These Noel treats are taken from contemporary musicians around the world and from a wide variety of genres and sit nicely beside the old standards, ensuring Christmas is not only sentimental and sacramental, but always a surprise. Instead, expand your playlist with some more recent Christmas albums and original Christmas songs to enhance your Christmas reverie. As wonderful and satisfying as classic Christmas albums like Cole’s, Bing Crosby’s, and Ella Fitzgerald’s are, they may be difficult to sustain for that long. Now I’m not suggesting you put Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song on repeat for four months. He told me that in the Philippines Christmas music is played in every month that ends in “ber.” Since then, to my delight, I’ve happily embraced this Philippine model, allowing joyous Christmas music to flow into the autumn months. When I inquired why he was listening to Christmas music so early, he was somewhat taken aback. A number of years ago I heard a friend of mine from the Philippines listening to Christmas music in September.
