It's Christmas Party Time

Perhaps the best part about the holidays is the get-togethers with friends and family, and content producer Bridgette Williams has some great suggestions about what you should listen to at these festivities. One of her top picks is "Rock & Roll Christmas" by George Thorogood. Bridgette offers detailed recommendations about what music you might want to start your party off with, and even what you might want to play after the kids are asleep.

Writer LetsGetGreen gives us an article on party songs that is nicely broken down into sections. There's a pretty extensive collection to check out, including an adult's sections that recommends Mariah Carey's 1994 hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You." And Katie Duzan shows us what she thinks are the "Ten Best Christmas Party Songs." This lively list would surely lighten the mood of a holiday gathering and features picks like "Joy to the World" by Natalie Cole.

A good Christmas party playlist should not only rock, but it should also be well balanced. At least that's what content producer Lenora Murdock thinks.

You'll definitely find some picks here that will put a smile on any child's face.

Kids might also enjoy the Christmas playlist that Cami Micheals put together. She emphasizes that these are particularly fun songs, and this claim is supported by many of the classics she included such as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." Content producer Kristine Brite is also kind enough to share a collection of songs that were a part of some of her childhood memories. She calls it her "...Soundtrack to the Holidays," and each entry includes a description of the thoughts and memories it brings.
