All 12 Days! A playlist to help us keep Christmas well!
Here's a playlist full of songs that will help us remember the cadence of merriment we'll need for the next 12 days. What songs would you add?
Bonus:
Here's 2 more for festive, kitschy, sappy celebrating I've made through the years. Fair warning for all the feels!
Christmas Eve playlist for my Momma (because I miss her!)
A Happy / Sad / Sentimental Christmas Eve (2019)
I'm doing my annual baking up a storm all-day Christmas Eve. I always start out by live streaming the Lessons and Carols service from King's College in Cambridge. I listen to the Scriptures, say "Thanks be to God" in response to all the Scripture passages while I'm rolling peanut butter balls, and melting chocolate on the stovetop. This year I tried to imagine how that booming organ sounded in a nearly-empty cathedral and if anyone got goose bumps when the boy soloist rings out the first notes of "Once in Royal David's City"?
Once that's done, I turn to the playlist I made for my Mom when we used to be in Texas over Christmas. We're not together this year either so it fits. Might as well indulge in all the sap while I'm melting marshmallows and chocolate chips and whipping up cream cheese -chocolate cupcakes. Consider yourself warned!
Merry Christmas Eve, friends, and God bless us, everyone!
