Are you tired of Christmas music yet? Even though we started in the beginning of November, I am absolutely not tired of listening to Christmas music everywhere we go. We have it playing all day every day and I completely love everything about it! When Waverley starts fussing for unknown reasons, 99% of the time bursting into “Jingle Bells” quickly alleviates her whining. She loves giggling to “HEY!”. (I only wish I could carry a tune. Sometimes my own singing voice makes me cringe.) Despite her love of Jingle Bells, Nate’s and my Christmas playlist is not childish or overrun with overly traditional takes. We veer towards a mix of classic yet modern remixes. I promise, these songs will really help you get into the holiday spirit this week sans wanting to pull your hair out with overplayed cheesy music. All is bright, my friends:)
