I have a playlist on my phone of all my favorite Christmas songs. I would definitely have to say though that Bing Crosby, in my opinion, just sounds like Christmas.

You know how there are so many themes for Christmas? I feel like there are so many different interpretations of Christmas and my favorite is retro Christmas: that 40’s and 50’s vibe.

It’s just so colorful and reminds me of a time when things seemed simpler. Maybe I’m delusional. Anyway, here’s my list:

1. Little Drummer Boy-The Almost
2. I’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas-Bing Crosby
3. Mele Kalikimaka-Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters
