Putumayo Celtic Christmas CD {48 Hour Giveaway}

I've posted frequently about my enjoyment of the Putumayo world music series and its way of bringing a little bit of the world into our home.  For the holidays, Putumayo has just released Celtic Christmas, which is a delightful album filled with folksy and even enchanting Celtic interpretations of traditional Christmas songs.

The album contains performers from Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada and the US, and has some of my favorite traditional Christmas songs, like "Good King Wenceslas", "Here We Come a Wassailing" and "O Come, O Come Emanuel."

The harmonies of the flute, harp, and mandolin in many of the songs are wistful and soothing and perfect for cozy-ing up on the couch on a cold December night.  It's as if a band of traveling troubadours has stumbled onto my front doorstep (well, not really, but my imagination is sparked in that way by the music).

Celtic Christmas would make great background music for a Christmas party, wrapping gifts, or sipping wassail while watching the Yule log on TV.  You can listen to some of the samples of the songs HERE.

I'd love to have the African Beat CD because I've been to Mali, West Africa and love the sounds they create and the energy generated from their music!

I would love "Music from the Chocolate Lands." I can just imagine popping it in and listening while savoring a cup of tea and a few squares of dark chocolate after dinner!
