Over the past couple weeks or so, I’ve been able to listen to some of the latest Christmas albums that are out this year. The CD’s listed below are ones that I have enjoyed so far. Those who know me and my musical taste might be surprised by the selection. Nevertheless, I encourage you to purchase all of these wonderful CD’s . . . you won’t be disappointed!

Tennessee Christmas
By Point of Grace / Word Music

Point of Grace returns with a new Christmas CD. Feature favorites from Christmas Story and last year’s magnificent Winter Wonderland. Features their classic, and dare I say, angelic harmony.


Winter Wonderland
By Point of Grace / Word Entertainment

Although this came out last year, I still highly recommend this CD! I had never heard Point of Grace before listening to this CD, but when I did listen, I was blown away. There are few artists out there whose vocal harmony and singing quality can be called heavenly, and Point of Grace is one of them. The precision is flawless and the blend is seamless. Songs include “Jingle Bells,” “All Is Well,” “Santa Medley,” “Breath of Heaven,” and “Let There Be Light.”

Peace On Earth CD
By Casting Crowns / Provident Music Distribution

Casting Crowns, one of Christian music’s most popular artists and winners of a Grammy and Dove Award, offer their musical interpretation to a variety of Christmas carols and classics. Songs include, “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night,” “While You Were Sleeping,” “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” and “Away in a Manger.”

Home for Christmas
By BarlowGirl / Fervent Records

The three Barlow sisters, known for their ability to rock, offer tight harmonies and excellent instrumentation in their rendition of Christmas classics and carols such as “Carol of the Bells,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and more. Includes one original song.

Glory In The Highest: A Christmas Album
By Shane & Shane / Inpop

Shane & Shane add their unique flavor to a collection of Christmas classics and three original songs, including “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and “O Holy Night.” The harmony is combined with a jazz/pop blend that creates a beautiful sound.
