Whatever style of music you listen to, there is a Christmas music CD for you!
If you are searching for a special Christmas song or album, I hope this lens helps you find a source!
As a true Christmas music fan, one who loves not only the remakes of famous songs but the original versions by the original artists, make sure that you do not miss the Youtube videos included below. Some of them include video clips of the original artists singing the songs...the fact that this technology is available is amazing and seeing the real, original clips is, in my opinion, something that no true Christmas fan would want to miss.
If you are in the market for Christmas music, make sure to check the wide selection of new and pre-owned CDs that I have available in my eBay store's Christmas music section at Treasures By Brenda.

Christmas 2008 -- Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters
Click here to buy Christmas Cheer from Amazon
$17.98
Thornton says of these songs: "One of them is called "Slower Than Christmas." It's about a guy-you know everybody talks about Christmas and Christmas Day as such an amazing time-and this guy's talking about how Christmas is the slowest day of the year 'cause he's in this horrible dysfunctional family. It's kind of like a "Bad Santa" Christmas song I guess you'd say. And then there's another one we have called "I Won't Be Home for Christmas" that's about a guy in jail. The other one's about a kid who wonders why every year at Christmas it just so happens that all these things happen with his parents and Santa doesn't show up either. And then by the end of the song you realize he's figured it out-he knows that mom and dad's troubles are the reason that he doesn't get anything-that they are Santa. So they're all sad, basically (laughs)."

I love Christmas music - but everything has an appropriate time and place. December and after is the time for Christmas music. I have heard it in UK stores from October, and this conveys a sense of desperation.

Not until the day after Thanksgiving, when the stores open. Also, any radio station that plays Christmas music should refrain from doing so until midnight Thanksgiving night. They can, however, play religious, patriotic & inspirational songs on Thanksgiving Day itself.
