a blue christmas playlist

It kind of hit me the other day that I really, really like melancholy christmas songs. Perhaps it's my moody Russian soul or the fact that I've had many a bittersweet christmas but for some reason they slightly sadder songs are the ones that really hit home with me. 

In case I'm not the only one (which I realize I totally might be) I thought I'd create a playlist of some of my favorites. They are each so beautiful and heartbreaking and celebrate the season in a different way - by tugging on my heartstrings and putting a lump in my throat. 

So grab some hot chocolate and enjoy these by the fire's glow!
