Songs to Help Get Ready for the Holidays

Holidays are coming and what better way to get ready for the celebrations ahead than with music. Here’s a playlist we put together to get ready for the family fun time coming up.

1) Pharrell Williams – Happy


 
The title says it all! Get happy to have some vacation and see your loved ones with this upbeat tune that will have you tapping your toes all the way to grandma’s house!

2) Nina Simone – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood


 
Seeing family can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a little stressful, especially when it comes to family disagreements! Whether it’s politics or pop culture, Nina Simone’s anthem will help you remember that misunderstandings can happen to anyone and it’s important to keep your cool.

3) Diana Krall – Just The Way You Are


 
Everyone’s family has its quirks and difficulties, but we love them anyway. Even when they are driving you crazy, just remember how much you were looking forward to seeing them, take a deep breath, and go with the flow. This song will help you remember that you just have to take them for who they are.

4) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough


 
This song is an ode to the journey you’re taking to visit family during one of the worst times of year to travel! When you’re waiting on the airport security line, stuck in traffic, or standing on a crowded smelly bus, listen to this song and remember that nothing will stand between you and your destination!

5) Scissor Sisters – Take Your Mama


 
We don’t know about you, but we think the holidays are a time for celebration and joy, and that means partying with your parents! Let loose and have fun with your family, after a few glasses of eggnog even your oldest relatives may be ready to let their hair down and have a little fun!

6) Sister Sledge – We Are Family


 
There comes a point in every family gathering when you might throw up your hands and say, “why am I here with these people??”. Well Sister Sledge is here to remind you that you’re family! You’ve got everyone together and that’s a reason to celebrate! Even if your little nephew threw up on your new shirt and your aunts and uncles are driving you batty.

7) John Coltrane – My Favorite Things


 
It’s time to head home, but don’t forget your haul of presents! Enjoy a little John Coltrane as you decide which of your new gifts are your favorite things.
