ugh!!

I've spent the last hour scrolling through iTunes, looking for Christmas music.

What a depressing way to spend an hour!!!!!

The reason for the search: Every year, we wrap Christmas gifts, we have the school here for their Christmas banquet, we do a Tangerine Memories service. Every year, I realize we don't have any Christmas CD's to put on in the background, or to put on before or after a service. Someone always lends me one or two at the last minute, but I thought I'd get ahead a little this time.

The resulting depression: Listening to one person after another croon about "being home for Christmas" does NOT put me in the holiday spirit.

So...personally I like some of the Christmas music from Mercy Me, Take 6, Russ Taff, and ... I have a Rosie O'Donnell Christmas CD that makes me LAUGH!!

Got any suggestions? I need some nice instrumental ... some fun ... a whole mix. Do you like jazz Christmas, classical Christmas, choir Christmas, R&B Christmas, orchestral Christmas, old-time Christmas, weird re-mix Christmas, country Christmas, rock Christmas?

If you have a favourite, please oh please, tell me!
