SO happy to have another mix to enjoy. Great idea to leave the other one up too. :)
Guess what's playing at my house today? This mix is so great!
I'm a sucker for good Christmas music. :) My favorite Christmas tradition is picking out a yummy smelling LIVE Christmas tree with the kiddos and bringing it home to decorate.
I love the tradition of leaving the tag on our fresh Christmas tree. Its important to let the provenance of the tree be known. ;o)

AMAZING Playlist! karenstack02@gmail.com
I may just hang out here all day listening to this mix! My 5 year old loves Winter Song. Favorite tradition- a relaxed Christmas Eve with just my little family, new jammies for all, and reading the Christmas story in the Bible.
My favorite Christmas tradition is our sibling gift exchange.

I love our tradition of a Christmas Eve walk around the neighborhood to look at the Christmas lights. It's so peaceful and exciting seeing everyone else enjoying Christmas as well.

My favourite tradition is to read the Christmas story by the lights of the tree on Christmas Eve. Great mix!
I'm in serious need of some new Christmas music! My favorite tradition is waking up early Christmas morning to make sure the house is magical before my kids wake up. Love it.

I love your giveaways. So I have three brothers, and this will be the 5th year in a row (next year will be our last) that we've had a missionary out. Going to my parents' for the Christmas Day phone call has become our new favorite family tradition!
My favorite Christmas tradition is using a candle advent wreath and lighting one candle for each Sunday before Christmas. We sing Christmas songs, drink hot chocolate, and it brings a calm to the pre-holiday frenzy.

My favorite Christmas Tradition is making Filipino food on Christmas Eve. My mom is from the Philippines so we celebrate her on Christmas Eve and have a traditional Christmas dinner on Christmas Day.

Loving the mix. Last year Santa wrote a note to Ivy thanking her for the milk and cookies, and for being such a good girl. She carried it around for weeks. I'm looking forward to making it a tradition this year.
Reading from Luke 2 by the fireplace on Christmas Eve is my favorite Christmas tradition.

We always order Chinese for our Christmas Eve dinner. No stress, no clean up. It's perfect!
Making cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I only do it once a year but it is such a treat and we always look forward to it!
Favorite tradition: having soup with my Nana and Poppy at their house every Christmas Eve

Hi Marilyn,
We just got back from Mindy's private concert with Justin Hackworth ... it was DIVINE! My favorite Christmas tradition is making blankets and donating them to hospitals for little babies and children. One of the best feelings in the world!
It was so great to see you last week and catch up! My friend Millie said she got to meet you at Mindy's video shoot, isn't she so cool, and beautiful?!
Oh, and I need new Christmas music because the only one (yes ONE) I have is The Carpenters (I've had it since I can remember) and it's all scratched and skips songs. Not that it will make a difference, but just thought you should know how challenged I am in this department!

Now this is the Christmas mix I've been waiting for!!
Favorite Christmas tradition in our family is our whole entire family, about 30 of us, pile into a long flat bed trailer, decorated with lights and sparkly garland, and drive all over town carolling to friends and strangers. It is completely illegal, but we drive super slow and when we see a police officer, which we have several times, we just sing LOUDER!! We've never been stopped.
Thanks for another great mix!
Making gingerbread houses, Christmas Eve with my family all snug and warm in a cozy halls decked home eating traditional Christmas Eve food, with Dean Martin and Bing singing in the background.
My favorite Christmas tradition is when we gather on the four sundays before Christmas and sing carols and eat goodies. It's perfect!

I feel selfish entering since I already won once, but I loved the first one. My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas morning we have about 50 people over to my parents house and we cook breakfast for all of them and its so fun.
Oh I love this mix! My favorite tradition is pretty basic but it brings me such joy - sitting in front room with just the Christmas tree lights on (and the ones around the windows), and reading old Christmas stories. Christmas lights are the best.

ooh. have to enter - my sis (Mique) raaaves about your mixes.
favorite christmas tradition? mom's cherry cheese danish for breakfast! soo yummy!
My favorite tradition is celebrating each day in December with a little sweet treat. Its amazing how a Hershey's kiss can bring such excitement to a child and I love seeing her face light up over the surprise candy!

My favorite tradition is decorating the tree as a family complete with yummy snacks and great Christmas music. This would make a great mix for decorating next year!
A favorite Christmas tradition is our "Jesus Dinner". We have a special, fancy, candlelight dinner and set a place for Jesus. Kind of like His birthday dinner. Then we each take time and write down on a note card what our gift to the Savior is going to be for the following year. We keep them all in a little treasure box. It is so fun to look back and see how our gifts change from year to year.

fave Christmas tradition: idle isle candies. :) it's a secret recipe which my mom & her family got from their friends at the infamous Idle Isle Candy Shop while they were living in brigham city, ut. we only make them for the Christmas season....like yummy chocolate covered bites of the best frosting ever! (rolled in crushed cashews or almonds = Christmas perfection.)
anyhow, keeping my fingers crossed! :)

Love this playlist! Especially excited about Sleeping at Last. I love traditions that start spontaneously and all of a sudden you realize you can't live without them! That's how it is with Lindsay's annual Dec. trip to SLC. Whether 8 mos. pregnant or with a newborn in arms she shows up. The ritual includes shopping at 9th and 9th, hot chocolate somewhere, mittens and planning the perfect Christmas cards. I look forward to the day when she is shopping for her grandbabies with me!
