Trimming the Tree Playlist

Really good Christmas music is one of my favorite things on Earth. Really BAD Christmas music is probably one of the worst. We went ahead and made an Assemble "Trimming the Tree" playlist for you all to enjoy while you're doing just that, making ornaments, or just hanging out with a glass of wine. Tis the season!

Cookin' & Bakin' Playlist

I don't know about you, but my favorite part of gearing up for the holidays is hanging out in the kitchen with my apron on, glass of wine in hand, cooking and/or baking. I usually don't even end up eating what I make, but it's one of those things that just makes me happy. Usually, I'll use a Pandora station, but lately I've been creating my own mixes. Here's one I cooked up just for you guys, for when you're busy in the kitchen. It's full of all of my happy favorites that go perfectly with a Kitchenaid and a Pinot Noir. Enjoy!
