Christmapalooza

As my dear, sweet husband so eloquently put it, I'm doing a Christmapalooza. Last week my selected artist was the big E, Elvis Presley. This week, it's Amy Grant. It is not Christmas for me until I've listened to her Christmas CD's. I had misplaced my very favorite one, gave up looking for it, and finally bought a new one. It's hard for me to select my favorite song on that particular CD because the entire CD is great, but here are a couple. I do have a couple songs I'm more partial to, but unfortunately couldn't find them to share with you. The first one is a jazzy/swing type number that gets me in the Christmas mood, the second one is a beautiful hymn reminding us of the sacrifice God made in that miracle of his precious child, and the last one is special to me because it conjures up childhood memories of my Tenneesee Christmases. I hope you enjoy Amy Grant's "Christmas Can't be Very Far Away", "Breath of Heaven", and "Tennessee Christmas".

Not exactly what I had in mind when I nominated you to carry on the tradition of the Christmas Youtubapalooza. But since you went and changed the name and all, I guess it's yours to do with as you wish ;)

PS - Isn't Amy Grant married to Vince Neil?

Vicki said...

All good choices, Stacie! I like Amy, too.

Vince Neil, Art?? Oh, I'll bet you mean that guy that used to sing with Pure Prairie League, way back when. ;)

By the way, Art...that's her ex playing guitar next to her in the third video. (Gary Chapman was one of my favorite singers...)

Vicki - Oh, right. I get those two guys mixed up all the time;) Excellent music-nerd reference there, btw. I bet Ms. Supergirl didn't even know that tidbit. Of course you knew I'd pick up on it...

Music-nerd? Moi?
