I grew up in church my whole life and gospel and christian music have been apart of my family since I was born. I grew up singing in my children's choir and adult choir in church. My mom sings and plays the piano and both of my sisters sing. It's always been a huge part of who we are. In my teenage years and after, I fell away from Christian music and didn't think much of it. In the last year I have recently found my way back and I can't believe I ever stopped listening to it. I had forgotten how wonderfully amazing it is. It just makes me feel GOOD. If I'm bummed or upset all I have to do is turn my radio on Way FM or pop in a Selah, Sanctus Real or Third Day cd, just to name a few. I stopped in our local Family Christian Bookstore today for a Beth Moore Bible Study and came out with two cd's. Even if you don't have a close relationship with Christ and have been pushing him away or have never heard of the wonderful love of Christ, I highly recommend purchasing the new WOW 2011 cd. The music on it is incredible. Also, for the holiday season I recommend O Holy Night by David Phelps. It will bring tears to your eyes, make you smile and give you chills! It's a great deal too. Not only do you get a cd but you get a dvd as well!
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. Psalms 33:1-4
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalms 95:1-2
I really love traditional christmas music also. If you have time, I'd love you to listen to the version of "O Holy Night" I just recorded. I'm offering it as a free download. Let me know what you think & Merry Xmas to you.

I agree with listing to Christian music! Ever since I've been going to your church (which I LOVE by the way! Lol) I stopped listing to 107.5 the river and started listing to the fish, right now they are only playing Christmas music!!! And I feel better!
