This month, I tried a few different Christmas albums. These were the only ones I could get my hands on from the library before Christmas actually arrived. There about a dozen others that I'll have to look for next year. Or, I suppose, in January if I don't feel peculiar about listening to Christmas music off season.

( Baez, Joan. Noel )

( Belafonte, Harry. To Wish You a Merry Christmas )

( Christmas the Mountain Way )

( Denver, John. Christmas Celebration Concert )

( Denver, John. Rocky Mountain Christmas )

( Now That's What I Call Christmas! 3 )

( Ronstadt, Linda. A Merry Little Christmas )

( Ultimate Motown Christmas Collection )

A number of these, I forgot to write up immediately, and they didn't stick in my memory enough for me to have anything to say after the fact, good or bad. That means there are quite a few titles with no comments. I didn't like any of those well enough to put them on my Amazon wishlist, but I also don't remember outright hating any of them.
