I would like to preface this post and playlist with the following disclaimer:
If you are easily offended or “triggered” by Christmas music (either religious or secular) I think it is best if save yourself some time and heartache (frustration and unnecessary anger) by just moving along and skipping this post.
Now, if you love Christmas, this season, the music, and the message of “on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:14), then I think you’ll enjoy this playlist.
I hope it brings you laughter, and sing-alongs, and most of all, good cheer!
These are some of my favorite Christmas songs. There is a mix of religious and secular.
There are a few repeats – because they are my favorite songs, and each artist has their own wonderful version.
