Fun Holiday Playlist


There are some songs this time of year that I cannot stand. The Christmas Shoes, Last Christmas, Santa Baby. BUT I really do love Christmas music. 

For your listening pleasure, here are my cross-genre, classic and remixed, favorite songs of the season. Some are distinctly Advent- related. Some are simply songs for the winter. But each song comes together for a fun and festive celebration of this Christmas season. In  no particular order, here are some of my favorite songs this year!

  1. Love this list! I seem to severely dislike the Christmas songs that are uber repetitive - Little Drummer Boy and Mary Did You Know are the ones I absolutely refuse to listen to. I'm also with you on The Christmas Shoes and Last Christmas. My absolute faves, though, are O Holy Night and Carol of the Bells. And the version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman by Sarah McLachlan and Barenaked Ladies might just be my number one fave of the season!! Great list!!
