Christmas music that doesn't suck.

I really, really love Christmas and I really, really love music but I almost never listen to Christmas music. I find a lot of it to be really repetitive and unimaginative. However there are some good Christmas albums so I thought I'd share a couple with you.


A Christmas Carole Carole King
One of the greatest song writers in the world had released a Christmas album....where she didn't write any of the songs. It's still quite an original album with some of the songs written by her daughter Louise Goffin. Carole has more than proved herself as a song writer so it's nice to just chill out and listen to her sing.



A Very She and Him Christmas Zooey Deschanel (from the TV show The New Girl) and musician M. Ward make up She and Him. If you like your Christmas music to be a bit more folksy and indie-cool give this album a listen. No original music but they have made each song their own.

Christmas Duets Elvis Presley
Elvis singing Christmas songs with biggest stars in country music today. Featuring the likes of Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Olivia Newton John. It's the King, you can't really go wrong.

On This Winter's Night Lady Antebellum
One of my favorite bands in the world (they're AMAZING live). Lady A have put together an album that pretty much has the exact same set list as most other Christmas albums but they have changed the arrangement on a lot of the songs and the harmonies are incredible. They wrote the title track of the album so make sure you check that one out.
