Macgirl Media Pick of the Week: Holiday Picks: A Very Special Christmas

A Very Special Christmas was created as a charity fundraiser for the Special Oylmpics in 1987. It features such heavyweights as U2 (Christmas(Baby, Please Come Home)) and Run DMC (Christmas in Hollis).  There have been five sequals to this gem, but the first is by far the best.

I can remember listening to this album (on a shiney new CD!) in the late 80's and feeling so cool.  Maybe I was cool because all 12-year-olds think they are sooo cool.  Or maybe, it was the cool music.  This is still the best Christmas album created during my lifetime.  The songs still hold up, I still get weepy listening to Stevie Nicks singing Silent Night, and I still feel cool listening to it.  Well, about as cool as a 12 year old can feel...

If you don't own this album, definately check it out.  Here's a link to it on iTunes, or you can order the CD from Amazon here.  Or, ask your big brother or sister to borrow it.  I'm SURE they still have a copy...I still have mine!
