Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. Only a holiday to celebrate the joy of the birth of Christ could in turn celebrate so much that is good — faith, family, friends, heritage, tradition, life. Giving gifts, spreading joy and beauty, helping the needy, bringing light into the darkest times of the year. I love both the secular and religious aspects of the holiday because I think they ALL serve to celebrate the joy that Christ is born.
I also have more Christmas music than any normal person should probably have. I can’t help it. I love songs with good melody and the Christmas songs that actually live long enough for people to remember are among the best. And since this year in particular seems extra dark for so many people, it seems even more appropriate to haul out the holly just a little bit earlier.
So, I will be sharing many of those throughout the holiday — I hope to share some of my favorites that perhaps you haven’t heard before, but that depends on which songs I can find actual performances of on YouTube. Since our blog started snowing today, prompting me to put up a Christmas header, I’ll start off with this live performance of a most appropriate classic by Perry Como, but I hope to share some more obscure songs with you as well — if I can only find them online.
And I am always looking for new carols and new versions of carols that I haven’t heard before, so please tell me what your favorites are as well!
Merry Christmas!
