Christmas break starts for me today, so instead of listening to Christmas songs in the car on the way to school, the radio in the kitchen is sure to be blaring the local Christian radio station all day long for the next week. What a special time of year! Really, is there such excitement at any other time of year? Well, that will probably be the topic for a future post. My last post covered my favorite a cappella Christmas songs, so as hard as it is, I will not repeat any of them... maybe. Below are my favorite Christmas songs played with a musical accompaniment... accompanyment... accompanement... er... played with instruments in the background. Sorry, too busy baking cookies to grab a dictionary. As always, feel free to debate. Hope your Christmas seaeson is full of the sounds of joy!
P.S. There are too many Trans-Siberian Orchestra songs to include on this list, so look for them in a future post between now and Christmas.
Descending order from really great to the greatest:
