Dinner under the stars on a snowy night in January!
Read MoreNessa's Christmas Party Music Mix
Music sets the mood at a party and the holidays are no different. I actually experience a feeling bordering on anxiety when I’m at an event or party and the room is quiet like a library until people’s conversations fill the air. The right background music when people arrive soothes the savage beast, as they say, and sends a cue to your guests that your party is meant to be fun. Singing along is encouraged.
This mix is equal parts Christmas tunes and classic jazz vocals, so it appeals to both cool cocktail crowds and your friend who puts her tree up on November 15th! ~ Nessa
