Christmas Day is almost here! And I know it can sometimes get repetitive listening to the same old classic Christmas songs on the radio. So why not mix it up in the most stagey way and weave some showtunes into your Christmas listening habits! To spread a little holiday cheer, I’ve put together a list …
