Merry Christmas...

... to all of you music fans out there! And everyone else as well!

This year, as one of my many resolutions (you know, the ones that hopefully will not be broken) I am taking the advice of my former Journalism II teacher,Dan Kennedy, and making more of a commitment to this blog. And as a homage to my next co-op job starting Jan. 5, 2009 as an editorial intern at Billboard Magazine, I have decided to make this an interactive music blog.

I have decided to start with some new Christmas albums. As my mother, her boyfriend Allen and I decorated the tree, drank eggnog and ate s'mores fresh from the fireplace (a new tradition!) we listened to some of the Christmas albums we have collected over the years. My personal favorite is 8 Days of Christmas by Destiny's Child, but we have others. What are your favorites?

Here is a list, according to About.com, of 10 New Pop Christmas albums.

In the next few days I will post some albums I have been reviewing, as well as my top 5 albums for the year of 2008. Until then, Merry Christmas!
