30 Days of Christmas Cheer {Day 10}: Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

30 Days of Christmas Cheer Christmas Music

“If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.”~ Nicholas Sparks

“Sleigh bells ring… are you listening?”

Yes, Christmas cheer in a large part, comes from listening to… wait for it… Christmas music!!

Music is a HUGE part of our family’s Christmas traditions. We rock and roll with Christmas music starting, yes, in November!

There is just something so festive, cheery and happy about listening to Christmas music that it warms the heart and melts the soul!

Creating Childhood Memories and Traditions Activity

There are 2 things that our family does when it comes to Christmas music.

The first thing is popping it on when we start decorating the house. Yes, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree is the first song that we play and I dance around with Finlee and Chloe.

We continue with Christmas music through out the house while we bake, clean and also while we’re in the car. The kids and I love it, my husband on the other hand… not so much.

But honestly, it’s a sweet tradition that all of us look forward to.

The other thing we do is make a CD with all our favourite songs from the year. That’s right. They aren’t “technically” Christmas music but this is a tradition we’ve followed for years and it is our family Christmas music CD.

Since the kids are still little, it’s a little tricky as they don’t know the names, but there are plenty of giggles and I’m most excited to see how this tradition continues when we’re older.

Our Christmas cheer challenge for you today is to choose either of the options to enjoy music around the house.

You can dig out your fave Christmas songs and start playing them from a certain day onwards. Or you can compile a non-Christmassy but still family-loved songs playlist from the entire year!

Either way, remember to keep rockin’ and rollin’. Listening to holiday music will definitely be a cherished memory for the kids and something they’ll look forward to every year.
