As part of the 2006 Holiday Guide, we at Rikks Revues have decided to incorporate the Year End best of 2006, this way you can see what was hot in 2006 according to us. You can use the information for fun or to help you with your holiday shopping needs!

Here we have scanned through all of our Christmas Music received, and we have made a list of our top 10 Holiday Christmas Music CDs of 2006. Without further ado, here is your list!

#1 - Sarah McLachlan - Wintersong The honey-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan has ascended from modest success in the U.S. and her native Nova Scotia to international stardom. Her music is accessible enough for the masses, yet serious enough to strike a strong chord with sensitive listeners, especially young women. Partly in acknowledgement of that demographic, McLachlan created the Lilith Fair in 1997, a female-focused concert tour that was an unexpected success and heralded a renaissance of female artists in the world of rock.

#2 - James Taylor at Christmas Combine the most beloved, classic songs of the holiday season with the warm baritone of one of the most recognized voices in popular music, and fans will have reason to celebrate with James Taylor at Christmas. This 12-track collection features traditional and contemporary seasonal songs.

#3 - Brad Paisley - Christmas Multi-platinum recording artist Brad Paisley has achieved numerous accolades during his career but has yet to record a Christmas record. The wait is over as his first-ever holiday album Brad Paisley Christmas features 7 Christmas classics as well as 4 original songs!

#4 - Third Day - Christmas Offerings Follow the Grammy Award-winning worship band Third Day back to the manger---and lift your heart in Christmas praise! Includes live versions of "Away in a Manger," "Silent Night," and "The First Noel"; plus "Joy to the World," "O Holy Night," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and more.

#5 - Bette Midler - Cool Yule The holidays are just around the corner and Bette Midler delivers the ultimate present - Cool Yule, her first ever Christmas album. Experience the excellence of Bette's vocals with delightfully lush arrangements that will sure help you get into that holiday spirit. From standards like "Have Yourself A Very Merry Little Christmas" and "White Christmas" to the Hawaiian Christmas ditty "Mele Kaliki Maka" and a stunning duet with Johnny Mathis, "Winter Wonderland/Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

#6 - John Fluker - J Is For Joy With an R&B / Soul feel, and a Jazz heart, Keyboardist John Fluker offers up one of the better Christmas CDs of 2006! The vocals are heartfelt and the arrangement is completely in time with the holiday Spirit. John Fluker's Independent CD J is for Joy is a new Christmas Treasure, and is totally at ease with any other major label Christmas music out there today, even better than most of the contrived and rehashed dribble offered up at the Holiday season.

See great concert events and broadway shows this year such as Disney's Tarzan, Radiohead tickets, Tim Mcgraw Tickets and broadway's Pajama Game Tickets.

#7 - A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack - remastered with never before released material. The first time you listen to this disc you will undoubtedly be transported directly back to your childhood. Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters will go toe-tapping and funky-dancing through your mind's eye. Play it a few more times, though (ignoring the dialogue snippets, if you can), and you will begin to truly revel in Guaraldi's wonderful, humorous, deep piano playing.

#8 - Wynonna - A Classic Christmas As the title indicates, Wynonna doesn't stray from the classics on her Christmas album, sticking strictly to beloved fare as secular as Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" or as reverent as "Ave Maria" and " O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." Similarly, the arrangements keep away from country twang in favor of a middle of the road pop sound.

#9 - Celtic Woman - A Christmas Celebration One of the more impressive things about A Christmas Celebration is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's most loved hymns, carols, and pop standards, along with a Gaelic version of "That Night in Bethlehem."

#10 - Blackmore's Night - Winter Carols "Winter Carols" features familiar favorites, new songs including "Christmas Eve" and even their unique interpretation of The Rednex "Wish You Were Here". Each track is a magical, velvety blend of lush orchestral arrangements, organic Renaissance instruments, guitar mastery and ethereal vocals. Listening to "Winter Carols" is like sitting next to a roaring fire with a glass of cherry brandy as the crystalline snow blankets the earth outside.
