Mindy Gledhill’s Winter Moon #1 on the Hill’s holiday music chart {GIVEAWAY}
While that bit of news may not be as impressive as Mindy’s “Eyes” with Kaskade ” hitting #1 on Billboard’s dance airplay chart, it is still something of note considering Harry Connick’s When My Heart Finds Christmas has been #1 on the holiday playlist for over 10 years. (I’m a classic Connick girl at heart, what can I say?)
But Winter Moon, Mindy’s new Christmas CD, is beautiful holiday music to my ears…and the only time I’ve ever played Christmas music before Thanksgiving Day.
…
…
I’m no professional music critic, but I know what I like and I really, really like Winter Moon. It boasts my favorite styles of Christmas music: spunky, dreamy, nostalgic, festive and fun.
The moment “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” hit our speakers, I started jonesing for evenings filled with holiday shopping, hot cocoa and yes, even a bit of snow. Basically Mindy created a Christmas miracle because I NEVER wish for snow.
Her voice is magical like that.
…
…
Want to hear some of that magic? You can listen to samples of Winter Moon on Amazon.com. My favorites? Well, all of them. But my most favoritest? “Patapan/O Come, O Come, Emmanual,” “Winter Moon,” “Little Soldier” and the aforementioned “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.”
After that you’ll want to buy Anchor and Feather in the Wind if you don’t already own them. Anchor is on my phone and my MP3 player. Just sayin’.
And I might even play the entire Winter Moon collection one or two more times before Thanksgiving. But don’t tell.
Now you have the best reason ever to play holiday music early:
I am giving away one copy of Mindy Gledhill’s Winter Moon!
It’s another Christmas miracle!
For your chance to win, leave a comment telling me your favorite Christmas (holiday) song. I’d share mine but I have way too many (“Ave Maria,” “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” and quite a few from Barenaked for the Holidays. I’m well rounded like that.)

Quite impressive she bumped Harry Connick’s album. The sample of Patapan sounds amazing. I love Mindy’s style. Glad I started listening to her last year when you mentioned her. I keep her on my MP3 for a little pick-me-up when the kids are driving me crazy. – Oh yes, my favorite Christmas song is Hotta Chocolata by Ella Fitzgerald.

One Christmas song? Whew. Well, if iTunes is any indicator on a favorite in our home, it would be Jingle Bells by the Barenaked Ladies quickly followed by Dr. Demento’s The Singing Dogs–Jingle Bells. We’re classy like that.
The Holly and the Berry always makes me happy. As does Mahalia Jackson’s album. of course, HC, Jr. is King of Christmas.

LOVE Mindy’s music! And how on Earth am I supposed to pick just one favorite holiday song? But since you mentioned Barenaked ladies, I will say I got to do the Sarah Mclachlan part with a group that did the Barenaked Ladies version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” a couple of years ago, and it was a total blast!

I love and adore pretty much all Christmas music (except the Christmas Shoes song, let’s not talk about that) but my most favorite song is probably In the Bleak Midwinter or the Wexford Carol. Maybe because they’re not super popular so they don’t feel overdone.
