If the stress of the holidays makes you feel overwhelmed, then try my virtual getaway spot in northern Ireland. This Christmas playlist is an earthy gaelic experience that transports you to rolling hills, rocky shore banks, and deep forests. Your mind will travel to medieval times, and if you’re lucky you’ll find faeries and Christmas gnomes along the way. Loreena McKennitt’s music has always been some of my favorite, and her holiday rendition of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” is absolutely enchanting.
