Default Diana Krall's Christmas Songs
I know it's awfully early to think about Christmas music, but if you're a fan of Diana, you must get this album. I can picture myself with a glass of wine, sitting by the fire listening to this great album. I never really like all of the songs on her albums but this is an exception.

Does it have religious songs on it? I dig non-religious Christmas songs, but the ones about Jesus I can't stomach.

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome To Our World
Welcome To Our World

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome To Our World

No, thankfully. I love Diana, but I wouldn't buy an album of Jesus Christmas songs. It's got stuff like Jingle Bells, White Christmas, and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

And forget about "singers" putting their "own spin" on the songs. Ie, add new notes, sing it all different, wring it out - god, I hate that.
okay, hopefully I won't repeat this diatribe against non classical christmas music, but I can't promise anything.
I actually agree with a lot of what you said Amber...although I do like NEWER christmas songs...as long as they are well written. But, like you, I prefer the choir stuff!

What about songs that are even newer than those? The real rockin' soulful stuff like "Merry Christmas Baby" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"?

I don't care what none a y'all say, Run-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" rules.

I'll take both. One Big Crosby album, please.

I even like "Melikalikimaka." Which I'm sure is not remotely how you spell it.

Oh, gosh...you must hate jazz, then.

The religious songs just don't mean anything to me, seeing as how I'm not a Christian and all. It's like watching a Billy Graham special or something.

But you don't have to be Christian to enjoy religious Christmas music, any more than you have to believe in Welsh mythology to enjoy "Rhiannon." Yes, there are some Christmas hymns that have that Billy Graham preacher aspect, but I think a song like "Silent Night" is beautiful no matter what you believe about Jesus.

Unless it's Stevie and what's-his-face singing it, of course.

There's just too much baggage for me. The only way I can really deal with Christmas is to leave the religious stuff out of it entirely.

She's known for the smooth jazz genre isnt she?
