One of my favorite holiday decorations is a wreath that my mom made when I was in college.  The wreath has a cigar smoking Santa Claus, gaudy garland, and crushed beer cans. She would tell a story of when she was making the wreath that it lacked a certain charm… a charm that could only be obtained by my father running it over with the car. It turned out great! We still hang it up every December, however it has since moved from the front door to the basement.

In honor of the season and one of my favorite times of the year, I’ve compiled a Holiday playlist. Take a listen while you do your buying, wrapping, baking or just enjoying time with friends and family during this season:

1.    Paul Simon – Getting Ready For Christmas Day, listen
2.    Harry Connick, Jr. – Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!, listen
3.    ALO – Christmas Time, listen
4.    MercyMe – What Child Is This?, listen
5.    James Taylor – Jingle Bells, listen
6.    G. Love – Christmas Baby, listen
7.    Third Day – Do You Hear What I Hear?, listen
8.    Willie Nelson – Pretty Paper, listen
9.    Dion – Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree, listen
10.    Mavis Staples – Christmas Vacation, listen
