ReplyDeleteI like a lot of most any kind of Christmas music, but I think my favorite is instrumental, followed by a lot of voices singing together, folowed by fewer voices singing together, followed by a single vocalist.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this Ray Conniff Singers medley at the end of the playlist is just a treat.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people really beat themselves up around this time of year for not being sufficiently jolly, and I think I've been guilty in some instances for encouraging them to do that to themselves. I try a little harder now not to, but I know I still do it.
ReplyDeleteWell, in this line of thinking, I've always really, really liked the song "We Need a Little Christmas," and I especially love the early line in it, "before my spirit falls again." It's great when we confess stuff like that to ourselves.
