My favorite Christmas album comes from pulling together songs from a variety of artists and albums that I have collected over the years. I love Christmas, and I love Christmas music. Below I have put the songs in order of how they are on my collection. I did not know how to do this with Amazon’s playlist. Three of my favorites were not on Amazon, so I have put some alternatives with references below in red.
If you do not like all the work in getting separate songs, then I would highly recommend Russ Taff’s A Christmas Song album. This has been my favorite complete Christmas album for a long time. Please let me know if you feel I missed anything. But if you add one, tell me which you would remove. Enjoy.
