Hello everyone!
November is here and what an exciting time it is! Perhaps not so much for the fact that we just took our clocks back an hour due to daylight savings time ending this past Sunday, but for the fact that we are approaching this wonderful next few weeks of preparations and celebrations, and as we get closer to the holidays.
As well all know, one of the things that makes the month of November so emblematic and special is Thanksgiving, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing families and friends together for an occasion of joy, peace and thankfulness?
Last year was undoubtedly a strange one, a year where we couldn’t celebrate as most of us would have wanted, but as we keep riding the train back to normality with beautiful times ahead, we want to take this opportunity and wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Our Thanksgiving Playlist!
Thanksgiving is often seen as a feast, from eating Turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes, to pecan pie, apple pie and pumpkin pie, to name a few. But what about musical traditions in Thanksgiving?
Well, the truth is that we don’t have a staple song or a particular sound when it comes to Thanksgiving music, unlike we do with Christmas or Halloween, but we do have a number of tunes about food, family and gratitude that perfectly match the occasion!
So whether you are doing a big feast this year or keeping it on a small scale, here’s our Thanksgiving playlist made out of 24 songs that will surely cheer you up and create the perfect Thanksgiving setting and perhaps give you some inspiration to add some of your favorite tunes to the playlist for a perfect Thanksgiving celebration this year!
