Very likely you have favorite carols or holiday music that holds special meaning for you.
Me too.
But unfortunately, much of my favorite music is on scratched discs, tangled tapes and old vinyl…
That’s why I’m so enamored of Spotify. This streaming music service makes it easy to create playlists of old holiday favorites—and add almost unlimited new selections as well.
Spotify also lets you listen to songs on desktop or smart phone. And sharing music with Spotify is a breeze.
Take a look at my Huge Holiday Playlist, below. It includes over 200 tracks from Handel to Bobby Helms, Ella Fitzgerald to Elvis. Give it a listen on Spotify.
Not yet a Spotify member? Not to worry. I have a number of free Spotify memberships to give away. Just email me and I’ll send you one.

I am fan of your blog and spotify playlists, in particular the Christmas lists. My wife and I are professional classically-trained singers and have just released our debut Christmas album of all the classics we grew up hearing. I wondered if you’d consider one or two for your playlists! They’ve been featured in Playbill, Broadway World Magazine, OperaWire, PhillyLifeCulture, StepOutBuffalo and several other notable news and magazines– and we are trying to get our music out to more and more folks.
The most popular song so far has been our new rendition of O Holy Night:

And our second most popular is Baby It’s Cold Outside (with a few new words)
https://open.spotify.com/track/7ccZZSuF2vUcrK7dmeic7z
Let me know what you think, and I hope to hear back from you!
