While I still believe that
"Standards" are songs that never get old, I have to admit that hearing the same
Christmas song being played 50 times within a 30 day period does make me crazy. Yes, these are the
Christmas songs that we all love but enough is enough. After hearing the great
Nat King Cole sing
"The Christmas Song" ten times in two days, that was more than enough for me (or anyone else, I suppose). In order to escape having to hear the same
Christmas songs being sung by the same artists over and over again, I decided to pick some artists singing
Christmas songs that are great but don't get as much play. A sort of personal
Christmas playlist. So here are a few of my current favorite
Christmas songs that you might want to add to your collection this year. There are lots more that I have missed, so if you have your own favorites, please share them with me.
