a Christmas playlist for a snowy afternoon
The waxen winter sky has been unloading snow on us for the last two days. It’s noon on day three, and there’s no sign it is going to stop anytime soon. (Global warming who??) The monochromatic wilderness outside right now, so silent but so salient, is standing still. White frosted icicles hang from the sill of our bedroom window, the frozen ground lies below a lambent white winter blanket, trees sluggishly sag with the weight of pounds and pounds of wet white snow, occasionally dumping it all from its branches; they shake like a dog. The weather outside is frightful? A wonderland surely.
What better time to post a little holiday playlist. Below are a handful of Christmas songs we’ve gathered over the years, mostly adorable indie gems. Check em out!! Happy holidays from Kickin’ the Peanuts!
