But they don't play anything I really love. And, for me, it's Christmas music (the kind I grew up with) that is a HUGE part of why I love Christmas so much. I find it just so beautiful that sometimes I could almost cry. My best friend has told me that she just "hates hates HATES" my Christmas music, on more than one occasion, although she has heard very little of it. One that she heard was A Music Box Christmas. She said recently that I like opera, and proceeded to sing in a loud, high soprano voice with a lot of vibrato for emphasis. Fact is, I may like a couple arias here and there but, as a whole, I don't really care for opera. And how can anyone not like music box Christmas music? But, I know it's all subjective. It can just be a bit lonely when 99% of the world loves Bing, Andy, Nat, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Dino, Frank, etc...and you love a completely different genre. Anyway, sorry for going on a tangent.
So, mistletoe, what are some Christmas cd's or music that you enjoy?
