There’s something pretty amazing about Christmas songs and their ability to instantly lift your spirits. Like the times when i’m annoyed by the holiday shopping traffic and on the verge of hurling expletives at the car in front of me. Then “Gee Whiz (It’s Christmas)” or “This Christmas” comes on the radio. And just like that I’m singing along and the traffic jam’s not so bad. That is the precise reason why I love Christmas music — it somehow manages to cure even the worse cases of the bah humbugs.  Do you know a Scrooge that may need a little help getting into the Christmas spirit?
