Hi friends,
Have you checked out the #MerryBlogmas link parties yet? There’s some awesome creativity happening over there! To celebrate Blogmas in my own way, and continue with my Holiday Hootenanny, I’ve decided to post once a day leading up to Christmas! This week’s party is all about lifestyle so get ready for some fun (and somewhat random) Christmas lifestyle posts headed your way!

Christmas music is my favorite kind of music and I’ll listen to it maaaaany times throughout the year. Except, I tend to favor the more “non-traditional” songs. Don’t get me wrong, I love the traditional classics (Bing Crosby is bae), but my other favorite kind of music is alternative / indie so I really love finding bands that I already follow that either did covers of the classics in their style, or wrote their own.
It’s very rare that I find an album where I like every single song, but with my Christmas music I have 3. With songs, however, I have many, many, many favorites, but I’m just going to list my top 20. Both the albums and songs are in order of awesomeness and you should definitely check them out!
