Christmas Music

Christmas music is one of the most cherished elements of the season. Name any other day or season on the calendar that celebrates with music. Nothing matches Christmas in its celebration through song. Those traditions date back hundreds of years long before the advent of modern recording technology. Like all things associated with the season Christmas music dovetails with history and tradition that makes celebrating Christmas a rich and satisfying part of our lives. We approach holiday music in two ways here at My Merry Christmas: in the features of this section and in the Merry Podcast — where Christmas music isn’t just explained it is shared. And because it continually evolves and expands we also explore new releases coming out every holiday season.
