For those of you who braved the crowds on Black Friday, you probably heard Christmas songs playing on the PA overhead. I put together a Spotify playlist of Christmas songs that my wife and I enjoy this time of year to share with all of you.
We here at IVM would like to know what artists doing renditions of Christmas songs you are listening to. Please make mention in the comments.
The following are some Christmas albums/songs not on Spotify:
Enjoy and Christ bless you!
This is my Christmas playlist:

It’s getting close to needing a refresh, but there’s a fair bit of Christmas stuff that I haven’t been able to find on Spotify, including A Cradle in Bethlehem by The Beautiful Mistake.
Also, I love Bad Religion’s Christmas EP
Thanks for sharing your playlist! Yeah A Cradle in Bethlehem is such a good song! I wish Spotify would also have their This Is Who You Are album up for streaming. Such a good album! I never personally heard the Bad Religion Christmas album. When it was released and I came across it I was still listening to more secular than Christian music, but thought it nonsensical for a band that admits they don’t believe in God to release a Christmas album.
Yeah, it seems weird. I read a few comments from Greg Graffin about it. He talked about signing the songs while growing up around the church and the songs still bringing back nostalgic feelings, even if the lyrics don’t mean anything to him. They also talked a little bit about it being satire and including a version of their song American Jesus at the end changes the mood, but I still enjoy it.
Also, Christmas Day by MxPx may be the best song they ever wrote.
