December Spotify | WISH
Last year we left our winter holiday wishes to Neil Gaiman and as it turns out, no one has figured out how to say things better than he does. So once more…
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art—write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
Courtney’s Picks:
This year Christmas, like progress, is quiet and slow. Whatever your year has brought you I hope your winter holidays are kind. I hope you have the space to rest. I hope you know you bring value to this wide and wild world. I hope you end your year and begin the new knowing you are loved.

Kelsey’s Picks
The happiness that Christmas music brings is truly unattainable during any other part of the year. After Thanksgiving, there is nothing better than turning on your favorite Christmas playlist and decorating your house for all the holiday festivities. While I do love all of the Christmas classics, I thought I would add two new ones that I have added to my personal holiday playlist this year. Cheers to all and have a great holiday season!
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Sam Smith
Make it To Christmas, Alessia Cara
Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Bruce Springsteen
What Christmas Means to Me, Stevie Wonder
Rochelle’s Picks:
I absolutely LOVE Christmas music. It is joyful, it is uplifting, it is hopeful, and most of all it is timeless. During other seasons when I need a bit of a pick-me-up, a Christmas song is usually all I need to lift my spirits. I also love that my favorite Christmas songs never seem to get old and every year I pull out my favorite records (playlists), dust them off, and enjoy them over and over again. These four songs have been on repeat in my car and in my head since the day following Thanksgiving which is my official kickoff for the Christmas season. I hope they give you as much joy as they have given me this year.
