We are pleased to present our annual and traditional episode of new Christmas music. This is far and away our most popular episode every year and it has nothing to do with the host. These featured artists graciously offer up their music for review and allow us to include them in this special episode. Evidently you love it too. Last year’s episode has not only been listened to more than a quarter of a million times it is still going strong, drawing downloads in the thousands weekly. This episode is even better that one. With us approaching our 2nd pandemic Christmas these great Christmas creators are all conveying through their music exactly what it is that we feel, what we value in Christmas and how we want this Christmas to be. It is, at the end of the day, all about love. We did not plan for this theme (or any theme at all) for this episode it has just spontaneously happened. Please listen and enjoy, especially for those artists who took the time to talk with us to share some of the backstories of these great songs. We encourage you to visit these links below, to buy their songs and albums and to let them know through your own reviews how you feel about their music: How Christmas Was Meant to Be – Track Dogs featuring The Barefoot Movement Track Dogs Website: https://www.trackdogsmusic.com/ The Barefoot Movement Website: http://www.thebarefootmovementofficial.com/ Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/trackdogs/how-christmas-was-meant-to-be-the-barefoot-movement-track-dogs Bandcamp: https://trackdogs.bandcamp.com/track/how-christmas-was-meant-to-be Wonderful One – Monica Scott and Angie Killian Angie’s Website: http://angiekillian.com Monica’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/youtube.com/c/MonicaScottMusic Angie’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/youtube.com/angiekillianmusic Love is Christmas – Jesse Terry Website: https://www.jesseterrymusic.com That Old Red Sleigh – Rehya Stevens Website: https://rehyastevens.com Lonely Christmas – Wallis Wallis’ Website: https://iamwallis.com More Links: https://linktr.ee/I_am_Wallis Quarantine Christmas – Mike Mentz Website: https://mikementz.com Featured at: https://songwhip.com/various-artists/a-rock-by-the-sea-christmas-vol-12 Christmas Time – The Farleys Website: http://www.thefarleyssing.com/ Featured at: https://songwhip.com/various-artists/a-rock-by-the-sea-christmas-vol-12 The After Christmas Song – Bob Malone Website: https://www.bobmalone.com Featured at: https://songwhip.com/various-artists/a-rock-by-the-sea-christmas-vol-12 Official Bob Malone Store: https://bob-malone.myshopify.com/collections/releases/products/the-christmas-collection iTunes: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-christmas-collection/1441853252 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Q47lvDWlJBEcvInkj68kn?si=Osp9qC4DTfugVblvvcpAqQ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Collection-Bob-Malone/dp/B07JZRC96X
