I love Christmas music. I will listen to it nonstop from the evening of Thanksgiving until the night on Christmas Day.
There's nothing like bopping along to a song with the uptempo melodies while you're hanging the lights outside of your house or one from your childhood reminds you of years gone by. Or listening on the way to work because it just makes the day a little more cheery.
I have my favorites that I always go back to. But, I am always open to listening and discovering new Christmas music.
One thing I've learned about myself in recent years: Being so melancholy and too ‘in my head,' listening to the sad Christmas music like “Christmas Makes Me Cry,” “I Miss You Like Christmas," “Baby Please Come Home” or something along those lines, just makes me more sad and fills it with a cloud of loneliness that isn't necessary. I now know not to do that to myself and to actively create a plan that will avoid that.
And I will not, under any circumstances, listen to or watch “Christmas Shoes”…I will not do it.
In other news, here are some happier tunes to make your season bright!
