The other day, I was doing some Christmas wrapping and wanted to listen to some inspirational Christmas music. I picked a playlist on an account I have and was delighted with what I heard. Some of the songs were not new, but many were. The curated Christian Christmas music list had a lot of variety of genres of music, including Country music to Black spirituals to a majestic instrumental piece. Here’s the list I stumbled on. I have several other lists but it was fun to listen to someone else’s compilation, because I got to enjoy new music that helped me think of the Christmas story through different lenses and interpretations, all with a worshipful intent to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God’s gift to the world…to each of us.
