Advent is more than half over... I'm not quite done with our shopping and I still have some projects I'm working on. But I'm getting there. We finally got our Advent/Christmas music out of the attic and to have it on in the background has helped me stay motivated!
Here's a quick look at some of the classical and choral Christmas music we've been loving lately and then, at the very bottom... the Happy Handmade Christmas Giveaway winners are announced!
(Starts with a beautiful version Veni,Veni, Emmanuel)
(fun and funny to hear holiday favorites played in the style of Mozart's string quartets!)
(This one is especially beautiful if you like to play music for kiddos at bed time. The boys love to listen to this falling asleep :) )
John Rutter: Music for Christmas
Well, seeing that everything Rutter writes is beautiful, this CD is... beautiful!
Classical Kids Christmas
We really love this unique CD. I mean have you ever heard any other Christmas CD that weaves the Huron Carol into a holiday story for children?? (don't you just love the Huron Carol?!?! In excelsis gloria!)
