One of my favorite things about Christmas is the unique selection of music that plays on radio stations across the country this time of year.
Go into any department store during the Holiday Season and be prepared for the repetitious playing of at least half-a-dozen or more renditions of songs like: Frosty The Snowman, or Winter Wonderland, and about a hundred other songs that talk about sleighbells, white Christmases, and snow -- like living in South Carolina I ever saw any snowfall on Christmas. Ugh!
Aside from that little issue, and the maddening number of remakes of several holiday classics playing repeatedly ad nauseum all December long (and in the case of shopping malls and grocery stores, sometimes on, or just after Thanksgiving Day!) there are several wonderful Christmas classics and more modern-day versions of some Christmas songs that I cannot go the entire season without hearing at least once.
The following is my personal Christmas playlist for the Holiday Season. They are not in any particular order of least to greatest, just the ones I really like to listen to.
