Is it too early...

...to be getting excited about Christmas? If you've been a reader of my blog for any length of time, you know that Christmas is my most favorite time of the year! I love that it represents Christ's birth and reminds us that He is the one who gets all of our glory! I love the sights, the smells, the sounds, the shopping, the baking, and all of the family traditions that come along with the holiday season. (If I'm being completely honest, as I type, I currently have my oil burner burning the scent "Winter" from Bath and Body Works!) I'm so ready for it to get here!

I recently found out that there are four new Christmas Albums coming out (or are already out) that I cannot wait to get my hands on. In no particular order, here they are.

Kristin Chenoweth plays the role of Glenda, the Good Witch, in the original cast of the Broadway musical, Wicked. She has an amazing voice and has added some great new tracks to her Christmas Album, "A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas." I am so excited about this one!

Released on October 14th was Shane and Shane's first-ever Christmas Album, "Glory in the Highest: A Christmas Record." The album includes eight classic Christmas favorites and three original songs. iTunes, here I come!

Casting Crowns, released their Christmas album, "Peace on Earth," on October 7th! It's available on iTunes and has several traditional Christmas favorite songs! Click here for more information on this wonderful album!

I cannot wait for the release of this album! Harry Connick, Jr. is coming out with another Christmas album on November 4th! It is his first full-album release since 2007 and plans to make several appearances to promote, "What a Night! - A Christmas Album," including the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on December 3rd.

And while Josh Groban's Christmas Album, "Noel," isn't a new release, I somehow managed to let this chart-topping album slip through my holiday collection. I'll be adding this one to my wish list!
