LIFE 100.3 is wall-to-wall Christmas all week so we'll hear lots of chimes and sleigh bells to remind us of this season that focuses on the birth of the Lord, family and friends, turkey and presents."I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by All Star United came out a compilation CD "Happy CHristmas Volume 2". There's also a killer version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" that you gotta hear to believe! Here's a reason to not judge a record by its chessy cover!
One of my favourite Christmas carols is by Relient K - "The 12 Days Of Christmas". The same carol we all know off by heart but Relient K has recharged it with exciting power chords in just the right places!
Admittedly some Christmas songs are just plain cheesy. I think that's only because they're out of date. Probably in their day, they were full of life. But, many artists have put their own personality into those Christmas standards, and that makes the old carols sound fresh.
"Christmas, Baby Please Come Home" either by Anberlin or U2 would be near the top of my list. "Hot Christmas" came out in 1992 by Eric Champion. You won't find it in the stores, not even in the discount bin, but you can still order it on line. I think he named it
"Hot Christmas" because he lives in Florida. Eric's probably never seen snow!This year To Tell released "Here Comes Christmas" - no album, just the single release you can get thru iTunes.
