40+ Christmas and Holiday Songs You Need On Your Playlist Now

Lifestyle

40+ christmas and holiday songs you need on your playlist now

Don’t you love this time of year?  The hustle, the bustle and everything else that comes with it?  When I worked in retail we waited all year for the holiday rush.  I loved helping the customers that crowded around the perfume counters looking for the perfect gift.  Another thing I love about Christmas and this time of year is Christmas music.

Choosing music is like sampling perfume.

I’ve come to realize that music preference is like perfume sampling.  You either love it, hate it or tolerate it because it’s all you have.  Sometimes it’s hard to listen to something you’re not used to.  One version of a song may be amazing but when you hear a new or different version you wanna change the station pronto!

Well I’m here to convince you to check out some of my favorite holiday songs.  Not sure if you’re going to like any?  How do you know if you’re going to like a perfume unless you try it?  The same goes for music.  Your favorite new song or song version may be out there but you may not have found it yet.

The best Christmas songs are old, new and everything in between.

I like to think I have eclectic taste when it comes to music.  I like everything from AC/DC to Kenny Rogers to Madonna to Eminem.  When it comes to Christmas music, I like old, new, young and old.  The list I compiled doesn’t have every popular holiday song on it otherwise this post would be a lot longer than it already is, rather, I chose a nice helping of favorites I think are ‘must listen tos’ each year.  Some are fun, some are quirky and some will give you all the feels of Christmas.  So do me a favor, check out the tunes on my list and let me know what you think.

Happy Easter!! ✝️🐰🐥 Happy Easter!! ✝️🐰🐥
Say hello to my little peep. Okay, he's not real Say hello to my little peep.  Okay, he's not real but isn't he adorable?  I whipped him up in less than 15 minutes.  Super easy and super cute!!  You'll need:
Yarn
Orange felt
Black felt, beads or giggly eye
Pipe cleaner
Glue
Scissors
Wire cutter (optional)  Wrap yarn around 4 fingers fifty - sixty times.  Carefully slide yarn off your fingers and gather another piece around the middle.  Pull it tight and tie a knot.  Cut the loops carefully then trim the puff until the ball is a nice uniform shape. (This was the most time consuming part.) Now wrap more yarn around 2 fingers fifty - sixty times and do the same as you did with the first ball.  This smaller one will be the head.  Glue the head to the body.  Cut a small beak (triangle) from the orange felt and glue it to the head.  Either cut two small circles for the eyes from the black felt or use beads/giggly eyes.  Glue those to the head above the beak.  Bend your pipe cleaner in half then cut it.  Each side will be one leg and foot.  Starting at one end of the pipe cleaner start bending about 1/4 - 1/2 an inch in and then back out again to form three toes then wrap the long part up through the middle of the toes to finish the leg.  Put a dab of glue on the ends and place it up into the underside of the body.  Allow glue to set and then arrange feet and toes so your peep can stand.  Now give him a name.  Just kidding!  Though I won't judge you if you do. 😉

💛 I love seeing my daffodils each spring. I do 💛 I love seeing my daffodils each spring.  I don't have too much luck with bulbs around here partly because of the squirrels and other animals digging them up and my heavy clay soil.  Still these seem to like their spot and that makes me happy.  Can't wait for the tulips to bloom next... 🌼🌷
