It’s Christmas music season!
Okay, it’s been Christmas music season for a few weeks now. Maybe, like, several weeks. Actually, that local radio station started playing Christmas music like two months ago, didn’t they.
But! By now, you’re probably tired of hearing the same old holiday tunes over and over, right? But you want to stay festive and spirited and generally jolly, right? That’s what we like to hear.
Presenting: the fifth installment of our annual Big Com Holiday Playlist! Pull up the Spotify, put this gold on your digital turntable, flip the shuffle switch, and let the vibes wash over you like the newfallen snow. Play it every day until Christmas, then play it all day on Christmas, then convince your spouse that it’s technically still Christmas until Epiphany and you should keep listening to Christmas music until Epiphany because that’s what Jesus would want.
Happy Holidays, everyone! Be safe, be warm, and be excellent to each other.
