Even though we haven't made it through Halloween yet, October sees a whole slew of Christmas albums being released! I don't know about you, but I LOVE Christmas music. Sarah Mclachlan released a great Christmas album a few years back that I really liked...and when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure I drove my family nuts with the Chipmunk's Christmas album on repeat. Honestly, if I played my old Chipmunk's Christmas casette today, I'm proud to say that I would probably still be able to sing along ;) THAT's how much I listened to that baby!! (and this is totally random...but I was also rocking the Chipmunk's rock album year round...I guess I just loved the Chipmunks A LOT when I was little!)

Here's a list of some of the most popular Christmas albums coming out this month (with a few sneaking in from Sept. and Nov. that I felt were worth mentioning)...is your favorite artist releasing one? And what is your most favorite Christmas album of ALL time!? Let me know!
