DECEMBER
2020Happy Mallie Monday, and Happy Holidays!
Christmas is my favorite holiday, and every time December 1st rolls around, I start playing Christmas music. I can’t help it. I know people make fun of people who love Christmas *too* much, but I don’t care. I’m a Christmas-holic.
Whether it’s Ella Fitzgerald or Nysnc - I love any song that has to do with the glitter, saddness, and magic of Christmastime. It makes me think of New York, snowy streets, mistletoe, heartbreak, and most of all...hot chocolate. If you’re also a Christmas-holic, you know what I mean. If you’re not, well, then you’re probably the Grinch. That’s fine, too.
You’ll still like this playlist.
I wanted to make December a mix of some of my favorite Holiday jams, mixed with songs that remind me of Christmastime, family, and loneliness. A little bit for everyone this Christmas. Anyone else a Cancer and get overly sentimental, nostalgic, and sad during December? Just me? The cold weather and romance of the month just put me in my bag. While typing this, my best friend texted me, “Is it not such fireplace and hot cocoa vibes right now?”
She couldn’t be more right.
Don’t forget to put on a cup of hot chocolate while cozying up to this playlist. Enjoy December, and enjoy the Holidays.
Playlist Highlights:
Angels Like You - Miley Cyrus
Favorite lyrics:
It's not your fault I ruin everything,
And it's not your fault I can't be what you need.
Baby, angels like you can't fly down here with me
I'm everything they said I would be.
California Dreamin’ - The Mamas & The Papas
Favorite lyrics:
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk),
On a winter's day (on a winter's day).
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm),
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.).
Christmas Island - The Andrews Sisters
Favorite lyrics:
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do?
Snow In California - Ariana Grande
Favorite lyrics:
I don't need another gift,
I just have one wish, this year.
Can you just make it snow in California?
I'll even settle for rain.
I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes) - Nina Simone
Favorite lyrics:
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Or maybe, except when I hear your name or someone's laugh
That’s just the same
What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder
Favorite lyrics:
I see your smiling face,
Like I've never seen before.
Even though I love you madly,
It seems I love you more.
