holiday spirits. the tunage sort.

the holiday playlist total was a whopping 216 songs. i've narrowed it down to only 12 that i'll designate as the 2012 finalists. d will be subjected to listening to this collection for the next 96 hours. it's our first christmas together in the same city! i wanted to make a playlist that we could burn into our memories for the many years to come: 

"New Morning" - My Morning Jacket
"River" - Madeleine Peyroux & K.D. Lang
"Grow Til Tall" - Jonsi
"Cool Yule" - Louis Armstrong
"O Come, O Come Emmanuel" - Sufjan Stevens
"Winter Song" - Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson
"Winter Birds" - Ray LaMontagne
"Just Like Christmas" - Low
"Red Ribbon Foxes "- A Fine Frenzy
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - Coldplay
"Holy, Holy, Holy" - Sufjan Stevens
"Christmastime is Here" - Vince Guaraldi

    thanks, sweet friend! it's funny how you can forget about certain songs until reminded of them. i used to love the movie serendipity and purchased that soundtrack years ago. cool yule is on it. =) rest assured, i bought a few of these this morning and anticipate listening to them over the coming days. they will certainly cause me to think of you two celebrating your first christmas together in the big city!
    love you!
    Merry Christmas!
    p.s. the pictures certainly describe a very beautiful and COOOLLLLDDD city for spending the holiday. =)
