The other day Matt and I were riding somewhere and this song was on the radio, and sang every word… He laughed at me and said I was the only person to know the 2nd verse of any Christmas carol… What kind I say, my mama taught me well!!!
4. The First Noel… This is on my top 5 because I LOVE to play this one on my trumpet. It sounds so good on trumpet, especially if you are in a large open space where the sound can just echo.
5. It Must’ve Been ‘Ole Santa Claus… This is a fairly new song when compared to others on the list… It is by Harry Connick Jr. It has a great Jazz type feel too it with a nice little dancing beat… I can hardly drive when this one comes on because I bounce all over my seat… If you have never heard it, email me and I will send you the mp3. It is great!!!
What are some of your favorites… Share them with me… Save the complaints about playing music too early… I will pray for you to get in the Christmas Spirit!!!

I absolutely love to hear "O Holy Night" when it is sung by a huge choir and orchestra! That song just give me huge chill bumps! Even when we played it 2 weeks ago in our concert, I was just loving that song! I don't know what it is about it, but even just the music to me is awe inspiring to listen to, and gives me mental pictures of Christ's Glory in Heaven!
