Oh, this time of year. I love it. I know, I know. Not everyone is all a-twitter over the Holiday season. Some people loathe the rush-rush. The packed calendar. The Christmas shopping. And even, some people… surely not you… despise the playing of Christmas music.
Welp, friends… I LOVE the season. I love the treats. The spirit. AND I L-O-V-E the Christmas/Holiday music. It’s no secret. I’ve had years where I have started listening to holiday tunes prior to Halloween. And my children, well, they adore it, too. And before you get your feathers all ruffled, it’s not as though I dismiss Thanksgiving. Or Halloween. I’ve got pumpkins and leaves and thanks galore. But the music. Well. It makes me happy. It gets my heart full of warm gooeyness. And I’ve looked for Thanksgiving albums. And well, they’re few and far between. So what’s on my turn table?
