50 Alternative Christmas Songs to Listen to This Year
Are you sick of the traditional Christmas music already? I sure am. But because I'm not a scrooge or a grinch and I really love this time of year, I made a playlist of songs not overplayed.
Not all songs are strictly Christmas songs and some are classics with a new twist. I hope you enjoy the music and let me know what songs you listen to this time of the year in the comments below.
