It's that time of year, when I post Solstice songs! Every one you hear seems to say, "Happy Solstice! May your New Year's dreams come true!"
I have three playlists for you this time; the other two are in comments.
1. The first, Winter Solstice Songs, is Solstice-centric. There are some secular and Paganized classics but nothing that is likely to bother Pagans. (I know some people have Feelings about "Baby, It's Cold Outside" but I've read very convincing arguments in its favor and this one has a fun twist. Hit "Hide Song" if you're not a fan.) This playlist is meant to be played in order but you can shuffle it if you feel the need to mix it up.
2. The second, Yuletide Vibes, was originally made for a mixed gathering of my Pagan, Christian, and agnostic friends and family. I've also added some Chanukah and Kwanza songs to make it more broadly welcoming but I'm on the hunt for more because they're vastly outnumbered. This one is meant to be played on shuffle.
3. The third, Christmas Nostalgia, I made as a gift to my mom a few years ago. It's Christmas songs she and I listened to when I was a kid. I think anyone who has fond memories of the Christmas Classics will enjoy this one. It can be played with equal enjoyment, imo, in order or on shuffle.
The only one I've made a song list for (see comments) is Winter Solstice Songs because it's the one meant to be played in order and/or picked apart for the pieces that most suit your purposes.
I hope y'all enjoy and that your Solstice weekend is merry and bright!
