I bought one of their CD's a few years ago, and just didn't like it! Don't know why; maybe it was just TOO frenetic for me. I do like Mannheim Steamroller, but they balance their frenzy with more gentle, melodic tunes. I'm not a big fan of most 'popular' Christmas music, though I do have a few CDs.

My tastes in Christmas Music tend more towards the Classical, both instrumental and choral. I really love 'early' music; both the Medieval and Renaissance eras. I got to see Boston Camerata for the first time last year when they did their 'Noel, Noel' program, which was French music. This year, they're doing their 'Renaissance program', which is my FAVORITE Christmas CD. I'm hoping that our daughter can get her flight home for Christmas that day. I'll pick her up from the airport and go right into Cambridge for the performance. I also have several CD's by a group called Anonymous 4; 4 women who do all their music a cappella, and sound like I would imagine the angels sound.

Can't wait for tomorrow which is my self imposed deadline on starting Christmas music! Otherwise I'd listen all year.

I agree. I thought the very same thing about their CDs for Christmas...one sweet/good song combined with so many that were too harsh for the season.

Their concert is entirely a different matter. THIS is their venue for me. It is an experience that is unmatched EVER by ANYone.

I LOVE Christmas music too! (it's my birthday) and LOVE that everything is decorated and people are nice to each other and EVERY one gets presents! I can't WAIT to decorate! In fact...since we're having a quiet Thanksgiving...I'm going to start tomorrow.

I go to visit my Mom for her b-day (Dec 5th #87) soon. Hubby and my anniversary is the 3rd of December, and my oldest Dachshund's b-day is the 31st--he'll be 16!!! He acts like he's around 7!

December is a month I like to celebrate EVERY DAY!
