Please enjoy my Chronological Christmas playlist, made with love just for you (link at the bottom). Happy Christmas week! DRINK YOUR MORNING CUPPA TO: JONI MITCHELL River I wish I had a river I could skate away on might be how you actually feel about Christmas, but hopefully between that jingle bells riff in the piano intro and Jonis soprano you ease out of it! One of the highlights of her 1971 classic album Blue. GUESTS ARRIVE HEARING: SHE & HIM Ill Be Home for Christmas Those dulcet Zoe Deschanel vocals over M. Wards sweet guitar tones and distant bells. This track is mistletoe in musical form. EXCHANGE GIFTS TO: RUN DMC Christmas in Hollis It was December 24th on Hollis Ave after dark When I seen a man chilling with his dog at the park I approached them very slowly with my heart full of fear Looked at his dog, oh my God, a ill reindeer SET THE TABLE WITH: SUFJAN STEVENS Come on! Lets Boogey to the Elf Dance! Your sisters bangs - she cut them herself… Kmart is closed… its everything you love about Sufjan, but pine scented. EAT THAT HAM OR TOFURKEY TO: TLC Sleigh Ride 90s nostalgia. When I hear this song I imagine having Christmas whilst living inside Full House. WASH UP/RECYCLE YOUR GIFT WRAP TO Kanye West Christmas in Harlem Featuring Vado, Teyana, Camrom, Big Sean, Pusha T, Cyhi the Prynce, Musiq, Jim Jones, its a wonderful night to be alive, baby. Youve never heard Kanye so cheery. PLAY LOUDLY TO DROWN OUT RELATIVES AWKWARD OR PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE COMMENTS WITH JACKSON 5 Santa Claus Is Coming to Town Hes making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out whos naughty and nice… Maybe theyll take the hint. RESET THE MOOD WITH: THE BEACH BOYS Little Saint Nick If The Beach Boys cant do it, no one can. FORCE/BRIBE THE MOST TONE DEAF PERSON IN THE ROOM TO DO KARAOKE TO: MARIAH CAREY Oh Holy Night (or any Mariah Christmas song, actually) Mariah could easily have at least half the spots on this list but I restrained myself from that extreme predictability and chose just this one… maybe the ultimate Christmas karaoke diva jam. Hand the mic to Uncle Bob with a few egg nogs under his belt and you wont be sorry. DO A TOASTING ROUND BEFORE BLARING: THE POGUES Fairy Tale of New York Cos its the best. open.spotify/user/brookefraser_nz/playlist/0rqcGAagce3hXB8sbkKBOV
