NOTES:
"Nothing But a Child" may be the best song ever written about the birth of Jesus.

My most surprising new find amongst these holiday favorites was the Kenny Rogers version of "My Favorite Things" - though I suppose you could question how well that qualifies as "country music." Who woulda thunk I'd go for a Kenny Rogers record of ANY kind- much less a Christmas record. It's pretty good.

"If We Make It Through December" may be the best song of Merle Haggard's career, certainly one of his top 10. You could also look at it as the greatest ever sad Christmas song.

I had some of these in stock, lots of good Christmas stuff can be found at the library, and of course, you can DOWNLOAD MOST OF THEM conveniently enough.

Actually buying one or two of these artists is always nice of course. Check out the very attractively priced Ernest Tubb box set.
