Barry Manilow (2 Christmas Albums)

Ho.. Ho.. Ho.. these are my all time fav Christmas albums! I'm saving it until now, when it's really close to christmas, and this album would be so perfect to listen right now. ;)

The first album, Because It's Christmas, was from 1990. This one is the softer side of Christmas, perhaps one of the most peaceful one ever. Barry's voice captured all the magic of Christmas, and will pour it into our home, anytime you listen to it. Try to close your eyes, and listen to this, you'll feel peaceful and joyful at the same time. This one is a classic. My favorite pick is The Bells Of Christmas, for its sweet, romantic and smooth style.. such an everlasting song.

The second one, is a fully orchestrated christmas, swingy in the tradition of Bing Crosby's or Sinatra's. This album will bring you right away to a Broadway-ish Christmas, and yes, it's glorious. Great renditions, so refreshing, shiny and bright.

So.. both are FULLY RECOMMENDED. May you have the most wonderful christmas ever with these classics. ;)
