Comment:

Some obvious choices, admittedly. However, they are obvious choices because they are timeless classics!
I presented a copy to my friends at the office yesterday, before we headed out for Thanksgiving and the post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping and decorating frenzy.Hopefully there is a little something for all tastes.

I hate to admit it, but I reckon I would play this in my taxi! I try to avoid the Christmas song thing, but if I had to make a mix myself, I doubt it would be better than this, Erik. Nicely done, and I particularly like the inclusion Of Chuck Berry and Brenda Lee.

Love Chuck Berry's Run Rudolph Run but there's a Keith Richard's version of this that is even better. Apart from that all that's missing for me is 2000 Miles - The Pretenders.
