With Thanksgiving approaching on Thursday, Americans across the country are starting to embark on their journeys home for quality family time, copious amounts of delicious food and football.
Travel can be so dreadful during the holidays that it's easy to forget the comforts of home (even though you may be ready to leave after a few days' worth of nagging from mom and dad and uncomfortable jokes from your tipsy uncle).

So to avoid wanting to leave even before you arrive, turn on our homeward-bound Music Monday playlist and get excited about returning to your old stomping grounds.

Have something to add to this playlist? Share it with us in the comments below or on Spotify and we'll add it to the playlist.
1. To follow Mashable on Spotify, click here. If a popup window asks you to launch an external application, accept. This just means the browser will open up Spotify.
2. Follow Mashable or send us music by clicking "Send Music."
3. To send music while browsing tracks within Spotify, follow the MashableHQ account. Then right-click (ctrl + click) on the song you want to send and click the "Share" option.
4. By default, Spotify pulls up the "Post to Feed" option. Instead, select the "Send to Friend" tab, type in "MashableHQ" and hit the blue "Send" button.
If "MashableHQ" doesn't show up when you're trying to send a track, make sure you're following the account. If you're still having problems sending a song after that, let us know in the comments section below, and we'll help you fix the problem.
