Christmas Tradition: Hot Wassail

First things first, Merry Christmas from the Sisters at Fry Sauce & Grits!
Here at the Craig home we have a Christmas tradition of making hot wassail every Christmas Eve. So I thought I'd share with you this family recipe -- it is the season of giving, afterall! I always grew up drinking this citrus-y drink every Christmas, and since, it has become a staple to the Christmas Season.

The Six Worst Christmas Songs of All Time

When it comes to Christmas music, I think that things are black or white.  It's either good, or it's terrible.  I think we all dread hearing certain songs on the radio every Christmas Season.  In an effort to raise awareness, I decided to make a list of the worst Christmas songs ever.  I would like to suggest our culture divorce itself from these terrors.

You know it's the holiday season when you can hear The Carpenter's "Christmas Portrait" blaring through the halls at the Craig home.

Whether you are looking for a classic Christmas album, or a more contemporary take on the carols of old, I've rounded up a list of six Christmas albums that will spruce up your holiday season.

A Back To School Playlist

If you haven't already started school or sent your littles off, I'm sure that you're gearing up for the big plunge into the back to school phenomenon.

This school year will be my last of my undergraduate...I'm nervous and excited, but mostly nervous.
As said before, music is not only my major, but also my number one hobby slash creative outlet.  What better way to deal with the stress than to make a back to school playlist?
Whether you're too cool for school or a rock solid scholar, here are some tunes I put together to make going back just a little bit better.

What type of artists have you been tuning into lately?  Are there any new or upcoming people I should know about?
