Only Christmas Playlist You Need
A complete Christmas playlist full of the classics and your nostalgic pop-favorites, with a few new treasures mixed in for added comfort and joy.
Christmastime is here!
This post is just a fun, much-needed break from the current political drama for a second so that we can partake in a little seasonal joy. It’s a personal list, compiled after many years of careful scrutiny, so that I could have all of my favorites in one place. I added some of the first few songs from YouTube here, so you can watch the video for some flavor. But for the complete, nearly three-hour list, you can listen on iTunes here or Spotify here. Happy Holidays, enjoy, and consider getting your paid subscription to SHERO today!
