There is no story or personal reflections to this post. It is simply a listing of feel-good, Christmas tunes. I wanted to put together a compilation of the songs that I love and enjoy listening to during this season. There are a few missing songs - perhaps, for another year, and there are some repeats from the first year I did this. I couldn't help myself! Some songs bear a re-listening! ;-) I hope you’ll spend a little time here over the next few days, at your leisure, and share these songs with me. Get a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa and a plate of Christmas cookies, turn on your tree's lights, sit back and relax. The season is truly upon us now. I wish you the happiest of holidays and a joyous listening experience...

Always love~
