Christmas Songs I Like \\ a variety

Hey guys! My last leading-up-to Christmas post, and I'm going to share some Christmas songs that I like. ^___^ I wouldn't say these are all my "favorite" or anything- I just gathered up some nice ones for this post. *winks*

Normally, the "classic" Christmas songs are my favorite. The others don't feel much like Christmas, really. It must be a sentimental thing... the songs I grew up hearing (or pretty much always knew) are the ones I like best. Makes sense. However, there still are new Christmas songs that I like. *smiles*

CLASSICS

Silent Night (Alan Jackson)

Mary Did You Know (Scotty McCreery)

The First Noel (Scotty McCreery)

Oh Come All Ye Faithful (Moriah Peters)

Let it be Christmas (Alan Jackson)

This is kinda one of those "sentimental" songs for me, I guess. *smiles* One I probably grew up hearing, since we have the CD... I'm not sure if it works anymore? ;P The Silent Night one is on the same CD.

CONTEMPORARY

Glorious by For King and Country

Mistletoe (The Christmas Sweater Song) 

by Tenth Avenue North

The First Christmas by Tenth Avenue North

These last two are like, fun Christmas songs. *grins* They're from Tenth Avenue North's Decade the Hall Christmas album, which is Christmas songs themed from 1920's to, pretty much, nowdays. 

Here, watch the preview for it, because it's funny. ;P

I think Mistletoe is supposed to be 2000's, and The First Christmas, the 50's. It's Elvis-style. *winks and laughs*

So yes, some nice Christmas songs. :)

Christmas is only two days away! I'm looking forward to gathering with friends and going to the candlelight service tonight (we're going Christmas Eve Eve this time, *winks*). And I believe we might be opening the gifts we have tomorrow, on Christmas Eve, and just having a family day. On Christmas Day, we'll open stockings, and get together with family. I think we usually do our get-together on Christmas Eve, but I guess we're changing it up this year. Christmas time is coming! ^___^

WHICH OF THESE SONGS DID YOU LIKE BEST (of those you listened to, if any)? WHAT ARE SOME CHRISTMAS SONGS YOU LIKE? WHAT ARE YOUR CHRISTMAS PLANS?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Seeing Tenth Avenue North Live

Hey guys! In October I went to my first Christian pop concert, featuring Tenth Avenue North! *grins* That's what I'm talking about today, because it obviously deserves a post of it's own- seeing popular Christian artists, great photo opportunities, and just the adventure of it, you know. *winks*

So, how did my parents, my sister, last minute buying VIP tickets to a concert the night before it was happening? The answer to this question: my sister. Yep. Tenth Avenue North is her hero band, and she wanted to go so bad, that we went. I lucked out and got to go too. *grins*

So we were off on a musical adventure! Here's a bit about it, featuring my photography. *winks*

We arrived in the town the concert would take place, found where it was going to be, and went to grab something to eat. I got a grilled chicken sandwich. :)

Then we headed over! My mom took a picture of my dad, sister, and I in front the Tenth Avenue North's tour bus... but I cropped them out, because I probably shouldn't put them on here... personal family privacy reasons, you know. *winks* 

It was pretty packed in the entrance- they might've been setting up the merchandise tables still? Anyhow, we stood near the door for a bit, until they at last ushered us into the concert area to sit down. We were VIP, so we got to be there for a Q&A and acoustic set and stuff. :) Plus we got like, third row seats. *grins* So yea, this is Tenth Avenue North performing their song Beloved. It's a really lovely song. :) 

There were two other guys at this concert. Jon McLaughlin performed first. I hadn't known him before this, but he's really good on the piano. Beautiful Disaster is a really nice song of his. Then it was Brandon Heath's turn, and I do know him. *winks* These pictures were when Jon came out and played for one of Brandon's songs.

Snacks. *grins* 

Then it was Tenth Avenue North's turn, which was definitely my favorite part. ^___^ They really are a great band- they have a lot of good songs.

Here's the lead singer, Mike, in the crowd. He came down the isle right by us- I was sitting farther in, so I didn't get a high-five from him. *winks* Too bad. He's a pretty cool guy. He's pretty funny and full of life, but you can also tell he has a heart for God. Really cool to see. :)

That drummer there is Jason.

This guys name is Jeff.

Most of my pictures are of Mike, but he was the most visible, after all. I don't think I could've got that good of picture of the other guys very often.

They performed for quite a while, and it was great! ^___^ I had a lovely time, and my sister was in fluffy-cloud-land, I think. xD 

But eventually, it did end... as all things do. ;)

Tenth Avenue North's merchandise table

Sadly, we didn't get a picture with any of them. Tenth Avenue North didn't come out. The other guys were, but we didn't get to hang around long enough. We did walk by Reuben, fromTenth Avenue North, though. Out on the sidewalk. *grins* I just looked at him. ;P

Anyhow, it was a great first Christian pop concert experience, and I hope to go to more! *grins*

EVER BEEN TO A CONCERT? IF SO, WHOSE WAS IT? FAVORITE PICTURE? DO YOU KNOW ANY OF THESE ARTISTS?
