in recent years, i’ve really enjoyed scouring out Christmas and holiday songs that aren’t quite so mainstream and truly fit the vibe of my insides. one of my best friends seems perfectly content with nsync and mariah year after year, but I find that fresh music really arrests my ears and helps to slow me down during advent. i present to you a handful of this year’s stories as i’ve tried to keep things a bit more streamlined: enjoy!
christmastime is here | jars of clay
o holy night (o night divine) | rend collective
for all that you have done | rend collective
this is war | the modern post
