I second Mannheim Steamroller and add Trans Siberian Orchestra.




Not fond of opera but I love her voice and this song.

Manheim Steamroller and contemporary Christian Christmas music. The message channel 63 on Sirius XM. I have Apple Music and large Xmas playlist. I love being on the back porch Christmas night listening to music and if it is a clear sky it is awesome with the stars.

Mary Did You Know ?, Mark Lowry
What Child Is This ?
There's A Star In The Sky

Our family are/were believers in Christ; Mom marched to her own drummer. Arose around 5 am, Christmas morning, awoke the family to John Philip Sousa's, Stars and Strips march.
Loud enough to bring down the 2 story house !

Thanks for the memory !

Mannheim Steamroller and Trans Siberian Orchestra are both phenomenal. I especially like Christmas in Sarajevo since I spent one there.

These days though, for pure musical pleasure, the a Capella group Home Free is pure eargasim material. Their version of Do You Hear what I Hear is unparalleled. Mary did you know is new from them this year and is spectacular.

I love their fun stuff too like Christmas Full of Cheer.

Pentatonix is another good group with some excellent work, but Home Free always gives me goose bumps.

Quite a feat as I'm not a fan of the commercial Christmas.

White Christmas/Bing Crosby is my favorite, and also one of my favorite movies. I recently read about the 'back story' of this song.
