 | Merry Christmas by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.49 My all-time favorite. Don't let the older date fool you. Mariah's got pipes and she let's loose on this C.D. Will get you in the Christmas Mood.

 | Christmas with Boney M by Boney M.
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $6.46 You've heard Mary's Boy Child on the radio - an old Harry Belafonte hit - Harry, as in Sharis Dad. Too young to know either of them? Oh well, the song's a classic and Boney M makes it their own.
|
