Comment:

subtitled "Holiday Music That Doesn't Make Me Want to Puke" :-)

The more time I spe_nd in retail establishments in December, the more I want to go running out of them, because of the repetitive music they all play. I thought that maybe I've become Scrooge, but then I realized that there are some good holiday tunes out there - but the stores and radio stations (with a few exceptions) don't play them. This is a mix of stuff that I can actually listen to happily.

I could have included all of Bruce Cockburn's "Christmas" and Low's "Christmas," which are my two favorite holiday albums, but I decided to go for more variety.
