From the cheerful jingles of “Jingle Bells” to the soul-stirring notes of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” each song carries a unique essence of this festive season.
Among these treasured tunes, religious Christmas songs like “O Come All Ye Faithful” hold a special place, capturing the true essence of the season. The internationally recognized Praise Band Planetshakers recently gifted a beautiful “It’s Christmas Live” album to celebrate Jesus and his arrival on Earth.
