Just in time for the festivities, I hope you enjoy this fourth installment of Musical Mondays, which features delightful holiday songs. I tried my very best to curate a mix that incorporates some of my favorite indie holiday songs & absolute classics with a fun ending featuring Mariah. With the exception of “O, Holy Night” by Sleeping At Last, nearly (removed it, oh well) all of these songs will not make you feel as though you’re sitting through a musical sermon on Jesus’s birth. Even if you don’t celebrate any winter holidays, this mix is still great to listen to any time of the year. That’s right, I still blast holiday music in the middle of May because I DO WHAT I WANT. If you’re a fan of the mix, be sure to follow me on 8Tracks & share it with your friends via Facebook or whatever else you kids are using these days.
I wanted to let y’all know that my new layout is almost, just almost ready & I’m very excited for it, but I still have tons of photos to edit–does it ever end??–& lots of things to tweak. Recipes & more gallery postings soon (pffttt but I know about 2 of you actually click through the gallery anyway). Happy Holidays!!
Can’t wait to see the new layout! By the way I emailed you regarding a recipe on your blog, hope to hear back from ya soon. I was thinking of adding you on fb, and just messaging you on there, but would that be creepy? Lol, I have no understanding of what’s creepy anymore.
I’ve never heard that Coldplay cover before! One of the great things about working in theatre at Christmas is the never ending barrage of Christmas songs =] I love this festive playlist! Thanks for sharing =]
Thanks for taking a listen! The cover is pretty old, but always a goodie. 🙂 Glad you got to discover it. 😀
Listening to fist track now. I like that Chris Martin kept this classic song simple. Thanks for the music, Tiffany! I wish you a wonderful time during this joyous season.
Me too! I’m glad you took a listen. Hope you have a wonderful time this year too. Will you be returning to Italy for the holidays or are you staying put with your bf?
I saw Michael Buble and Eartha Kitt on the list and I just HAD to take a listen. Thank you for sharing this great festive holiday playlist. I’m actually playing this for everyone at work at the moment 🙂
Can’t forget Dean Martin or Nat King Cole! I’m so happy to hear that you’re playing the mix for everyone at work. 😀 Thank you for stopping by & thanks for sharing!!
I have barely listened to ANY holiday music this year yet! WOW I need to get on it!
I hope you give my mix a listen!! 😀 I just started listening to holiday music last week myself.
Nice music list! I love holiday music. 😀 I generally prefer the original (ie: the original Judy Garland’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”) piece as opposed to the cover, but I do recognise a greatly done cover when I hear it 😀 But now that Coldplay cover intrigues me!
Nothing beats live Christmas concerts, though! I got to go to a free one two weeks ago, and it was so worth it! Nothing beats a live concert band or orchestra playing away beautiful songs!
Anyway, Happy Christmas to you, Tiffany! You have a fabulous holiday!
I hope you gave it a listen! I love all sorts of holiday covers, but of course the classics are wonderful, which is why I included a few from jazz legends. 🙂 Have a fabulous holiday! I’d love to see a symphony during the holidays one day. Definitely can next year since I live so close to the Boston Symphony!
Do go and see Boston Pops Symphony! http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Festival-Arthur-Fiedler-Boston/dp/B000003EP8 That album as convinced me that they are awesome, so if I were in Boston, I’d definitely try and go to their Christmas concert! 😀
I’m so in love with this playlist that I’m actually playing it right now even after Christmas! Thanks for sharing Tiffany 🙂 And you have such a lovely lookin’ blog!
I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂 I’m glad you love my mix. You can also make your own mixes at 8Tracks that you can share with others. I prefer it to Spotify because you can make your own album covers & it’s easier to share (not everyone has spotify) so, it’s fun! Thanks for the compliments. 🙂 Maybe you’ll enjoy my next Musical Monday post!
