Happy holidays!

With the holidays coming up, music and its incredible ability to create a warm and merry environment is especially important to me and to many other music lovers. Actually, I am currently listening to Christmas and holiday music at this moment. For this post, I'm going to give you guys some ideas on how to spread and share the merriment through music!

First, you might want to play holiday music on an instrument and/or sing for your family and friends. If you wish to purchase sheet music to learn, a helpful website is musicnotes.com.
This makes the environment interactive and fun in a positive way.

Next, you could spread the love by giving the gift of music to others who don't have access to it. A great way to do this is by giving musical gifts to a local and reputable shelter or foster home that accepts gifts.

Finally, as you might have noticed the hustle and bustle of the   holidays might get a bit crazy, so you could simply just try to   incorporate any aspect of music in the days ahead to bring joy.   While shopping for gifts, baking cookies, or even decorating your house festively, you could simply just listen to music. The       feelings that music can give alone are enough to spread the       happiness that comes with it.                                                                                          

I hope that this post helped you get inspired to include music in more ways when celebrating this holiday season. Thank you for reading!
