As you all know, I love Christmas music. I have a large collection of Christmas music that I play nonstop throughout the Christmas season, but there are some songs/albums that I play on repeat, like Harry Connick Jr. or Mahalia Jackson’s “Silent Night” or Harry Connick Jr.
If you know me well you also know that, in my opinion, Harry Connick Jr. is number one. I fell in love with Christmas music when I was in middle school by listening to his album “When My Heart Finds Christmas.” It’s still the first album that I play the day after Thanksgiving and nothing makes it feel more like Christmas than listening to the opening strains of “Sleigh Ride.”
Like I did last year, I thought I’d put together a playlist of songs that I’ve been drawn to this year. I narrowed them down to 25 this year.
In no particular order:
