Don’t you just love the cheery atmosphere once December hits? While Christmas is mostly centered around family meals, snow, and presents, we tend to forget that great music plays an important role in setting the mood for the season!
Before you begin the day with warm hot chocolate and a hearty Christmas breakfast, hit up these tunes for the perfect Christmas Day atmosphere!
