This year I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, my husband’s family, and his grandmother. Along with the place setting design and dinner menu, it is important to have a playlist that sets the right vibe. I knew that I needed a chill Thanksgiving playlist that had something for everyone. Inspired by Amazon Prime’s “All Acoustic” music station, I decided to choose mostly acoustic tracks across the last seven decades of music. I also included some relevant country tracks for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s musical tastes. The nostalgic but fresh feel give this playlist the name “Thanksgiving: Travels & Tales”. I look forward to our first ever Thanksgiving in our newly, completely remodeled home!
