What have I been listening to lately?! I’ve been doing a lot of driving this holiday season so I’ve had my radio tuned to two different SIRIUS XM Christmas stations (since Thanksgiving!). And luckily I’ve discovered some new Christmas music this year! These are a few of my favorites. Maybe you’ll discover a new tune that you want to add to your annual holiday playlist. Let me know what you like!

“Sleigh Ride” Imani Winds – I’ve always admired this woodwind quintet and they have a fun arrangement of this classic Christmas favorite. Listen to a sampling through iTunes…

“Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” Lester Lanin – This song makes me want to tap my toes and get dancing!

“Santa’s Blues” Charles Brown – I like the sound of his voice and the instrumental blues on this one. Listen to a sampling through iTunes…

“Christmas, Baby Please Come Home” Cher featuring Rosie O’Donnell – Not much to say about this – it just cracks me up!

“Hairy Christmas” Duck Dynasty – I can’t say I’ve EVER watched Duck Dynasty. BUT I heard this on a Country Holiday special this year and I think the words are hilarious. It’s actually catchy too!

“Little Drummer Boy” Pentatonix – A beautiful a cappella version of the classic holiday favorite. I love their ensemble sound.

Happy Listening and Merry Christmas!
