Playlist of the Month: December 2018

Here are thirteen songs to get you into the winter holiday spirit! Even if you do not celebrate Christmas or a winter holiday, you have to admit, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Some songs are their original versions by their original singer and composer with their old-timey audio, but many of these songs were written before commercialized song recording. Where a recording of the original song is not available, there is a popular cover that perfectly encompasses the original tone of the song and the Christmas mood.
