Christmas Music Playlist 2018

Christmas Music Playlist 2018

Of course, I had to come back in December if only to post my annual Christmas music playlist. But to be honest… for a little while I wasn’t sure if I would actually put it together. You all know how much I absolutely love Christmas music, but this month I’ve been listening to a different album on repeat.

But I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t get my annual dose of Christmas music in. (It’s usually playing 24/7 this time of year!) And while it would be an understatement to say that I threw consistency out of the window this year with my blog, the one thing I have done for as long as I can remember on Dreams, etc. (before it was even called that!) is post a Christmas music playlist. So. Here are the playlists I put together for you this year.

Sit by your Christmas tree, sip some hot chocolate, and listen to some tunes! Our annual Christmas music playlist is here! // Dreams, etc.

That’s right! I said playlistS. I always throw music I’m listening to into the playlist and then narrow it down before I post it so that it’s a nice, reasonable size. But this year I culled a few songs, but didn’t want to take out anything else. That playlist has a little over two hours of Christmas goodness for you! But it was a little difficult to organize the songs to tell my story–as I do each year–so I rolled up my sleeves and was ruthless! Kind of. The abridged version clocks in at just over an hour. (I tried to get it under an hour. I really did.)

You’ll find the staples: it starts with Harry Connick Jr.’s “Sleigh Ride” as it does every year. (It’s the first Christmas song I listen to every year!) And it’ll take you into New Year’s Eve with Pink Martini’s “Auld Lang Syne.” (If you’re not a fan of the song, be sure to give this version a listen!) And Mahalia Jackson’s “Silent Night, Holy Night” marks the night of our Savior’s birth.

Tell me what Christmas songs you’ve been listening to this year! I might have to make our full playlist just a little bit longer.

Sit by your Christmas tree, sip some hot chocolate, and listen to some tunes! Our annual Christmas music playlist is here! // Dreams, etc.

PS – Check out the playlists from 2017 and 2016!

    Love your list! Carol Of The Bells by Thans Siberian Orchestra is my all-time favorite though. Just something about that song that puts me in the Xmas spirit!

    Christmas music is my favourite – I love a real variety, old and new! I love anything from Mariah Carey to Nat King Cole, to Bing Crosby!! Fun! 🙂

On this day I was tired after a long week and my least favorite holiday. My bed was oh so comfortable. I forced myself to roll out of bed and journey to the dam. It was filled with people and I was pokey…taking my time to get there and even journeying down one of the other paths to avoid walking across the dam. (Which isn’t long.) I finally joined the crowd and walked across. And then came back, happy to have made my weekly journey. This is when the top layer of the water started to freeze.
