The Better Sounds of Christmas

It is the day after Thanksgiving, and that means it is officially acceptable to start playing Christmas music. Truthfully I have been listening since the beginning of the month, but I decided to spare everyone who doesn't share the same level of enthusiasm. 

These are the Christmas albums I constantly have on repeat. If you haven't heard of Straight No Chaser, run don't walk, and get yourself to the iTunes store because they are absolutely AMAZING! Having so many holiday albums means that I have multiple versions of the same song. I created a playlist with my favorites of each (though there are a few songs where I couldn't make up my mind about which I liked best). Here it is:
