Top 10 Tracks I'm Digging Right Now
For the first time ever in my life, I cut down a fresh Christmas tree this weekend. Well, technically I didn't do the cutting. My husband did that. But I wandered up and down the rows of trees searching for the perfect tree. He was in charge of the saw, the bailing and the ropes to tie it to the top of the car. The kids were in charge of fighting over which tree was THE tree. And I was in charge of the music to get us there and back and in the mood for the holidays. So this is the list of music I put together. Some is old, some is new. Some is religious, some is not. But it's a nice well-rounded country list that I can't stop listening to even though our little road trip is over and the tree is all lit up and fully ornamented.
"Blame It On the Mistletoe," Toby Keith
"Please Come Home for Christmas," Keith Anderson
"All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan" Kenny Chesney
"Baby Jesus Is Born," Garth Brooks
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," Garth Brooks
"Old Toy Trains," Joe Nichols
"Grown Up Christmas List," Rodney Carrington
"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," Sugarland
"O Holy Night," Gary Allan
"Santa's On His Way," George Strait

I find nothing well rounded about you at all. Including this list.

Granna says:
I love, love Sugarland’s version of O Come, O Come Emmanuel!! One of my very favorites. I just heard Montgomery Gentry’s Merry Christmas From the Family and I laughed my head off again. Every year, I love hearing this song! Oh, I love Carrie, so I will be watching. Can’t wait to hear her and Dolly sing together.
Taylor says:
I love every song on Sugarland’s new CD, especially O Come O Come Emmanuel! Great year, guys!
Dave says:
Merry Christmas From the Family is by Robert Earl Keen. MG merely covered it, and changed the words to play it safe. Didn’t want to offend anyone, of course.
