Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic was freebie. Since Christmas is only a couple weeks away, I decided to talk about some of my favorite Christmas music. There was always music playing in my house growing up, especially at Christmas. Here are some of my favorites. Albums are linked to Amazon.
A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi-This is probably my favorite Christmas special, and the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas Narrated by Boris Karloff-There are many versions of The Grinch, but this is by far my favorite.
The Christmas Album by The Manhattan Transfer-I love this album so much! It is fun and upbeat at times, but then has some lovely slower songs as well.
Celtic Christmas Volume 3-A Windam Hill Sampler-I have many Celtic Christmas albums that I listen to all the time. I really love the opening part of the first song. It gives me chills!
Christmas, A Fresh Aire Christmas, Christmas in the Aire, Christmas Extraordinaire by Mannheim Steamroller-My dad used to listen to these albums all the time, and they bring back so many memories when I listen to them.

Sleigh Ride and Other Holiday Favorites by Leroy Anderson-A delightful collection of Christmas songs that always brings a smile to my face.
And Winter Came by Enya-Enya is a favorite of mine and her Christmas album is great.
Christmas Songs by Diana Krall-I love her voice!
What If Mozart Wrote “White Christmas” by The Northern Lights Orchestra-A really fun take on classic Christmas songs!
What If Mozart Wrote “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by The Hampton String Quartet-Again, this album is a fun take on well known Christmas songs. It’s definitely a favorite!
What do you think? Do you listen to any of these? What sort of Christmas music do you enjoy?
Great list! I love a lot of the traditional Christmas hymns, but some of my favourite Christmas songs are Chris de Burgh’s A Spaceman Came Travelling, Cliff Richard’s Saviour’s Day, Mike Oldfield’s In Dulci Jubilo and Celtic Woman’s rendition of Carol of the Bells. In fact Celtic Woman’s entire Christmas album is lovely!
Thank you!
I really enjoy tradition Christmas hymns as well. I agree. Celtic Women’s Christmas album is great!

This is a great idea for a post!! I love it! I can’t believe we’re so close to Christmas already XD
I listen to a lot of the usual Christmas songs, my sister has been listening to a lot of Micheal Buble, which means I’VE been listening to him too! XD
Those “What if Mozart Wrote” Christmas songs sound so good?? ANd interesting! I have to check them out!

Great choice for freebie! As someone who was madly in love with music as a teen but went academic not creative for uni I am intrigued by the what if songs!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed my list. 🙂
You’ll have to let me know what you think if you check out the What If Mozart music.

I grew up with Charlie Brown and The Grinch, so they’re near and dear to my heart. Wonderful list 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed my list!
Yes, Charlie Brown and The Grinch are very special. I watch and listen to the music multiple times through the Christmas season.

I am going to look around for WHAT IF MOZART… I love Christmas music.
I love Christmas music too.

There are so many great Christmas albums that I come back to every year! It’s amazing how the feel of the holidays can really come through.
I love listening to Christmas music too. Do you have a favorite?
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I love Christmas music! One of my favorite Christmas songs in recent years has been “Sound of the Round” by Northland Church. It has such a lovely, epic quality to it.
I love Christmas music too!
I haven’t heard Sound of the Round! I’ll have to look it up.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I love the original version of The Grinch! Such a great song.
Definitely!

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed my list.

OOh nice picks! My problem with picking my favorite songs is that I don’t know who originally sang them. I love the original versions of most of the rock hits and they’ve been redone so many times, it’s hard to keep them all straight! Lol.
Thanks for visiting my TTT post!
You’re welcome!
Yes, many songs have been redone several times, and I agree that the original is usually best.

Christmas music really sets the mood during the holiday season. Here in my country, you’ll start hearing Christmas songs as soon as it’s September 1st.
Wow! Christmas music in September! I typically start listening to Christmas music in November.
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂
The Vince Guaraldi soundtrack is probably my favorite piece of Christmas music, and immediately transports me into a holiday vibe! The Grinch is amazing too!
I’ll have to check out Celtic Christmas 3. I like Windham Hill stuff and Celtic music as well.
The Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is so good. Other people have covered it, but none of them sound as good as Vince Guaraldi.
If you do check out the Celtic music, you’ll have to let me know what you think!

Great choice for this week’s freebie! I haven’t listened to any of the music you’ve mentioned in this list but I also love Diana Krall’s voice and have been listening to some of her tunes lately, and I think I’m going to love listening to her sing some Christmas tunes ? Will definitely check some of these out!
I’m glad you enjoyed my topic!
Yes, Diana Krall is great! If you listen to her Christmas album, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

Wait, Enya did a Christmas album? Her voice is gorgeous! This is a very cool list!
Thank you!
Yes! Enya has a Christmas album and it is beautiful.
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I’m not a fan of Christmas music in November, but I think once it’s December, you ought to go for it.
I admit I gradually start listening to Christmas music in November, but do most of my listening in December and stop after New Years.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Can’t go wrong with How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 🙂
I agree!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Great theme this week! Oooooh, Enya. <3 I love her!
Thank you!
Yes, Enya is wonderful!!

Christmas music is ALWAYS the best kind of topic. Love it. And Mannheim Steamroller is one of our oldie favorites. So much talent, and lots of good music to enjoy. 🙂
I love Christmas music too!
Mannhiem Steamroller is definitely a favorite of mine too. I know it is older and sounds dated, but I still love it!
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Great list. I should really look at the Enya one!
Thanks!
