28-Winter Songs

OK, the calendar tells me that today is the first day of Winter here in the northern hemisphere, so that means I'm going to share with you a big batch of songs about Winter, all courtesy of The Internet Archive. This is a really big batch because I was able to find a lot of songs about the season, most of which will slide right into your holiday playlists with no problem what-so-ever. Hopefully this is another good mix of familiar songs by unfamiliar artists and songs that are new to you. I know I hadn't heard a lot of these before I found them at the Archive. Enjoy this deep dip, and let me know what your favorites are in the comments!

  4. Songs about winter are even better than songs about sleighs and sleighrides. Too many new favorites to mention among these. But I guess I have a preference for the somewhat sentimental, longing songs that gets me in a daydream-like, nostalgic mood. Thanks!
