Being a definite Christmas fan, I've got a lot of Christmas music. In fact, there are 376 Christmas tracks in my iTunes library right now! Still, I have to buy a couple of new CDs every year. This year I just bought and downloaded a couple of albums from the iTunes Music Store, since it's so easy and quick, and I really just went on impulse. So, first I ended up with Hilary Duff's Santa Claus Lane, recorded in the old days when Hilary was still Lizzie and she wasn't afraid of some cute baby fat. Contemporary Christmas CDs usually include a few new tunes, hoping to score "classic" status, but Hilary doesn't have a chance with I Heard Santa on the Radio or the barf-tastic Tell Me a Story! Thankfully, her covers are pretty cool - Wonderful Christmastime is way more rockin' than the original, and Last Christmas is really great, too. The second CD I bought is Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas. I don't have any other Mariah music, and I haven't followed her celebrity ups and downs, but I know one thing - that girl can sing, and this is a fantastic album! In fact, All I Want for Christmas is You is one of the best contemporary holiday songs ever! She also does a great job on traditional carols, all with a gospel feel. Her voice is just amazing to me! This music has definitely made driving in holiday traffic a more enjoyable experience.Labels: holidays
