Ah, Christmas time again
Its officially time to crank all the favorite holiday tunes we’ve been waiting for. But sometimes hearing “All I want for Christmas is You” for the 1,000 time since last Tuesday makes you wish New Years would come a little sooner and return your sanity. So if you’re needing a little life breathed into your Christmas favorites, here are 6 lesser-known holiday tunes to spruce up your playlist.
Warmer in Winter
Lindsey sets aside the violin for this number to sing us all that feel-good, romantic, fuzzy socks goodness we love in her latest album.
Huron Carol
A true Canadian classic, this carol hails from the 1600s when a French missionary wrote it for the native Americans he served. This current English transliteration is a real treat.
Happy Happy Christmas
| Far from being obnoxiously cheerful as the title might suggest, Ingrid serenades us with that gentle melancholy sound to heal our holiday blues. |
This classic British carol has been a mainstay of European Christmas tradition for centuries. Its rich symbolism and lush imagery make it a must for your classical playlist.
David Archuleta has released a second Christmas album, and it’s everything we hoped for from a favorite American Idol. This number is guaranteed to be a hit with your kids after the first play.
This 15th century German hymn gets an indie folk cover by Robinson and Rohe. And really, it deserves extra points because… accordian <3.
And there you have it!
Those are my suggestions to make your Christmas playlist even more fabulous. What Christmas songs do you think should be heard more often?
