Right about now is the time I start stressing out about the holidays. Waiting for gifts to arrive, trying to get everything wrapped, planning a gluten free holiday menu, attending holiday social functions. It is all catching up to me. I cannot imagine how I would feel had I not done most of my shopping before Thanksgiving, or put my tree up in early November. With the short gap between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, I think we are all feeling the pressure.
And I hate that.
I hate that a holiday that should be about peace, joy, and family instead becomes overwrought with stress. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to shake it off, and be a little silly. And what better way to do that than music?
I think by now you are all taking me serious when I say I love Christmas music. And most of the time I tend to prefer sacred holiday pieces. But when the clock is winding down, and I still have a million things to do, I absolutely need some music that is going to make me laugh and remember to have fun during the holidays. So, I threw together a short playlist of the quirkiest holiday songs I knew. Sing along, dance along, and remember to enjoy the magic of this season.
