Putumayo, the parent company behind one of my favorite children’s music production companies, Putumayo Kids, has just released a fantastic cd that is absolutely perfect for your holiday parties, for listening to while wrapping presents, or for just having on in the background while you relax and enjoy the holiday season. It’s called Celtic Christmas, and it is delightful!
The music on this cd doesn’t have any lyrics, and I really like that; the music itself has the opportunity to shine! Don’t just take my word for how great the cd is, though. Have a listen for yourself here! My personal favorite is O Come, O Come Emmanuel. What a gorgeous rendition!
Buy it!: Celtic Christmas is available for $14.98 and would make a wonderful addition to your holiday music collection.
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win your own copy of Celtic Christmas! 🙂

I’m baking a lot this holiday season.
Well, we just spent a week out of town for Thanksgiving, so I’m very much looking forward to staying home for Christmas and doing lots of baking! The best part is my two older kids will be home from college for a whole month!
Angels we have heard on high is my favorite from the cd.
I am going to hang some mistletoe over the front door and get as many kisses from my hubby as I can!
We are going to go on the train to Philadelphia during the Christmas season. Thought it would be fun to go to the big city.
We have plans to help out at St. Micheals kitchen next week and also in 2 weeks again.
we love to bake all kinds of goodies christmas eve and give them out to friends and family
This year we will be celebrating Christmas in January . this will be when everyone in our family will be home for our Christmas. Our tree will be up a little longer this year.
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
My IL are not feeling well, and so we are planning a really low-key relaxing Christmas this year. Focusing on family and being together!

We go to my relatives for the holidays.
I like them all.. but you asked, so it will be God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
My Hubby and I, along with our two hounds… a beagle and a basset, celebrate Christmas around the world tradition. One year it was Germany’s Traditional Christmas meal with some decorations handmade by me. Last year it was Italy’s turn and we had chosen Sicilian because of seafood. This year we are doing Greece with a leg of lamb. I am busy getting the handmade decorations finished!
We have been doing this tradition ever since we married… ten years now!
just me and the husband and kid at home for dinner and presents.
I like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
No real plans for Christmas, but I will be glad to be done with my Bachelors degree and not stressing out about exams!
My eldest is having us all over for xmas for the first time. I don’t have to host…just bring a dish…yahooooooo!

Our holiday plans consist of baking cookies for the elderly, going thru old toys to give to charity and spending time with family and friends.
No real big plans
We go out with friends every year and look at the Plaza (Kansas City) lights and then find a new neighborhood display to enjoy.
We usually have a christmas eve get together
I have a company holiday party early in December, then our daughter’s Christmas concernt, then we meet up with my husband’s family on Christmas day.
My favorite is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (couldn’t find comments on the page…)
Will have Christmas morning at home and then travel to my parents’ house to celebrate with them, my sister & niece, and my brother & sis-in-law.
We are excited because this Christmas the whole family will be together from different states. It will be so wonderful to have everyone under the same roof again.

I like Joy to the World.
I’m going to spend Christmas with my family in S. Carolina.
I thought “Áine Minogue – Manx Jezebel Carol” was lovely.
I plan on keeping this holiday season very simple–focusing more on crafts and family then pressies. Fingers crossed!
I like the song Noel Nouvelet.
Holiday fun for me and my daughters includes down-time doing crafts, knitting and making homemade gifts.
Thanks for the chance to win this CD!
We’re looking forward to holidays with the family and lots of good food
My daughters and I are learning to cook together and we have collected lots of good sounding things. We picked this time to try our hand at the kitchen!
Little Drummer Girl! That’s a new one 🙂
We’re hosting Christmas at our house as usual this year–we put up most of the decorations last night. I’m so proud of us! I thought it would take us longer to get motivated 🙂
Try to fit it all in – Caroling with the girl scouts, Christmas parties, cookie baking, friends and family. Why can’t Christmas last longer!?
I’m excited about the white elephant game we play – it’s always fun
We get to visit our son and daughter and their families.
no fun here, just staying home again
Spent thanksgiving in CT, spending Christmas in ME, CT, and NY!

I’m hosting the family cookie baking party this year! I’m really looking forward to having all the women in the family over.
I like little Drummer girl.
Probably just a small family gathering, but it will be in my new farm house, for Christmas at least.
Fav song is Angels we have heard on high! tracietrump@yahoo.com
Plan to decorate gingerbread houses with my nieces! tracietrump@yahoo.com
i love “angels we have heard on high”. and think, “the little drummer girl” is cute
hi; i had planned to spend thanksgiving w/my niece and her fam until i came up sick today. hence, why i am sitting at the computer at 2 a.m. hopefully, Christmas will be much better. We are going to be at home together for the first time in a long time. Hope your fam will have a fantabulous holiday
We have a newborn this Christmas (YAY!) so we’ll be spending a lot of time at home, seeing everything in a new light. If she’s anything like the previous kids, we’ll spend a lot of time gazing at the Christmas lights on the tree. 🙂
We live 2000 miles away from family this year. We are having friends come over for an appetizer party before Christmas. Then do our own thing Christmas day.
i can’t wait until we go to the tree farm to get our christmas tree, decorating the tree has always been one of my favorite things about Christmas. Then Christmas eve all my family will be over to my house and my mom with pass out the annual christmas pajamas for everyone
I like DruidStone.
We are spending Thanksgiving with my parents. And then traveling to Michigan from Texas to spend it with my brother and the in-laws. It will be fun to show my son snow for the first time.
I like Auld Lang Syne.
I wish I had something fun to tell you – at this point, we are doing nothing and going nowhere.
we vow to have a simple stay at home Christmas this year – shopping is already taken care of, we’re just going to enjoy the season simply and frugally!
im giving gifts to my new friends
My holiday plans are to let family cook all the food and let me rest! This first trimester is kicking my rear.
My favourite song from the album is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

We are having my stepson visit from out of state. Should be a lot of fun! 🙂
My plans involve co hosting on thanskgiving, sleeping on Black friday, and enjoying a great Christmas eve party with friends and fam! 🙂
I also love O Come O Come Emmanuel
We usually have a light dinner on Christmas Eve, go to church, come home and open one present. Then the next morning we open presents, and have dinner later on at my mom’s house.
My favorite song on the album is: O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
My husband are retired school teachers who are also empty nesters. The best part about our holidays is that the kids come home. One from 3 hours away, the other from 3 states away.
Lillte Drummer Girl sounds interesting.
I just want to spend as much time with my kids as possible!
This year our family won’t all be together for Thanksgiving. It will be different. Then for Christmas they are traveling out of state to be with her inlaws. Usually tradition has it though that we all get together for lunch on the holidays.

Little Drummer Girl sounds interesting!
There are so many fun plans unfolding this year. My little family will be characters in the live nativity at Church. We are going to be meeting up with friends to go through the walking light display at the park. There is a Christmas parade coming up soon that features Mr. and Mrs. Claus. I just adore this time of year and all the happy happenings.
I’m going to my relatives – I haven’t seen them all year!
Lots of food, family, and presents!
We are trying to take the kids up North so they can see snow for the first time.
Dinner at my brother’s new house!! 🙂 We’re all excited for introducing some new traditions this year!
We’ll have the whole family over on Christmas Eve…We usually serve lots of cookies and appetizers. It’s always fun…and we end the night with all the kids getting a new pair of winter pj’s.
Angels We Have Heard on High == It’s one of my favorite carols.
We have a baby due 5 days after Christmas! My husband has a couple of days off, and my parents and sisters are going to come visit us so we can all celebrate together.
I like the Noel Nouvelet. rsgrandinetti@yahoo(dot)com
We’re hosting my husbands family on Christmas Eve (35 – 40 people) and my side of the family on Christmas Day (only 11 people).

I love Little Drummer Girl!
Holidays are spent at my parents house & my grandma’s house. My husband’s parents are always out of state for the holidays, so my family always wins by default. 🙂 Holidays are so much less stressful when we don’t have to drive all over the state! We go to Grandma’s Christmas Eve and spend the rest of the time with my parents.
my holiday plans include spending time with my kids! My twin “babies” will be one and my toddler….that should keep me busy!
I like the song “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”
We have a lot of same plan as last year…fire department Christmas party, cookie exchange, church Christmas program, lighted Christmas parade and this year my daughter will be dancing (tap) at the nursing home. Plus the usual visiting family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 🙂
