Retro Christmas Playlist

Before I can even remember listening to music, my mom had introduced my three brothers and I to classically good music by most people's standards.... well people that know good music.  I was the 7 year old singing Fleetwood Mac, Louis Armstrong, James Taylor, U2, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, CCR, I mean.... I could keep going, but I can also stop.  Basically I was exposed to all sorts of music from rock, classical + country (like Johnny Cash, DIxie Chicks good country) and like every genre... 40's music 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, (my mom hates the 80's but I love it!).  I could talk about music for a really long time, I just love it.

Coincidentally, I love Christmas music.  Usually when I tell people this they cringe and I just know that they are hearing "Grandma Got Run Over by Reindeer" or "The Christmas Song" sung by literally everyone and their mother on repeat or my personal favorite: "Feliz Navidad" (*sarcasm*).  I just know that is what you are thinking of!  But when I said I love Christmas music, this is NOT what I was talking about.  I am talking about retro, nostalgic, 40's, oldies Christmas songs.  I am talking about Bing and Louis and Ella and Billie and Doris Day (I just have to say her first and last name because its the cutest).  I am talking about "Little Jack Frost Get Lost."  I am talking about the old CD's they used to sell at Restoration Hardware before they completely rebranded that store.  I am talking about.... ok let me show you.  I made you a playlist and I hope you listen to it.  It feels bouncy and its sounds sparkly.  If you know half of these songs I am really impressed and excited!

So here you have it... My "Not Your Average Christmas Playlist" Playlist!

enjoy!

Love, Kait
