Kids love the holidays, especially Halloween. Many times we may even let them host a Halloween party for their friends, but what music shall they play. First thing to consider is songs that are age appropriate. Teenagers aren't going to want cute little Mickey Mouse songs. They will most likely be social outcasts after that. However, you don't want your little ones being too scared by the screaming sounds of teenagers preferred music tastes. Of course there are always albums with songs enjoyed by all ages.
