Richie McDonald is getting into the holiday spirit a little early this year. The former Lonestar frontman has a new album in stores this week, 'If Every Day Could Be Christmas.' This is Richie's first ever solo CD of holiday tunes. It includes classics like 'O Holy Night' and 'White Christmas,' along with several original songs (our favorite being 'Why Santa's Fat!'). See the full track listing after the jump.

Richie left Lonestar in 2007 after he and his bandmates decided they were going in different musical directions. He released a solo religious album, 'I Turn to You,' in 2008 and is now working on a country CD with his new label home, Stroudavarious Records.
