The Upside: Holiday 12.05.18
The December holidays have begun! As a member of a multi-faith household, I'm always on the search for new, offbeat holiday songs to keep us going through the season.
This week I'm playing a great playlist of songs that celebrate Hanukah, Yule, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. I'm focusing on less-commonly heard tracks, covers from unexpected places, and some stuff that's just too upbeat to miss!
