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.
