Blog reader Mary emailed me yesterday asking about my Christmas playlist. I l-o-v-e to geek out by making playlists for any occasion I can think of (Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, having friends over for pizza, anything). And when it comes to Christmas, I have a few playlists, organized by mood. (See? I wasn’t kidding about the geeking out.) These are some of my favorite highlights. And since I don’t want to post repeats — that would be hacky — here’s a link to the playlist I posted last year, which is still very much in the rotation this year.

I also threw in a taste of the Carwiles, a Kentucky-based couple who happen to be two of the most renowned bluegrass artists in the nation.So here’s my Thanksgiving Dinner Playlist:
