TOP 10 BEST CHRISTMAS DUETS!!

This is a nice light list of songs to increase your Christmas spirit on this wonderful holiday. It includes some songs that commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, and some that are more modern in concept – but regardless of the type, they are all great songs and perfect for the first prize of our competition. Merry Christmas!

10. Josh Groban and Brian McKnight/Angels We Have Heard on High

This is quite a great Christmas carol that is sung beautifully by Josh Groban and Brian McKnight. “The words of the song are based on a traditional French carol known as Les Anges dans nos Campagnes (literally, The Angels in our Countryside). Its most common English version was translated in 1862 by James Chadwick.

9. Billy Porter and Vanessa Williams/Joy To The World

“Joy to the World” is one of the best-known and best-loved of Christmas carols. It contains a message of joy and love replacing sin and sorrow. It may also be interpreted to be about life after the second coming of Christ. The hymn is significant for its widespread use throughout Christian denominations and for the musical stature of the people who created it.
This is a great Christmas carol everyone can sing along to, and the duet by Billy Porter and Vanessa Williams is amazing.

8. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl/ Fairytale of New York

This is a popular and lovely Christmas song by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl that was released in 1987.

3. David Bowie and Bing Crosby /Little Drummer Boy/ Peace on Earth

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason. As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.
