Lately, I’ve been kicking off my mornings and wrapping up my evenings by listening to the soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas. It fills me with positivity during the day and relaxes me at night. My baby likes it too. He moves around in my tummy when he hears it. Move over Baby Einstein and Mozart! Little Timmy’s stimulated by Christmas songs!
I put the whole album on repeat. At work, I close my office door lest my colleagues think I’m going cuckoo with the holiday songs already. I just can’t get enough of “Christmas Time is Here.” Have a listen here and be relaxed. Wait, grab your glass of wine (hot chocolate with marshmallows for me), dim the lights, sit on the couch, put your feet up. Now listen.
Now don’t you feel so relaxed too? And don’t you wish it were Christmas already? 
What music do you listen to when you want to relax?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

i do listen to new age music, it’s like the meditation channel, very soft calming music. i love songs from the old hymnals too, brings me back to my childhood every time i listen to it.
last week i just asked kj what kind of tree are we getting this christmas…he told me it’s only summertime, it’s too far off to plan for christmas. hehe
