Okay, it’s time to get serious as we begin to wind down to the end of the “12 Days of Christmas” medleys. Today that means music on a (mostly) mellow note (pun intended).
Some of these songs will be familiar to you, while others will hopefully be a new and joyful experience.
The medley features established icons from Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, Elvis Presley, John Denver, Alabama, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra to perennial favorites Pentatonix, Canadian superstar Aselin Debison, and Country music legend Don Williams.
We’ve also added the Superlatives, a New Hampshire high school a cappella choral group (in full disclosure, that group included my grandson and part-time Streamingoldies DJ, Dylan Place) to round out a medley filled with the true meaning of Christmas.

Thank you, Jim! Your comments always lift me up! ❤
I’m so enjoying this Ray-evokes pleasant memories.
Trying to play on my Bose from Facebook is a trick-have lost connection and found it again about six times.
It’s worth it-thank you!
You are simply amazing to provide such wonderful music to us.
Thank you, Nancy ❤️
I have tried listening to the medleys on a phone. It’s “okay” but the sound quality when played on a computer and great speakers certainly enhances the experience. I am so glad you enjoyed the music!
Listening again. Having a kinda-tough-day. I will be OK. The music helps a lot. I also listen to other music…shame on me, but you spark the effort to give me the impetus to seek music as a healing agent. Thank you, Ray.
Jim, I’m so sorry you’re having a tough day. Music does help, but it can never solve all of your problems. I don’t want to get all “preachy” but there is a higher power than music when you need help getting through the day.
“Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.”

Thank you, Mary Helen! ❤️
Jim music does help!! Ray some of these songs bring back so many memories some happy and some sad!! I must admit that we all should believe in Santa after all he is all of us spreading his joy!! We need to keep this belief alive!! Could you hear Dylan(Merry Christmas Dylan) Don Williams always gets me!! I hope all of us have a happy and wonderful Christmas!!
Love ya
Perfectly worded, my friend. I believe in Santa more now than I did when I was a kid. He IS real and his love for children (of all ages) is forever!
I can clearly hear Dylan. That low voice in that group is our boy! ❤️
Yes, Don Williams had an extraordinary and unmistakable voice.
Love ya
Had a busy morning, so we just listened and enjoyed them as always. Thanks for helping keep me in the Christmas spirit, its been tough since I lost Amy, but these help. <3
I know it’s tough, Nancy, but Amy would be so proud of you, just as I am. ❤️
Johnny Mathis and Dylan in the same medley …. can’t go wrong with those two! The others are pretty good as well 😉
Music is a GREAT healer of the soul …. sing along, sing at the top of your lungs even if you don’t know all the words, just make them up!
Let your light shine through ~
Rose, singing along enriches the feeling!
Let your light shine through says it all! ❤️
Loved these & loved all the comments. Music does heal the soul.
Thanks, Pat 🥰
Many of the comments the Christmas music has received have been very thoughtful. That has been very encouraging!
12-23-2023 Hi Ray, I have been swamped with paperwork this week & when I was listening yesterday Ted’s son called from NC so I talked with him & didn’t feel I really got a chance to listen so today during breakfast Ted & I listened together. If my prioritizing works should be caught up listening before Christmas. Thank you Ray. Listening takes me back to singing carols with my Mother & brothers 🙂 Have a happy day Lee & Ted
Thank you, Lee & Ted 🥰🥰
I’m so glad the music brought back such pleasant memories for you!
