Take the Stress Out of Holiday Shopping

Create a Stress-Free Shopping Playlist

Bring your iPod or MP3 player with you while you shop. Create a playlist that includes music that soothes you. No, it doesn’t have to be Christmas classics, but that might help get you in the holiday-shopping mood.

Here are our staff favorites:
Joe Gransden, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
James Taylor, “Fire and Rain.”
Colbie Caillat, “Mistletoe”
Vince Guaraldi Trio, “Linus and Lucy”
Emmy Rossum, “Slow Me Down”
