Ahhh... holiday music. I'm a sucker for the classics. A remake rarely beats out the original recording. (Snoop Dogg Blue Christmas, anyone? Oy vey.)
When we were trimming the tree this week I started digging around for a playlist of cheerful holiday songs. So many of the classics (Let it Snow!) are love songs. Fine with me (I'm a sucker for those, too), but I can already imagine the protesting I'd get from the 1st - 3rd graders I work with. LOVE SONGS ARE EMBARRASSING when you're approximately 8 years old.
I didn't find the playlist I was looking for, so I made it. It's a medium-to-high energy playlist that captures the excitement of Christmas. It's perfect to play around the house, in a classroom, at a Christmas party, during that car ride to Grandma's house, etc.
You can stream this whole playlist on Amazon Music. I've done the work for you... it's a piece of cake!
