2015 Christmas, what are you listening to thread.

[eljr]

Just got this new release last week and am giving it a first spin.
Retail is dressing in Christmas as we speak and the wife announced that Christmas decorations would be going up now as she just lives for the Christmas season. (we have never put them up before Thanksgiving before)
So, feeling overpowered, I acquiesce and do my first Christmas spin.

I should get this as I think it's one my whole family would enjoy! Thanks for the recommendation!

Phil Keaggy with the London Festival Orchestra

This is a phenomenal acoustic guitar driven Christmas CD - too bad it isn't available on vinyl. Came out in 1999, I believe.

Love it. Death metal King Diamond stare above some X-mas albums. Quite the dichotomy.

25 days just isn't enough to go through all the good Christmas music out there
