a 16-SONG holiday soundtrack + 4 more

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I hope yours was lovely, and plenty of yummy leftovers are chillin' in your fridge. But now: let's blast some Christmas music, shall we? I usually cover my ears when I hear holiday tunes before Thanksgiving, but once the turkey hits the table, I'm all like, "Jingle Rudolph the White Christmas Shoes roasting on an open fire Rockin' around the ¡Feliz Navidad!" ...how 'bout you? ;)

I created a little iTunes playlist of 16 holiday/December songs that have resonated most with me the past couple of years. Then I added 3 more that bring me back to my childhood at Christmas time, and one more for laughs. 

1. December - Norah Jones
2. Something About December - Christina Perri
3. Love is Christmas - Sara Bareilles
4. Christmas Lights - ColdPlay
5. Christmas Wish - She & Him
6. 2000 miles - Coldplay
7. St. Patrick's Day - John Mayer
8. Merry Christmas Darling - The Carpenters
9. Ave Maria - Christina Perri
10. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
11. The Christmas Waltz - She & Him
12. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Frank Sinatra
13. Christmas Day - She & Him
14. Happy Xmas (War is Over) - Christina Perri
15. What Are You Doing New Years Eve? - Ella Fitzgerald
16. This is the New Year - A Great Big World

...three more of my favorites from childhood:

1. Sleigh Ride - Larry Groce
2. Twelve Days of Christmas - Mickey Mouse & Mickdey's Friends
3. Mamsita Donde Esta Santa Claus -Augie Rios

...and DUH (!!!) this favorite:
