Well. The post I have prepared for you is not as organized as Drew's, which I'm sure many of you have seen. I've been organizing my Christmas music and adding to my collection tonight, and listening to it makes me really happy now that it's finally the Christmas season. So basically here are my favorite things to listen to at Christmas, in the form of a top ten list:
10. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
9. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
8. We Three Kings
7. Carol of the Bells
6. Coventry Carol
5. Ave Maria
4. Silent Night
3. Nutcracker Suite
2. O Come, O Come Emmanuel
1. O Holy Night (best versions--Amy Grant, Josh Groban, Celine Dion, and two unidentified guys who used to be labeled as Celine Dion on my computer but are clearly not.)
Now. As far as Christmas music goes, I am very picky, and I have a pretty low level of tolerance for cheese; as such, there are very few whole Christmas CDs that I would be willing to own in their entireties. However, Nathalie was listening to one yesterday by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir that I really loved, and as soon as I find out the name of it I shall let you know.
The end.

Sounds very interesting. I would be quite interested in helping to identify these unknown O Holy Night singers of yours, and if you can tell me the songs that appeared on said Motab CD, I could definitely point you in the direction of finding out which one it is.
