I wanted to do Christmas music yesterday and I forgot.  We have over 20 hours of Christmas music in our digital library.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Barlow Girl &#8211; It&#8217;s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year<\/strong> from Home for Christmas<br \/>This is a new one this year, and pretty good too.  This is a great version of an old classic with their great harmonies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bing Crosby &#8211; White Christmas<\/strong> from The Perfect Christmas (White Barn Candle Co.)<br \/>Is it really Christmas until you&#8217;ve heard bo-bo-bo-bo Bing Crosby sing this? No, I don&#8217;t think so.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unknown &#8211; Carol of the Bells<\/strong> from Contemporary Holiday Classics (Coca-Cola &#038; Speedway)<br \/>This version feels like a cross between Narada and Mannheim Steamroller. No info on the disc at all on who these folks are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tingstad &#038; Rumbel &#8211; Silent Night<\/strong> from Star of Wonder<br \/>Not sure who these folks are, but it&#8217;s a nice mellow arrangement, again in the style of Narada.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trick Pony &#8211; Winter Wonderland<\/strong> from The Perfect Christmas (White Barn Candle Co.)<br \/>A country version of a Christmas classic. Singer sounds a lot like Dolly Parton.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trans Siberian Orchestra &#8211; Siberian Sleighride [Instrumental]<\/strong> from The Lost Christmas Eve<br \/>A bonus since I&#8217;m late and I love TSO so much.  Getting the Trans Siberian Orchestra out is one of my favorite things about Christmas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your turn, fire up your MP3 player, put it on random, select Christmas music this time, and give me your Christmas list in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An &#8220;Occassional Series&#8221; here at Salguod.net.
