Free Online Christmas Radio Stations
As a writer I often have music on in the background and what I listen to can vary tremendously from day to day, topic to topic. Sometimes I listen to high energy music but sometimes I just want to listen to something cheerful and soothing. Nothing is quite as all around cheerful as Christmas music and I actually sometimes listen to Christmas songs year round, even in July! Back in the day many families had stockpiles of Christmas records and cassette tapes, but when CDs came along it was difficult for some to replace all of their old music with expensive new CDs. If you're one of those people from one of those families, or if you simply don't have a home stereo system for whatever reason, but you'd still like to listen to Christmas music at Christmas time you can do with via an online Christmas music radio station. Some of them are even 24/7 year round!

Christmas music has always been more popular with Country music artists than pop artists and as a result there are loads and loads of great country Christmas music songs to listen to.

Lee Ann Womack and others are popular on this channel.
