Christmas time is here! It’s time to bust out the Christmas cds and annoy everyone with your holiday cheer. Here are a few of my favorite Christmas cds.

1. Diana Krall – Christmas Songs – If you’re into Jazz, maybe this isn’t for you. But if you’re into Diana Krall, this is a great cd.
2. James Taylor at Christmas – Sometimes I just feel like listening to music my hippie parents would listen to. Not nearly as sexy as Diana Krall, but nice and smooth anyway.
3. Harry Connick Jr. When My Heart Finds Christmas – I think this guy has several other Christmas albums. This is the only one I have or have listened to.
4. Gary Hoey Ho! Ho! Hoey: The Complete Collection – Rock and roll! This is Christmas music played on electric guitar. Maybe it’s a little cheesy. But isn’t all Christmas music a little cheesy. Christmas is a time for cheese.
5. Merry Axemas – A Guitar Christmas – This is another rocking cd with Satriani, Eric Johnson, Brian Setzer and other famous guitarists playing Christmas tunes.

Yep, my collection is small and doesn’t have all those annoying songs from Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Charlie Brown or any of those other people you’re supposed to enjoy listening to on Christmas.

Are there any other good Christmas cds I should be listening to?
