Just hear those sleigh bells jingling...
You can try to run, but come this time of year -- there's no escaping the merry-filled sounds of Christmas. It's a joyful conundrum for those of us who can't resist listening to Nat, Bing and Mariah on repeat. Forever.
So whether you're pining for a soulful crooner, rocker or diva, we've got you covered through New Year's Day with some of our favorite holiday music playlists.
Vance's Soulful Christmas
What makes for a good Christmas song? "All the things that make good music," News4's Jim Vance says. "But most of all, passion for the piece." From The Whispers to Ramsey Lewis Trio, hear Vance's holiday playlist here.
Eun Yang's Christmas Favorites
"I love 'O Holy Night' because it captures the true meaning of Christmas for me," says News4 Today's Eun Yang. Martina McBride's version of the Christmas hymn tops her list of favorites, which also includes Boyz II Men's "Silent Night" and Stevie Wonder's "Someday at Christmas."
