The holidays are upon us, and we have a pretty legit Christmas playlist this month if I do say so myself. We’ll begin the hour with a meditation on the nativity, including a reading of the touching poem “Kenosis” by Luci Shaw. From there we’ll move on to a few tunes about peace and wind up in the joy of a few seasonal singalongs.
There is quite the selection of great songwriters and new music this hour, including new-ish tunes from Lori McKenna, Ben Rector, The Porter’s Gate, Jamestown Revival, Ellie Holcomb, and Thomas Rhett (I couldn’t resist). I also couldn’t resist throwing in a Pentatonix rendition of “Winter Wonderland,” so there’s that to anticipate as the hour winds down.
I hope the holidays find you grateful and surrounded by those you hold dear. And even if that’s not quite the case this year, I hope the music puts a twinkle in your eye and brightens this overly-cloudy Indiana winter.
