I am one of those people who love Christmas music. I start listening around the first of November and do not stop until Halloween of the next year. My love of all music holiday has forced me to avoid the standard stuff on FM radio each year. I hope that the lineup will change each year, but it is usually the same twenty to thirty songs on every station. The problem with this is that there are hundreds of songs that get missed from years past and hundreds of new ones each year.
Today I would like to highlight the underplayed songs.
These are my picks for the songs that should get more plays.
First up is Faith Hills’s Where Are You Christmas.
This has rapidly become one of my all time favorites, Hall and Oates, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
Darlene Love is famous for one holiday song, but I love the one that she did for the movie Home Alone 2.

Next up is the best Acapella performance of any song that I have ever heard. It is Martina McBride singing Oh Holy Night.
Next is a song from Annie Lennox, born on Christmas by the way, I thought this song would be come a classic when I heard it, but so far it has gone unnoticed. The song is Universal Child.
The Holiday Network will always go back in time where ever possible to find classics (wait until you see what we have for Valentines day) and Christmas songs have been a staple of the recording industry since the beginning.
This is the most familiar Christmas song of them all. The Christmas Song with a little twist it is a duet in this case with both Nat King Cole & Frank Sinatra.

Audio books. They have a great 30 day trial offer. It is totally free and I just listened to a Game of Thrones book. The books are different from the series. A lot more in the books to absorb. Did I mention that it is a free trial. That is like a free book or two.
