This was a week mostly dominated by sickness. A mild bug has made its way through the kids and Steffani. It has missed me… so far, but I’m sure my time is coming 😅. The recommendations are a bit limited as a result. Side note, I never intended this roundup to be so dominated by music. Especially Christmas music, but there has been some solid new releases and my Christmas playlist was feeling a bit stale so I’ve been excited to add new music to the list!

  • My first recommendation is Brad Paisley’s new album. It’s been a long time since he has released any music and his last album was pretty meh for me. I love to see his songwriting humor shine through. I was smiling from start to finish on my first listen through. My favorites are the more sentimental tracks of Snow Globe Town, The First Noel and O Holy Night.
  • My favorite Christmas album in a long time comes from The Corner Room however. Their whole “thing” is to set the Scripture to music, and they’ve been doing it for years. The latest album follows their continued excellence. Every song is a great listen with my favorite being John 8:12.
