NaBloPoMo Day #20... Christmas Songs, the new

I love it when a Christmas CD has some new songs on, or some songs that aren't recorded much. There are so many Christmas songs that have been done countless times. Here are some newer and unique ones I enjoy:

1) Coming Home for Christmas - Dolly Parton. She released this last year as a single. I really enjoy the song.

2) One King - David Phelps. One of the tenors of the Gaither Vocal Band, he penned this song. I love it. Has a cool line in it - there have been many babies to become a king, but only one King became a baby.

3) The Night Before Christmas - Brandon Heath. This young guy is a fairly new Christian singer. He released this single song last Christmas. I like it.

4) It's Still The Greatest Story - Gaither Vocal Band. Not too new now, recorded in the 90's, but it has not been done by anyone else that I know of, and is a great song. (And it just started playing on my Itunes as I typed this - what are the odds of that?)

5) Mary Wrapped a Present - The Hoppers. This one isn't very new either, recorded in about 1989-90, but hasn't been done by many artists and is a personal favorite of mine.

6) Reason for the Season - Lonestar. I don't know of anyone else recording this one either, and I love the song.

7) New Star Shining - I have heard a few different artists do this one, but I think Mark Wills does it best. A cool song.

8) Immanuel - Michael Card. I think this was an original with him. Awesome song.

9) It's Christmas - Ronnie Milsap. His Christmas CD has been around for a while now, but this is a song I never heard by anyone else, and it is a good one.

10) I Have Seen The Light - Integrity/Triumphant Quartet - awesome newer song, also done by Gold City, but Integrity did it best. They changed their name to Triumphant later.
