As the sprouts simmer gently, the sweet smell of homemade cranberry sauce wafts through the air and the potatoes reach optimum crispiness, Manners McDade company director/master-chef, Bob McDade shimmies around the kitchen as the percussive beats and jazzy synth flourishes of Shitgeto’s Detroit Part 1 blast out of the speakers. Bob’s carefully crafted Christmas playlist fits perfectly to an energetic cooking session, getting Christmas dinner ready for the family.
Meanwhile, one room over, a glass of white cradled elegantly in her hand, Manners McDade company director/wine-connoisseur Catherine Manners reclines, allowing the soothing strings of Rachmaninoff to fill her ears. Catherine has arranged her Christmas playlist for some well-earned relaxation after a busy and successful year at Manners McDade.
So, whether you’re a Mr or a Mrs McDade, here is a Christmas playlist to suit you!
