"Oh Ven, Oh Ven Emanuel" by Jaci Velasquez
"Oh Ven, Oh Ven Emanuel" by Jaci Velasquez is from the spanish version of her Christmas album released in 2001. The album includes covers of all the classic English language Christmas tunes like "The First Noel", "White Christmas", "It Wouldn't Be Christmas", and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". The album also includes three original tracks including "The Angel Song". The album is "beautifully orchestrated with touches of traditional Christmas-style jazz and contemporary pop". Oh Ven Oh Ven Emanuel is my favorite Christmas song. Jaci Velasquez makes the song joyful and a perfect song for the holidays!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Blanca Navidad
Andrea Bocelli is a blind Italian tenor and singer-songwriter. He has 14 solo albums which were all very succesful. He has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and has won over 30 awards. He has been featured in the Guinness Book of World Record for having three of his albums be in the first, second and third spot of the US Classical Album charts. In 2006, Bocelli was named a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. He is extremely popular all around the world and even performed at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding! When getting in the Christmas spirit, make sure to listen to Andrea Bocelli's Christmas album, "Mi Navidad", which contains many Spanish and Italian versions of famous Christmas Carols. My favorite song on the album is his spin on "White Christmas" called "Blanca Navidad". It's a graceful and timeless song that makes the Christmas spirit present everytime you listen to it. I wish all of you a Merry a Christmas and a Happy New Year!
