A Motown Christmas is one I always play songs from because it makes me feel like a kid, the warm Christmas memories of visiting and gathering with family that we only saw a few times a year

Yesssss…that’s how I feel about Nat King Cole’s version of A Christmas Song…my grandma used to play it OVER AND OVER again and me and my cousins would dance around. AWESOME memories 🎄♥️

@@amwilliams2006 I had some family members who lived in Detroit years ago who have since passed away. I’ve never been there. My brother claims Detroit as his hometown (we are Army brats) because he works in IT and likes to keep as much as his personal information private as possible. He was actually born in another country when our dad was stationed out of the country. Plus that always has people asking him he is a native of that country and he got tired of that 🤣 so he “adopted” a city know for many Black singers as his hometown since technically he doesn’t have one.

I love A Motown Christmas!! Reminds me of my mama.

My mom loved everything about Christmas. We lost her in May so this will be a very different Christmas for the family this year. She was born on Christmas Day. We plan to celebrate her memory. Pray for us.

I most certainly will Linda. I understand that loss all too well. “The Year of Firsts” is soooooo difficult to navigate. Im so happy to know you will be celebrating her memory, and creating new ones to share with her when you meet again. ♥️🎄

I love Christmas songs. My favorite one is not an album but a song. The Christmas song with Nat King Cole ❤❤

WOW!!!! All I can say is WOW!!!!

The best of Pentatonix Christmas.

OMG Mel! Yes to A Mary Christmas! What a fun listening experience!! It’s a must have in my Christmas Music Rotation… second to that is the Jackson 5 Christmas Album… takes me back to my childhood and listening to that album while we decorated our tree! Christmas is my favorite Holiday! ❤

That store has everything. I sure would have the “wants” shopping there. I have several Christmas albums I like, of course Frank Sinatra is the top of my list but, Harry Connick Jr, “when My Heart Finds Christmas” is so beautiful. Also, Diana Krall, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” another favorite.

Hello Melonie, May this Christmas bring you many blessings, comfort and joy. Thank you for commitment to this community and always delivering content that brings hope and inspiration. In this crazy world, to this community- stay safe, stay free, God Bless. ❤

My favorite is Luther Vandross "This is Christmas"

Yolanda Adams 1st and 2nd albums. And of course some of the classics that I grew up with.

Ledisi, It’s Christmas is my favorite.

One of my favorite Christmas albums is by Luther Vandrose with Favorite Things song and the Whispers Christmas album.

Hi Melonie!! Wow! A super Christmas Depot!! Awesome top notch Christmas supplier! Thanks for sharing!

Kem What Christmas Means. Favorite song Jesus

I see Santa ..and …that lil sneaky cute elf…but The Dress…wowza…you look great!!!

My all time favorites are the Temptations (It makes me think of my childhood 😊), Luther Vandross and Baby Face.

I think all of my favorite Christmas Albums/CD's have been mentioned except Kirk Franklin and the Family Christmas. When I hear "Now behold the Lamb" it always gives me chills. There are also a couple of songs that are in my play list every year that I love: Eartha Kitt singing "Santa Baby" and James Brown Singing "Santa Claus go straight to the ghetto". This is a beautiful Christmas store. It makes me want to visit my friend in Tampa so she can take me to experience this one for myself.

My favorite Christmas album is Perfect Christmas from Past Perfect Vintage.

I love so many Christmas albums. Two of my favorites are Snowflake by Toni Braxton and This is Christmas by Luther Vandross.

I would absolutely lose my mind in this store 😂😂😂

Christmas with Be Be and Ce Ce Winan is one of my favorites. Love this tour! Thanks Melonie !

I always forget this place is so close. I very rarely am that far down Gulf to Bay so I forget about it.

My favorite is Take 6 first Christmas album with Amen. My favorite Christmas drink is a golden Cadillac made with eggnog and Galliano on ice

I am a huge Mary J Blige fan! “I’m going down,” 😍my fav song ever! That Christmas album tho, A Mary Christmas is oh so good! 👌🏼👌🏼🎄🎄🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

LOVE THE TOUR! And a SPECIAL THANK YOU for asking the question of my favorite artist.....I was dead set to answer: Mariah Carey, Christmas Queen....however, I took your advice and googled: Mary J. Blige..............................WOW!!!! I listed and was totally AMAZED!!! I Love her and love you for always being so good to me/us! Thank YOU!!!!

I love Temptations and Luther Vandross but I’m definitely going to listen to Mary this year.

Blue Christmas

I’ve never listened to an actual Christmas album in it’s entirety, and I never listened to anything Mary J Blige did for Christmas. Needless to say I put this video on mute and watched while listening to her album. I got to track 7, When You Wish Upon a Star. I’ll most definitely listen to it again though the holidays & when decorating.
