Christmas music is therapy.

Dealing with a stressful time in my life, new baby, buying a home, older son who isn't used to having a baby around... All good things, mostly blessings, but still stressful. I've found that sitting at my desk with my favorite Christmas songs on has helped a lot to calm me down. Right now I'm listening to Sleigh Ride by the Boston Pops orchestra. It for sure helps to soothe my mind.

Anyone else notice the same effect from their favorite songs of the holiday? Or is it entirely to early for some to even bust out the Holiday tunes?

I love playing Christmas music when I'm cooking. I believe it brings good vibes and it travels through my food. I play holiday music year round without any complaints from the family :)

I definitely think Christmas music is therapeutic. Soothes the soul and cheers you up. :treedance:

yes, even my cats like to nap listening to Christmas music

Ha! Mine too!

I always put Xmas songs starting from 20 December to start feeling the holiday coming. Especially I listen to such music when I cook Xmas dinner

I too use it all season long. It soothes, inspires, relaxes and generally chases away any cloudy feelings. Depending on the reason, it can be traditional singing, instrumental, jazz style or even more modern, like Mannheim Steamroller... :elf3:

I listen to Christmas music all year long

Recently even got a Big Band style Christmas album downloaded. Good stuff... :santasmile:

I LOVE christmas music :snowman:

Do you listen to it throughout the year, or just during the holiday season?

It has definitely been a huge help this year... :carols:

Last year I found a copy of Jim Nabors Christmas Album on vinyl that was my dads from 1967. Jim Nabor's isn't my type of singer, but I did enjoy listening to it simply because it was my dad's.

Sometimes those types of memories are nice. My mom used to listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford and I have a Christmas album of his. For me, it depends o the kind of therapy I need at the moment. It can even be some soft piano instrumental Christmas music with no voices... :elf3:

How interesting- I had no idea he was a singer.

Oh yeah. He had a very resonant voice... :dizzy:
