Add At Least One Album or Song to Your Christmas Collection Each Year
It doesn't Always Work That Way But I Still Try
If you are like me you tend to shop year round for Christmas. And to be hones when it comes to this I am notorious for the after Christmas Sales. Especially when it comes to music.
A lot of the stuffs is usually picked through. But not all. I hate to admit it but I like the gift cards sometimes more than the actual presents. Take for example an Amazon gift card. I have used them for purchasing movies, albums and individual songs. I enjoy using the amazon Cloud drive. This way I can access my music anywhere and also have the tunes on the MP3 player.
But where am I going with this you say? Easy answer. Its all about the music. Some I want them on CD or DVD others can just be in the clouts or an MP3 file. Ether way it is music. Some I am getting at a reduced price and others I am just picking out one song which is less expensive then the whole album.
Yes folks I am cheep and I admit it. So please go forth and see where the music has lead me and where it can lead you to help enjoy the Christmas season.
I mentioned gifts and gift cards - So the question is...

The Canadian Brass Noel with Guest Stars
This is one in my collection. As part of a few jazz bands throughout my schooling I still enjoy a little brass here and there. in this case I have played this one on repeat more.
In the Christmas Mood
Another one also in my collection. Yes I like Glen Miller - In the Mood. So adding a little jazz to Christmas is always a nice thing to do. And in case you were curious there is a second album. In the Christmas Mood II. Sorry world I don't have that one yet. But I do keep my eye on it.

Pentatonix
Not one I was expecting
When it comes to singing I prefer to go at it alone. This means that there's no musical back up. I am not sure how I stumbled across this group yesterday but by the time I went to bed I had gotten myself a new Christmas album. In fact the first song I found is the one that I am sharing below. "Mary Did You Know". And to be honest there was one song I found that I was hoping would be on this album but wasn't. And that was their rendition of "The Little Dumber Boy".
Pentatonix - Mary Did You Know
And after all that here is where I picked up my copy of this album
A second album a second song
OK so here is the album that has the song I was looking for. It is track # 7 The Little Drummer Boy. I am also doing things backwards. Meaning that this album's released first and it is the second one that I added to my collection. In the good news it is now part of my collection. Also I got this one on Amazon. This means when I bought the CD I also had a copy added to my cloud account. I then started listening immediately to this years Christmas album.

Pentatonix New Holiday Album "That's Christmas To Me" Out Now! http://smarturl.it/PTXtctmiT?IQid=fbshare
There have been few songs that I will get and have to pay for online - The one listed here have made that list.
There are others that have made the list but not the Christmas list.
As a disclaimer I am signed up to get free music that is legal not just surfing the net. That's what I mean by "There have been few songs that I will get and have to pay for online"
Matthew West - One Last Christmas
You know you need to get the song when it moves you to tears. If you feel this happening play it safe and pull over to the side of the road.
Below is the video for this song. Again play it safe before listening and watching as there maybe tears involved. Or at least a bit of choking up happening.
As of December 6, 2015 you can get this single on Amazon for $1.29.
Matthew West - One Last Christmas
One Last Stocking Stuffer
Every year at the bottom of our stockings is an orange, Do you get the same thing?
A little something extra for the holidays - I know that this is not Christmas music but it does go great along with it.
This is a nice one to have both at home and at work. I have always liked camp fires and fires in the fireplace. This allows you to have the fires burning year round. Even if you have them on mute. Just seeing the fireplace lit up helps to keep you warm in spirit even if its not in body.
In fact I had this one on three different computer screens at work because the windows are next to my desk. And everyone but me is saying its to hot in here and want the window open just a little bit.
