Holiday Playlist

If you are one of those people who doesn’t want to see holiday decorations until December and hates holiday music before Thanksgiving, I’d probably recommend you take a moment to bookmark this blog post and come back to it at a later date.

It’s holiday playlist time at my house, y’all.

Let’s be honest. It has been for a couple weeks now. I can not apologize for that. Holiday music is something of a nostalgic thing for me. I LOVE memories of decorating the tree with family nearby with these songs playing. We never lived close to our grandparents or other family members, so there was always a road trip associated with holiday visits- and before the days of 24 hour holiday music stations I learned to get excited when ole Branda Lee started singing about Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.

Classics never go out of style, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t also some great new takes on holiday favorites. I’ve taken the liberty of compiling a Spotify playlist for you that includes some of those holiday favorites for this season.

I’m listening to it while I’m writing this. Admittedly I’m biased, but I think it’s pretty great. I hope you’ll enjoy it too. Here are 35 songs (2 hours of music) to help you get yourself into the holiday spirit.

Get your jingle bells ready, and click here to head straight over to Spotify so you can give it a listen/download. I have also included a picture below of the list of songs..

I’d love to hear your favorite Holiday song. Did I leave any off the list?

Tailgating Tunes

Football season is in full swing, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. One of the best parts of football season for me is the time I spend with family and friends tailgating before (and after) the games. If you’re lucky enough to make friends with the people you tailgate near through the years, the first few games can seem like family reunions. Excitement abounds for those few magical game days each year, and it’s my belief that a must-have for any football Saturday or Sunday is the perfect tailgating playlist. Your playlist should be a mix of musical genres and contain tunes almost anyone can recognize. Bonus points if you get a few friends to sing along.

I’m pleased to share my 2019 Tailgating Tunes playlist with you. 68 songs for 4 hours and 40 minutes of music means you can tailgate quite awhile and never hear the same song twice. I hope you enjoy! I’d love to hear your favorite fall tailgating songs. Did I leave out any classics?
