It’s that time of year again. Whether it’s Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Winter Solstice, Seasons Greetings, or Happy Holidays – most of us, with the help of commercial retail, are getting into some kind of holiday spirit! (Unless you’ve chosen to side with the grinch) 🙂 The weather has finally cooled off in LA, fireplaces are turned up, iced coffees have been traded for hot cocoa, (you now think it’s ok to put a cute little sweater on your dog-ok maybe that’s just me) and holiday lights paint city with an angelic glow. In this post I am going to list my favorite Holiday music, including Hotel Cafe’s Wintersongs from 2008. Enjoy and stay warm!
