Jon Acuff posted that quote a week before Halloween. I saw it, took a mental note, and added that to my "to blog about" list. I did some research, my holiday loving friends. Since my mom is a firm believer in not playing Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, I want to be sure to have a Thanksgiving playlist prepped.  I feel like the event should have an amazing soundtrack going, but Thanksgiving has always been a challenging holiday to plan music for because there isn't a list of popular Thanksgiving hits. Low and behold, Billboard.com has that list. As Billboard describes this list, "This is music about food, giving thanks, and the holiday." Not only are these songs upbeat and fun, but they are perfect for the season of thanks and giving! Think of this list as the pre-game to your ultimate Christmas playlist!
