kick off the day after Thanksgiving right!

“Hear the baby Jesus cry ‘ho ho ho!’” – Stephen Colbert

Every year I preach the “no things Christmas until after Thanksgiving” gospel, and with the exception of wearing my Christmas pjs a few times, I stuck to that. But this year I was on the edge of my seat excited for this morning so I could listen to Christmas music! Every year I love discovering new Christmas albums, singles, and of course, listening to all my favorites over and over and over and over…

I pride myself in finding new good Christmas tunes. I spend way too much time doing it, but I can’t help it. So I wanted to kick off the official season of Christmas music by sharing a playlist. I will be constantly adding new music to my “Merry Chrislist” playlist on my iPod, and as I do so, I’ll make new lists to share with you. Look forward to it. By the way, “Oh Holy Night” is my all time favorite Christmas song, and I have tons of versions of it, but if you have any particular favorites, comment and share the love! Or, really, comment any of your favorite songs. This morning I found a version by Weezer that I’m crazy about. Unfortunately it’s not on playlist.com but you can download it here!

This playlist has 20 songs I found and fell in love with this morning, songs I am always eager to hear, and songs that are just straight up full of Christmas FUN! Expect lots of festive blogging this holiday season. TURN UP THOSE SPEAKERS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
