Well, it’s the most wonderful time of the year again. How are we feeling?

I just got back home from finals. And to be honest…the holidays feel empty after you are booked so long. Someone seriously has to do something about that. I request a redraft of priorities! Each year it’s the same. I realized what I’ve been missing these last few years. Home firstly, but there’s more. Something that sets the mood. Music! I know it sounds dumb because hello! It’s everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I listen to it in the car and occasionally in the house, but lately I lost some motivation to find it all. Searching it can get bothersome sometimes which is why adding them together or getting a CD is the best thing. Growing up we would blast it all month. It made it fun. We would look forward to it on the radio in late November and early December. When you’re stressed during the holidays it’s hard to flip the switch so quickly. But it’s always good to try. And one way is the music.

When you can’t play the bgm of Christmas you really can’t feel the holiday. I can’t write down every song on here (mainly because I can’t remember them all…), but I will mention a few of my feel-good songs. There used to be a playlist on youtube that had many of them, but it gets taken down all the time.

So today, we will make one with a few of our favorites. We have a few days, the countdown has begun. This is not to compare artist or anything, these are just the versions I listen to. This is also not to put down anyone or anything. We respect all artist! Without further ado…let’s jump in. These are in no particular order. Here’s the list!:
