DECEMBER
2022I am late to posting, and it’s officially Christmas, so I’m not writing much this month. Just wanted to get December 2022 out to y’all to play and enjoy with the family today. December is kid friendly, pet friendly, curmudgeon-dad friendly, and your mom’s are guaranteed to sing along.
Please go spend time with your loves ones today, whomever that may be for you, and take a moment to reflect on all of the positives from this year. I know that the consesus is that it’s been quite a tough one - but I think all of us can list 3 wonderful things that happened, too.
Inspiration for this month’s playlist came from all of the classic holiday romcoms - The Holiday, White Christmas, Love Actually, About A Boy, Bridget Jones’ Diary... they all have such iconic playlists, but I just wanted to create my own. If I were starring in a Christmas romcom, the soundtrack would look something like this.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy December Mallie Mondays. Hope it puts you in the Christmas spirit like it does for me!
Playlist Highlights:
Walking in the Air - Peter Auty
So Much Wine - Phoebe Bridgers
Favorite lyrics:
So listen to me, butterfly -
There's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Let Go - Frou Frou
Favorite lyrics:
Excuse me, too busy
You're writing your tragedy
These mishaps you bubble wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
So let go, so let go, hmm, jump in
Oh, well, whatcha waiting for? It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
2000 Miles - Pretenders
Favorite lyrics:
In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
‘Zat You, Santa Claus? - Louis Armstrong, The Commanders
Favorite lyrics:
Gifts I'm preparing
For some Christmas sharing
But I pause because
Hanging my stocking
I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
