It’s the most wonderful time of the year — or maybe the worst, depending in part on whether you’re a fan of Christmas songs.

Are you one of those people that can’t get enough holiday music and has it playing in the background all through November? Or have you endured the very last version of “Last Christmas” you can without yelling Bah Humbug in the store aisle? 

Host Angela Davis talks about why we love holiday music and shares some new songs and rediscovered covers to refresh your playlist. 

Guests: 

  • Sean McPherson is a host on The Current as well as a bassist, bandleader and songwriter

  • Joe Goetz is music director at YourClassical MPR
