2012 Christmas Playlist

Our team collected a playlist of our favorite holiday tunes to welcome the season. Some of us have had enough self control to wait for the 1st of December (today), while the rest of us have admittedly been listening to these for weeks already. We'd love to hear your favorites below if you share them in a comment.

"Snow" by Sleeping at Last. It's beautiful and sure to be a Christmas classic for me in the years to come. Give it a listen and enjoy! Merry Christmas!

It's a lovely playlist! thanks a lot.
It makes Xmas in Argentina a lot more likeable since we don't have the snow! ;)

Thanks - great compilation! and I agree with Kelseab, here in Argentina it is just that little bit more difficult to get all seasonal! Enjoy!!

Great playlist. Especially the Harry Connick Jr. and She & Him tracks. Both lovely renditions of classics, and being in NYC right now for our first Christmas season, it fits the vibe.

I was surprised to find that I already have so many of those songs. You must have been reading my mind. I also love the suggestion of "Snow" - just downloaded it to add to my own playlist. Can't wait until my Christmas issue arrives in the mail!
