The musical selections are a curation of a variety of sounds and genres that reflect this beautiful season of preparing for Christmas. From decorating the Christmas tree, to singing hymns of Advent in anticipation of the Christ Child, I hope these songs bring you joy as you reflect on the significance of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>O Come, Let Us Adore Him, Christ the King<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-Postcard.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-Postcard.png 900w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-Postcard-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-Postcard-768x593.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Preparing for Christmas\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_kYQ-23oKQ75xZk_FrC8QIeFTB3Gz7OSws\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/00Jn9INwEN22OJDlsLXq6O?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"asp_product_item\">\n\t\t<div class=\"asp_product_item_top\">\n\t\t<div class=\"asp_product_item_thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"asp_product_name\">\n\t\t\tPreparing for Christmas-Album Contribution\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"asp_product_description\">\n\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6423 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Preparing-for-Christmas-album-draft.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many music retailers no longer charge for albums, so this is my gift to you!
