There are so many great songs on Oh Tannenbaum! 2014, but it will always be tinged with sadness for me. My mom died unexpectedly just before Thanksgiving making the entire holiday season incredibly tough. In her honor, mom makes the cover (kissing Santa Claus, no less) and the playlist brings together clever new songs, incredible “oldies” and a few traditional favorites. Just like she’d like.
