STOCKING STUFFERS :: Merry Christmas II You

Mariah Carey returns with her second career holiday album, Merry Christmas II You.

Highlighting the long-awaited new album is a brand new recording of Mariah's all-time holiday standard, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The new version includes an orchestral introduction, several festive highlights and new ad-libs.

In addition to traditional yuletide fare - "The First Noel," "Little Drummer Boy," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and more - Merry Christmas II You also contains four original songs composed by Mariah, including the new single, "Oh Santa," and many more surprises for the fans.

Producers on the new album include American Idol's Randy Jackson, multi-platinum hit-making producer Jermaine Dupri, James Poyser (acclaimed producer for Aretha Franklin, The Roots, Lauryn Hill and more), and five-time Oscar nominee and Grammy/Tony/Emmy award winning composer Marc Shaiman.

Merry Christmas II You would make a great holiday gift for the music lover, Mariah Carey fan and lover of the holidays.

STOCKING STUFFERS :: Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters

Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters is part of a three-volume deal President Barack Obama signed in December 2004, just after he was elected senator, but before he took office.

The profits from the children's book will go to charity -- a scholarship fund for military children with a parent who was killed or disabled.

Obama chooses a baker's dozen Americans to illustrate traits such as courage, creativity and intelligence that he sees in his daughters and encourages young people to find and develop in themselves. Those chosen - including George Washington, Jackie Robinson, Billie Holliday, Cesar Chavez, Helen Keller & Sitting Bull - capture ethnic diversity and include a good balance of men and women.

Of Thee I Sing would make a great holiday gift for the history buff, political enthusiast and child at heart.
