Christmas Music

Christmas is here again and do you know how you can tell?  Probably because every store, café and restaurant you walk into are playing all of your Christmas favorites.  Christmas Music is the best way to get yourself in the holiday spirit.

The following is a list of songs compiled by Pop Culture Madness, which will surely get you in the right frame of mind for the season.  I would suggest making several mixed CD’s of these classics and just let them run on repeat on your stereo.  There are enough of them that you will not hear the same song twice for at least several hours.  Plus, there is a minimum of religious ditties on the list because this is after all the holiday season, and not just Christmas.
