The holiday season is a hectic time of year. During the day you work, and then after work you have to wind your way through crowds to go shopping, and then at night you have to get dressed up and head to a holiday party or three. And then Christmas day arrives, and you have to get ready for the big family dinner, whether it’s setting up your own home or traveling to another’s. With all this activity, it’s not unusual to find oneself stressed out and sick from lack of sleep.
Fortunately, there are Christmas songs in which to take comfort. Many of these songs are upbeat and joyful, which is often great. But sometimes, you just want something supremely peaceful and relaxing, an oasis in a hectic time. Thankfully, there are a few seasonal songs that are appropriately serene. Here are two of my favorites; give them a listen if you need a break from Christmas dinner preparations, the family, or Mariah Carey.
Robert Shaw Chorale – Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming (YSI) (filesavr)
Sufjan Stevens – O Come, O Come Emmanuel (YSI) (filesavr)
Merry Christmas to you all, and thanks for reading TSRE.
