NEW YORK—’Tis the season, and many Americans are trying their best to look forward to Christmas. It’s been a tumultuous year, and some festive cheer certainly is in order. Singer-songwriter Elizabeth Chan’s latest Christmas album “Celebrate Me Home” is her ninth record, and will hopefully lift spirits this holiday season.

Ever since Chan was 7 years old, she has been obsessed with Christmas music. She vividly remembers listening to Christmas tunes in the backseat of her father’s car or at home, and she told her parents that she wanted to write Christmas music when she grew up. They weren’t terribly enthused and urged her to become a lawyer or doctor instead.
