This probably seems odd to many people, but in the steamy, hot summer months (which I hate), I love to listen to Mannheim Steamroller Christmas songs, among other Christmas favorites my mom would play when I was growing up. It makes me hopeful for the upcoming Christmas season.
Hearing those songs any time of year just makes me feel much better about life, too.
Many Christmas songs have a great message and are certainly a reminder of a fun time of the year.
Thanks!
