Re: Links to Favorite Christmas Songs
Thanks so much for the gift of this thread, Paula. Christmas music can be very soothing to the soul.
I am a big fan of Celtic Woman, and am getting tickets to their Seattle concert in June.
Here is a link to their web site, and they have several albums of Christmas music to offer.
