As I've started to decorate the house this year for Christmas, I began to think about all the different traditions that I love about this time of year. Some Christmas's in my life has been very different compared to others. It has just depended on what season of life I was in at the moment. But there is one tradition that has remained constant throughout all the years: listening to Christmas music.
It helps that I just love Christmas, period. Additionally, during the years where I had to work over the holidays, couldn't afford to buy many gifts, or only had the energy to put of a very few decorations, the one thing I could always turn to was music. All I had to do, at the very least, was just turn on the radio.
One of the things that I love most about Christmas music is the comforting nostalgia it provides. Every year I can't wait to hear my favorites: the Boston Pop's rendition of "Sleigh Ride,"
