1. The Bells of Dublin/Christmas Eve (The Chieftains) – “Bells of Dublin”
2. Christmas Song (Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds) – “A Very Special Christmas 3”

15. Just Like Me (Vanessa Williams) – Yet another from “A Very Special Charlie Brown Holiday Collection”.
For my special “holiday edition” of iPod Roulette, I decided to bend the rules just a bit. It amazed me that with 275 songs to choose from it “randomly” selected four from the same album (The Chieftains). So…. unless the song was by a different artist, I skipped to the next song when there was a repeat. There were so many good artists that didn’t get played in this round, but hey… there’s still plenty of time for holiday music!

TNT had a special on this week, "Christmas in Washington." The group Casting Crowns did a rendion of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day," a Christmas song I have never particularly cared for. Their version of it, however, was beautiful.
In my opinion there is no such thing as bad Christmas music. LOL! I love the season and the music, even the corny and bad.
"O Holy Night" and "The Prayer" are high on my list, as is "Ava Maria"
Might disagree w/ you just a speck, Pam . . . I just cannot do "Little Drummer Boy" and am not much on "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Sorry . . .
But "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer?" I am totally there!!!!
There are definitely some songs (often depending on who is performing it) I like better than others.
FYI, Bob, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is one of my very favorite Christmas songs!! I like "Little Drummer Boy", too, especially Mandisa's version which I got to hear live a few weeks ago.
So sorry . . . don't know why those just don't do it for me. Nothing personal . . . :-)
I bought Josh Groban's "Noel" last year and didn't even need to buy another XMas CD this year. His "What Child Is This?" was spectacular.
This was another great, eclectic list, Kel!
