Art Dump + Current Playlist

(BLOGMAS DAY 5)

happy haPPY HAPPY 8 days until Christmas!! Oh my goodness, the holiday season feels likes it’s disapearing so fast! We got done with school for Christmas break yesterday and I am so excited for the next couple of weeks… I have so much fun stuff coming up and what harm could half a month off school do anyone??!

I’m all decorated for Christmas now, but what’s the holiday season without a bit of festive music (or music of any kind for that matter)? I thought it would be fun to share everything I’m currently listening to, but I also recently made a bunch of my playlists on my spotify public so you can check them out if you like!! If not though, keep on reading because I’ll be sharing ton of my current faves!

I think the obvious place to start is Christmas music… I don’t actually listen to a tonnnn of Christmas music, but here’s a few of my 2021 fave festive tunes…
