Christmas Music Thoughts

I was sitting here in front of my computer screen this morning and suddenly it dawned on me that I had not done any kind of music posts in some time.

Now, I know it's a bit early for this, but each year I do a post about new Christmas/Holiday CD's that are coming out.... here is what my online snooping and searching revealed about that subject today.

Reba is issuing a new Christmas CD through Cracker Barrel.

There is a list of songs that are on the CD, but I could not find any sample listenings of the music.

Word also has it that Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will have their first Christmas duets CD out this year also!  Such great, rich voices they have.

Rascal Flatts let it slip that they will have a Christmas CD this year. Release date to be Oct. 21st.

Kacey Musgraves will be on a Christmas tour in November and December with her newest Christmas songs from a new CD also.

Chris Young is talking about a Christmas CD. Release date to be Oct. 14th.

Okay... so those are all COUNTRY music Christmas CD's.

Let's see what else is on the menu this year.

This one is from 2012, not really new, except to me perhaps, but it's some great soft tunes for Christmas sung by Roberta Flack. You remember Roberta, right?  I like the sound of this CD and it is available for download on iTunes.  

This one has also been around since 2012, but it's so lovely I simply had to include it, by Scala and Kolacny Brothers and their hit December... but the other songs are as lovely if not more so.  The entire CD is on iTunes for download.

You can listen to the CD Below.

Chris Standring and Kathrin Shorr, from 2012... Send Me Some Snow!

Oooh, Sarah McLachlan Wonderland... it's on iTunes and new for 2016!

AND, last but not least, our darling Neil Diamond will release his new Christmas CD on October
 28th.

Watch online or in stores for all of this wonderful Christmas music, some old and some new, but all are bound to give you a merrier Christmas and happy holiday season this year.

All Year Round

This little cutie pie, Sabrina Carpenter, has a new Christmas song!

I'm all about new Christmas music each year so this will be one that I purchase from iTunes asap.

Christmas The Whole Year Round by Sabrina Carpenter.

It might just be a snappy tune for riding my new exercise bike to also for those times when I just want to pedal a little bit faster.

New Christmas Music

Each year I begin my search for a few new Christmas tunes in October or early November and I search right up until Christmas is here.

If you Google New Christmas Music  usually you can find something.

Here are a few I have discovered so far, and not all of them appeal to me, but it does give you a variety to choose from.

Danny Gokey has a Christmas CD that came out in October.

It's on iTunes if you want a sampling of each tune, or find all of the songs from beginning to end on YouTube.

Here's one of Danny's tunes.

LeAnn Rimes has a new Christmas CD as well,

Her song 'Today Is Christmas' caught the love of my ears.

Here's a bit of it.

Kenny Rogers also has a new Christmas CD that was released in September.... it's never too early to start the search for new Christmas songs in my book!
Listen to his new CD HERE on Youtube.

Here is the link that lists numerous new Holiday CDs for 2015.  Not all of them have been released as of yet, but watch on iTunes in the weeks ahead for your newest favorite.

Big Beauty

So life handed you something too big and too negative.

It keeps you awake at night filling your head with sadness at times throughout the day as well.

You can turn it around by going in search of beauty.

Things that are bigger and more beautiful that will blanket any negativity and turn your sadness around.

This video proves that.
