I live Enya’s “And Winter Came,” except for one song. The album is not very new, but most people aren’t familiar with it. She sings a couple of classics with her own stylistic twist and several of her own songs. They are not as “new age-y” as most of her work (though I love her other albums too).

Ooh! I love Enya but don't know the album. Off to play it. Thanks so much!

So I'm laughing at myself now for saying the songs aren't as "new age-y." I listen to Enya so much that it all seems "typical" to me. So maybe they are just as much in that style. Which is fine by me.

I don't like the song "Time Flies." My favorite is the one about the different colors--I can't remember what it's called. "Green is in the mistletoe, and red is in the holly."

Do you listen to the Straight No Chaser and/or Pentatonix albums?

Sia. She's one of my favorite artists. I bought her Christmas album last year on Amazon when it was released. I didn't realize Target has her album with 3 extra songs. I would love to get those extra songs, but not keen on paying for another CD. Never mind that I recently realized I don't really have a CD player anymore! Only 1 car has a player. https://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Christmas-Sia/dp/B076Q4SQPS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544310083&sr=8-1&keywords=sia+christmas+album

I like a lot of the songs on Postmodern Jukebox’s Christmas album.

I just learned about Postmodern Jukebox because it was playing as background music during lunch at a work conference. Everyone was asking the conference staff what the music was. So excited to learn there’s an Xmas album.

I love their music in general. I describe them as Kidz Bop for Grown People.

Yes! I adore them, probably too much! I had been listening pretty much only to them, Jewel’s Christmas album from 1999, and older school Christmas classics. I’m excited to expand my repertoire!

Thanks for the additional information and the recommendation. I really like the album!

Straight No Chaser is on repeat at our house - we went to see them live last year! I love a capella holiday music and the kids think they are hilarious.

I also listen to George Winston's album December a lot. Quiet piano music.

I like Amazon's alternative Christmas station when I need a break from the standards :)

A few years back, my husband made me 3 Christmas CDs with a song list that I gathered from the BBB. :)

I can post pictures of my song lists if you want.

Listening to Lauren Daigle's Christmas album. Love her, but her Christmas album is more bluesy than I expected.

Thank you for the heads up! Her song Trust in You got me through some really dark times. I can't wait to hear her Christmas album.

Dave Barnes has two Christmas albums and one of them contains my "It's not Christmas until I hear this song" song-Very Merry Christmas and A December to Remember.

You're welcome! :)

I have Amazon Prime, and it looks the album is free for Prime members. I just realized if you click on the "Deluxe" version, the extra 3 songs show up. I downloaded them, so yay for more Christmas music from one of my favorite singers!

I'm glad you posted. I had no idea Sia had a Christmas album. I love (some of) her music, too.

Honestly, I heard a children’s choir do it and it blew me away. I have tried to find one I loved more, but haven’t. Glen miller and Toby Keith do it well.
