I also love Mannheim Steamroller Christmas. Little Drummer Boy reminds me of my dear dad, he loved that song.
Do You Hear what I Hear? was my Nanny's (grandma) favorite. We'd have Christmas Eve at her and Papa's old farmhouse and Nanny would play the guitar while my Mom and my brother would harmonize and sing .. Great memories...
Carpenter's Christmas compilation is another one I love.

But my all time fave has always been Carol of the Bells. Just about every version I've ever heard I love.

My dfil makes sure Elvis' Blue Christmas is cued up ready to play the minute we get to his house on Christmas. We open the door, he pushes the play button, I groan, he laughs, It's Christmas!!
He knows I LOATHE (sorry any Elvis fans) that song!! So it's a family tradition now...

ok wanna know a secret? ... um I have already listened to a couple Christmas albums.. accidentally of course you know take that off and put on.. another one it helps me finish projects. two mug rugs done, many more to go. not very fast at this! so mailing is coming just slowly. plus postage kills me on things so I can only mail one package every two weeks. it is the way it is. sigh.

what are you making for Christmas projects? My sis just sent me money she wants a day of the dead apron. of all things! I got one yard of Alexander Henry fabric with skulls with flowers on them and need some blenders to go with it. then to find the back fabric reversible are her favorite. floral roses? pull the skulls on as a pocket. sigh interesting fabric to work with. not my cup of tea wish I had more variety for it but will work with what I have.

I love most of the ones already mentioned but my all time favorites are rather obscure ones: The Best Gift by Barbra Streisand, and Little Altar Boy by Andy Williams
Both touched my heart is very special ways.

So do you not put a return address on the package so they can't figure out who sent it? A bit risky no?

Just finished up today, I swear, the final item is ready! I need to quit thinking about oh this would be nice, just one more little thing! Some little items I've picked up and then I think later, no that doesn't really fit in with anything. So it will take a few days to find the right mailing envelope, then get it addressed, etc. Trying to take my time so I won't mail too early. Hope the colors I chose actually work with colors of her kitchen that she mentioned. So many different shades! My package will be going west and north of me.
