Songs for Christmas
After the "Advent Songs" post the other day, several people asked for some direction on Christmas music. Here are a few things that jumped to mind immediately:
I love Evan's work on "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" below and I love every guy playing an instrument in this video.

Brad & Luke did an amazing Adventure Drums video of a song that may take some of you back:

As far as some incredible Christmas records to enjoy these last few days before the big day:
- Sufjan Stevens: Silver & Gold (Listen to the whole things here!)
- Phil Wickham: Songs for Christmas (Seriously a Christmas masterpiece!)
- Seth Philpott: Merry Christmas (Great guy. Great tunes.)
- Evan Wickham: Christmas Music Volume 1 (Fresh takes on songs, old and new.)
- Sleeping at Last: Christmas Collection (Download it here for free!)
- Steven Curtis Chapman: Joy (Timeless.)
And although Dave Barnes also has a great Christmas record, his Christmas Extravaganzas are hilarious ... especially this year's.
Also, for myself this year, I put together a Spotify playlist to always have updating. Check it out here: Feliz NaviDODD
(Also, check out some fun Christmas videos from 2010.)
Feliz NaviDODD. Merry Christmas and have a great holiday!
