My Christmas playlist
I made this for Mom and I to listen to last year on the way up to and back from my aunt and uncle’s house for Christmas. Now, I share it with you.
The order of the songs is deliberate. I ask that you listen to them in this order.
Some of these are iTunes links, some are Amazon links, and some are free songs and/or albums.
