Time to take a break from politics again...that stuff can get pretty dreary...so what kind of Christmas Music do you like? Or what's your favorite song or type of music?
Me, I'm more of a traditionalist. I like more traditional, old-school songs, and I prefer the deep baritone voices. My favorite artist is Robert Goulet, and his album, which may be his only Christmas album, Wonderful World of Christmas is my favorite. My favorite song on that album is On This Noel, which isn't exactly some well-known traditional song, but you'd think it was the way he sings it.
I do like some of Johnny Mathis' work, despite his higher voice. I also like Burl Ives...the Home Alone soundtrack...and despite my resistance to pop artists singing Christmas songs, I like Martina McBride's Christmas songs.
My favorite Christmas song is Carol of Bells. I prefer the vocal versions to the instrumentals, but David Foster does a pretty good instrumental version of it. So what about you? Surely you have same favorite songs/artists/music?

Interested in hearing your reply to your Atheist post, check out my repsonse.
That's an extremely difficult question. I recently posed that to listeners of my podcast (with the top 3 songs being played this week.) Sure, traditionals are great but I can sleep way to easily to them. "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 1814" by Trans Siberian Orchestra is intense and amazing. I think I'd have to lean towards it but dunno how much I can hear it. Then again there is the really depressing "She Won't Be Home (Lonely Christmas)" by Erasure. Hmmm... I think the problem is finding one that I can keep listening to that won't make me sick.
