Some years we are either too busy, too nerved up, or too down to really feel the Christmas spirit. If you need a little help this year, for whatever, reason, here are some ideas to give you a brief time of peace or joy as we remember the true gift of Christmas, our savior Jesus Christ.
Five Christmas Music Specials
1. Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith
2. A Story of the First Christmas with The Chosen (includes the short film, The Shepherd)

4. Christmas on Broadway with CeCe Winans
5. Gaither Christmas Sing-A-Long
Five Christmas Songs

- O Come O Come Emmanuel with For King and Country and Needtobreathe
- O Holy Night by David Phelps (the only version you ever need to hear)

- It’s Beginning to Look A Like Christmas by Michael Buble
- Amy Grant, Breath of Heaven
Three-Christmas Themed Programs (or old specials)
1. A Walton’s Christmas
2. A Garfield Christmas
3. The Berenstain Bears Christmas
Bonus: one movie
The Bishop’s Wife. This is a heartwarming tale of a Anglican Bishop who has become so obsessed building a Cathedral that he has lost sight of what is really important in life, including his wife and daughter. Enter Cary Grant, playing an angel, who wants to get the bishop back on track again before he loses everything.
I’m always up for anything with Michael W. Smith – have seen him in concert twice and he never disappoints. Also love listening to For King and Country. And Michael Buble?? Yes, please! Also saw him in concert — amazing and so personable to his audience.

It’s been years since I’ve been to a concert but I saw Michael when I was in high school and he was great! I’ve listened to his music so long I feel like I know him personally.
