I don’t know what it is about the holiday season this year but I’m finding myself uncharacteristically cheery about the prospect of Christmas being a mere 3 ½ weeks away. I generally fall more in the spectrum of “Grinch” when it comes to holidays, so this is truly out of character for me. The only excuse I can come up is that it will be the first Christmas EVER that my husband and I are a) in the same city as one another and b) staying in California for the holiday. If that isn’t cause for endless rounds of Christmas carols and eggnog, I don’t know what is!
Many moons ago, approximately 365 days ago to be precise, when I shared my December 2016 Music Mondays playlist, I received requests for a holiday-specific playlist. I filed the appeal away in the back of my mind and didn’t think much about it again until October of this year. Once the holidays were within reach, I excitedly started assembling the 2017 Holiday Playlist that I’m sharing with you today. It is full of Christmas favorites, both old and new, and, in keeping with the holiday spirit, contains a little something for everyone.

You can find links to this playlist on both Apple Music and Spotify after the jump.
