I’m one of those people who makes a point not to do Christmas decorations, music (holiday playlist) and such until after Thanksgiving. This is in part because of I LOVE Thanksgiving and want to fully focus on one holiday at a time, but also because when Christmas starts right after or {gasp!} before Halloween it just feels like time is going by too quickly. And, as any parent will tell you life seems to pick up speed as soon as you add a little person into the mix. No need to make life go any fast than it already does, right?!
Whether you are waited until after Thanksgiving or were already in the full blown holiday gear a solid holiday music playlist is definitely in order. Here are some of my favorite holiday songs …
Carol of the Bells is by far my favorite holiday song. Not only is the song featured in my favorite ‘holiday movie’, the original Home Alone, but anytime I hear it get that excited holiday cheer feeling in my gut. The hubby and I started a tradition a few years ago where we watch Home Alone every Christmas Eve. I can’t wait for our kids to be old enough to watch it with us!
The Little Snowflake is probably the most random song on the the playlist. In case you are wondering why it made the cut it is because it makes my daughter’s whole face light up anytime is comes on. Her pre-school did a Christmas Show last year and she pretty much memorized the entire song. I’m guessing they did a good amount of practicing for the show. It took us a little while, but eventually my mother-in-law found the song online. Jellybean still remembers parts of the dance they taught her to go along to the song.
So there you have it, our holiday playlist. What songs should I add to our playlist?
