I love Christmas music. I love Christmas music almost to a fault. My all-time favorite Christmas song is Vince Vance and the Valliants, "All I Want for Christmas Is You".

Sirius Satellite Radio thankfully understands my love of Christmas music and has dedicated not one, not two, but three whole channels to commercial-free Christmas music, all month long. You've got your Christmas country, your traditional favorites, and my favorite, classical Christmas. Just listen to this!

"Featuring traditional holiday music performed by the world’s leading orchestras, choirs and opera stars, and including classic Christmas carols and masterpieces such as Handel’s Messiah and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker"

There are certain classical Christmas songs that I think everyone needs to hear. For instance, how anyone can go through the holidays without A Carnegie Hall Christmas Concert is just beyond me. Frederica Von Stade and Kathleen Battle do the most amazing version of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas."

I am a Messiah lover at any time of the year. I've heard lots of versions, but none is better (to me) than that of the Gabrieli Consort & Players. The articulation is exquisite. The ONLY thing that bugs me about this recording is that instead of, "All we like sheep have gone astray" sounds like, "All we like she have gone astray" and that just doesn't make sense.

I could go on. I'll spare you. :o)

I am in love with Josh Groban, and honestly, Josh Groban is in love with me, he just doesn't know it yet. For me (okay, and for the whole entire world, too - I guess I can share since this is the season of giving), he released a new album, Noel, with which I am in love. On this disc, he has managed to marry two of my favorites - country and classical - in one of my favorite Christmas songs, The First Noel.

Long story short - I think this is a really awesome song, and I think you should give it a listen.
