Little lights with music

Around this time of the year, every year, a lovely little memory creeps in. On a school nite when I was 14, I bundled up and hoped in my friend Jenny's mom's minivan. She drove us around to look at Chirstmas lights. Jenny played a mix tape. This song came on:

I fell in love. The song was slow and sad and haunting, which was perfect for me at the time :)

Then this song came on:

Of course I was swooning inside because it was so sweet and kinda sad as well. I loved looking at all of the lights listening to these songs. It is one of my favorite memories from growing up. I love how it still makes me feel a little bit of magic when I think about that time. Can't wait to drive around and look at lights this year.
On the mix tape will probably be:

Still sad and sweet. I haven't changed too much I suppose!
