Glory In the Highest, Chris Tomlin

Getting into the Christmas spirit, I grabbed Chris Tomlin's '09 Christmas cd "Glory in the Highest" off the Special Deals rack at my local Lifeway for only $5. I am so glad I did that. This may become my second favorite Christmas album.

-

And that's surprising because it is the exact opposite of my all-time favorite Christmas album, Wayne Watson's "One Christmas Eve."

-

Tomlin's cd is:

• worshipful
• reverent
• alternately solemn and celebratory
• quiet, mellow, calming & serene

For a Sit by the fire, Love on Your Family, Draw Close to God type of Christmas, which I think is exactly where my heart is at right now.

-

Watson's cd is

• energetic & peppy
• worshipful
• fun (Angel Medley!!)

For a Frolic In the Snow, Ride a Hay Wagon, Go Caroling type of Christmas.

-

How to explain? {taps finger on chin} I know:

-

Tomlin's Christmas cd is an Introvert, Watson's is an extrovert.
