Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the year, but it's passed over so quickly in favor of Christmas by so many Americans now. Heck, seems like Christmas starts as soon as Halloween is over nowadays. I think it's time to slow things down and really appreciate how wonderful this holiday is with some fantastic Thanksgiving music. Yep, believe it or not, there are some good tunes you can play on Thanksgiving that are not silly Adam Sandler songs. I'll start with The Man in Black himself,

Looking to replace all that dreadful early Christmas music with some music that's more Thanksgiving-y? Check out Retro Obscuro's playlist of 50s-60s songs about food! With classics like:
"Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)", "Bread & Butter", "If I Knew You Were Coming I’d Had Baked A Cake" and a song I won't be singing for Thanksgiving, "I Love Onions".

Here's something completely different! A Celtic Thanksgiving podcast. Great for people who love toe-tapping Celtic folk that evokes images of beautiful fall days, harvest time, and lots of songs about turkey.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostIf I'm honest, I'm not big on Christmas. Though the 25th is obviously an old church tradition, I think it's more likely Jesus was born in the Spring or Summer (a date I've heard bandied about decades ago was Sept. 11th, 3 BC, based on star charts, but that seems a bit too specific). Mostly I can't stand the commercialization of the holiday, and I think it's...strange? regrettable maybe? that so much is made of Christmas when we don't see this same sort of attention to Pasha, which the earliest church seemed to hang so much more importance on.Enter the Church and wash away your sins.
