Soulful Christmas by the one and only James Brown from the album Funky Christmas (1968).
No one says, “Merry Christmas, happy New Year! I love you, have good cheer. I love you, good God.” like James Brown! I love how joyous and celebratory this song is! It makes me feel happy and thankful when I listen to it. The drums, guitars, horns that include the legendary Maceo Parker on saxophone, along with James Brown’s voice all make this song one of my absolute Holiday faves. And the lyrics- “I ain’t talkin’ just to tease. People like you, they don’t grow on trees. …Have everything I need around my soulful Christmas tree. …Would you believe I got peace of mind. And I’ll be groovin’ at Christmas time. …I got a heart full of love for the whole wide world.” A song that has this kind of vibe is I feel one we all need right now.

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Original 1965 TV Soundtrack) album by the Vince Guaraldi Trio is an absolute treasure. It is played repeatedly through the Holidays. When I’m working, driving, wrapping presents, going for a walk, making cookies, remembering moments spent with a special miniature schmauzer and morkie this time of year, enjoying a cozy evening in. The music of the piano, upright bass, and drums is truly timeless. The instrumental Christmas Time Is Here is especially lovely. …The fan drum. The music is one of the many reasons I love the Holiday special A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by legendary saxophone player Grover Washington, Jr. from the album Breath of Heaven - A Holiday Collection (1997).
This song is on repeat almost every day through the Holidays. I adore it. The mellow, jazzy instrumental version of a classic song has such a perfect vibe. I listen to it when driving, going for a walk, enjoying a cozy night in. If it is not already part of your collection, I highly suggest you add it. Cheers!
