I&nbsp;love Christ\u00admas music. You\u2019d think that 20&nbsp;years in retail would have milked all of that out of me, but usu\u00adal\u00adly around Hal\u00adloween, I&nbsp;get the itch. To get you all in the mood for the Hol\u00adi\u00addays, I\u2019m going to share with you some of my favorites. First up is Jin\u00adgle Bells. Not the every\u00adday ver\u00adsion that your kinder\u00adgar\u00adden\u00ader sings, but this ver\u00adsion is by Cana\u00addi\u00adan band The Bare\u00adnaked Ladies. Their Hol\u00adi\u00adday album is filled with humor. You got\u00adta love a&nbsp;band that makes you smile, right? This starts out slow, but stick with it\u2026you\u2019ll love&nbsp;it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Anoth\u00ader favorite, I&nbsp;could lis\u00adten to this one all year. (I\u2019ve been known to pop this <span class=\"caps\">CD<\/span> in mid July) I&nbsp;could\u00adn\u2019t find a&nbsp;video, but you can lis\u00adten to it <a href=\"http:\/\/new.music.yahoo.com\/clint-black\/tracks\/birth-of-the-king--34532918\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. It\u00c2&nbsp;starts out qui\u00adet, so if it sounds like it isn\u2019t play\u00ading, just give it a&nbsp;few seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And then there\u2019s Josh Groban. His entire Christ\u00admas album Noel\u00c2&nbsp;is beau\u00adti\u00adful, but this par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar song won\u2019t be found on No\u00ebl, it\u2019s on his live album. *sigh* Love his&nbsp;voice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nx0C5ZDi1rs<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Last but not least, Mannheim Steam\u00adroller, a&nbsp;Christ\u00admas favorite since 1980 (ish).\u00c2&nbsp; I&nbsp;love all of their Christ\u00admas albums, and it would be very hard to pick a&nbsp;favorite, so I&nbsp;just plucked the first one that I&nbsp;found on YouTube. Enjoy:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Meu_uczBEqM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, to dec\u00ado\u00adrate my tree, and plug in all my lights.
