5 Songs to Get You In the Mood for Christmas

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas Eve to those who celebrate!

If you are anything like me, the Christmas spirit doesn't hit you until the last minute (like when you wake up on Christmas Day). For me, once I graduated and no longer had Christmas breaks or parties to look forward to, the season lost its luster in my eyes.

Sometimes, life sucks. Many of us find ourselves missing loved ones during this time or year. Or, maybe we are depressed because we can't afford to get as many presents for our family and friends as we would like. Instead of focusing on what we lack, let's make a deal this year to appreciate all we do have and the people that are around us right now. Deal? I am sure your presence is worth more than presents to those who love and care about you.

Now, here are 5 songs to get you in the mood for Christmas. As always, there are many more but these songs are a great start!

And, for those who are celebrating Kwanzaa this week, Happy Kwanzaa!

1) Donny Hathaway - "This Christmas"

Many have tried, but no one has been able to sing this song like Donny.


2) Mariah Carey - "All I Want for Christmas"

Bring on the ridiculously happy feelings...


3) The Temptations - "Silent Night"

There is no Christmas without this song. Point. Blank. Period.


4) Kenny G - "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

Great instrumental!


5) Run DMC "Christmas in Hollis"

For all the classic hip-hop fans out here, this is a 1987 classic.

With Love,
