The City of Tampa haslaunched a Spotify playlist to help spread cheer this holiday season.
The playlist includes favorites like Feliz Navidad and Deck the Halls, but also some songs specific to our current COVID-19 situation like Quarantine Christmas and Christmas Will be Different this Year.
It's an offshoot of the #HappyATHomeTPA campaign started earlier this year.
“This holiday season, we want folks to remember what truly matters: the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those we love most,” says Mayor Jane Castor. “No one wants to start the new year feeling sick, in a hospital, or potentially on a ventilator. By being responsible and celebrating the holidays safely from home, we can protect our family members, our friends, our neighbors and our community. While ‘home for the holidays’ may look different this year, we are lucky that there are so many great ways to celebrate the season here in Tampa.”
