Did you know...that Amazon.com is giving away one free song per day from now until Dec. 25? Just click here and follow the instructions for the free song that day. (I'm so bummed; I didn't find out about this until today and I'm really sad I missed the Tori Amos song.) *Addendum: I just checked, and all of the back songs are still free. I got my Tori Amos song! I don't know if they will all be free all month long or not, so you'll have to check.
Did you know...that every Monday Karen of Kazzy's Ponderings does a Musical Monday where she sings a Christmas song? They have all been beautiful. This week, she did Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming. Last week, she did O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, which I'm pretty sure she did just for me because she loves me so much (or perhaps because I bugged her so much to do it).
Did you know...O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is my very favorite Christmas song of all time? I have 11 versions of this song alone in my holiday iTunes folder.
Did you know...while O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is my favorite Christmas song of all time, that this version of Carol of the Bells is actually my favorite Christmas song right now? (As evidenced by the 32 times it has been played in my holiday iTunes folder.)
Did you know...my most recent download of Christmas music was Jon Schmidt Christmas? It's worth it just for his version of I Saw Three Ships. I love love love it.
That's all. Now - what do you know that I don't know about Christmas music that you have to tell me about (in other words, what am I missing out on that I don't currently have)?

Love your info, lady!
FREE Christmas music! Who knew? (Oh..you did!)
The Squirrel Nut Zippers have a really great Christmas album. In case you didn't know.
I did not know any of that stuff. Thanks!!!
Oooo...thanks for all the links!
If you love Jon Schmidt you'll love the Winter's Solstice collection from the Windham Hill label. Beauteous!
Christmas Shoes..have you heard the song? it is beautiful..I posted it on my FB page. So you could listen to it..(I'm pretty sure you are my FB friend..)
Thanks for ALL of the Christmas links...I love music. It is so uplifting isn't it?:)
Free music? Free Christmas music? Bless you for telling me about it!!
My sister-in-law got the sheet music and always asks me to play that Jon Scmidt song for her. I'm not a huge fan of his...but she loves it and cuts my hair for free, so I figure it's a good trade:)
I think you've got me beat on any and all good Christmas music deals...but the Manheim Steamroller station on Pandora is really fun, if you haven't tried it out:)
I don't have anything to add, but I just read your Ethanisms and Aidanisms. (I haven't in a while. Sorry.) Those kids are hilarious!!
I can't wait to go get all of my free Christmas music!
Hey, thanks for letting me know. I'm totally checking that out. =)
Awesome. I'm so glad you told us about the Amazon. It seems I always forget the i-tunes one. I was planning on posting my favorites on my blog soon...so stay tuned:). Thanks Erin!
Free Christmas music??? Heck to the yeah!
Thank you!!! I just said to Scott yesterday..."There is something about Erin, about free song downloads. Last year. I don't know, something, go look it up on her blog from last year"
And of course I hadn't gotten around to it yet, and here you are. Yay! I'm there.
Hey, thanks for the shout out, Erin! Your cyber hugs did the trick. :) Plus, what can I say? I love to sing.
I am gonna definitely check out the itunes and amazon freebies. WooHoo!
I love love love the God rest ye merry gentlemen by the bare naked ladies. Check it out.
My favorite is O Holy Night. Beautiful!
Thanks for all the tips. I love Christmas music- especially while there is snow falling.
Did you know....folk singer Mindy Smith has a Christmas album called "My Holiday" that has a song called "Santa Will Find Yoou" that makes me cry EVERY time I hear it. That is 3 years and counting.......
I love your tips! I love holiday music and I need to go snag me some!
Lol, Amazon gave away a Boxmasters song. I went to see them in concert once.
I didn't know itunes were doing a couple free songs a week for Christmas! I'm excited.. But the always have the "free single of the week" Sometimes the songs are good.. sometimes not so much.. Its hit and miss..
Nothing like Christmas music to get you in the spirit of the season. Thanks for the links!!
Thanks for the heads up about the free Christmas music!! My husband and I look forward to it all year!
Whenever I can get internet access (which is sadly not often) I turn on the Pandora christmas station at work.
OH Holy night is my all time favorite.. Thanks, now i just need to buy a Ipod.. ugh :D
Christmas music reminds of high school concert choir and a certain dinner show we put on in the student center and Sky View High where we sang Good King Wenceslas, a song that I now love. Oh, and Carol of the Bells which was awesome.
