One of my favorite albums of Christmas music is Toward Winter by Close Enough. Close Enough is/was a musical group from New Hampshire (I think), with most of the members being women.

I love the stark, haunting, peaceful quality of their renditions of these old songs. Perfect music to listen to with a hot cup of coffee, while you sit in an overstuffed chair and watch the snow fall.

I’ve uploaded the tracks from the Toward Winter album here for your enjoyment- I scoured the ‘net and could not find them or a way to order it anywhere. I hope you enjoy.
