Another journalism issue means ‘tis the season to listen to music. Welcome back to another Spellbinder playlist. As the holiday season approaches us and the decade is coming to an end, we have two themes for this month. Our first theme consists of our favorite holiday songs (most are Christmas songs), while the second theme consists of our “favorite” song of the past decade since it’s coming to an end. What this means is that each staff member has each chosen one song released anytime from 2010-2019. At the end there will be some honorable mentions for decade-defining songs that didn’t make it on the playlist. There will be two separate playlists, one for each theme. All songs can be found on Spotify unless otherwise stated. We hope you enjoy this holiday/nostalgic playlist. Merry holidays everyone! Happy listening!
