I'm not good about doing them regularly, but I have an idea for a staff picks column
3 favorite holiday albums. 2 or 3 picks, 2 or three sentences of description each.
email me at [email protected] with your stuff, and I'll put it up in a week or two. Or something.

Like, favourite holiday songs, or what?
-
like, albums to just plug in and listen to.
Here's an example of what I'm looking for (http://www.timewastersguide.com/view.php?id=777). We're doing the same thing as that article, but we're limiting the choice of albums to only those consisting of primarily holiday music.

I don't know that I own 3 holiday albums.
I've got a Loreena McKennitt one, a MoTab one, and maybe some cheesy New Age ones (given to me) that I don't listen to.
And my tapes are at home, Alack. When are you thinking of putting this up?

You don't have to own them, just like them.
on a friday some time before Christmas
I'm having a hard time narrowing it down
I know John Denver and the Muppets are on it
but for 2 and 3 I've got four albums I'm tossing around: Jimmy Buffet's Christmas Island, a Mason Williams album, Harry Connick, Jr., and Ella Fitzgerald Wishes You a Swinging Christmas. No where is the diversity of my tastes in music more evident than in my holiday music.

Loreena McKennitt's Christmas album is definitely my favourite. Unfortunately, I don't know too many others.
Maybe I should get out the MoTab album and decide I like it...
-
BNL's holiday album. Everything from the sweet and serious, to a giggle-worthy version of "Happy Birthday" sung to Jesus.

Oh, my gosh, I love that album! It's a holiday tradition in my family to play it and it brings me back to being a kid every time I listen to it. Yea for Christmas and traditions!
