In my house, the radio plays Christmas songs 24/7, so I am always singing, although not always on key. Luckily for my hubby who has to hear me, I do know most of the words.
Since it is coming from the radio, I don’t know which song will come next, and there are some that I wish were never played (I’m looking at you “The Christmas Shoes.”) But there are also ones that excite me whenever they play.
Below I am listing my favorite Christmas songs. (The list became much larger than I expected, and I’m sure it isn’t complete.) I would like to know your favorites. Post them below, and we’ll see if there are any overlaps. And remember, there is a song for everyone, so no negativity (although, if “The Christmas Shoes” is your favorite song, I’m going to assume you like to cry.)
