Well, folks, the holiday season is fast approaching, and it’s almost time to stuff your face with all of your Thanksgiving favorites. Around this time, it’s good to give thanks to the ones you love and appreciate the little things about this amazing university. It also never hurts to have a little background music!

There’s a lot to be thankful for! Meatball Monday, front porches, the fact that we already got a snow delay in November, Terry Smith, and that we finally have a break from class for the first time in three months!

You might be wondering, “What really is a Thanksgiving playlist?” Well, we’ve got you covered with the perfect songs to wrap up fall and get into the Christmas spirit! With songs like “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” by Vince Guaraldi, and “Thank You For The Music,” by ABBA, all the way to “Holly Jolly Christmas,” by Micheal Bublé, and “Underneath The Tree,” by Kelly Clarkson, this playlist is sure to get you in the perfect holiday spirit to spend time with those you love!

Happy listening, folks, and have a very happy Thanksgiving!
