Even if they won't admit it, most everybody loves some form of holiday music. I spent some time putting together what I think is a good mix of tunes to go with a Merry Christmas ("Zat You Santa Claus") to a not-so-Merry Christmas ("Don't Shoot Me Santa"). It's also got something from local holiday singing legend, B.E. Taylor and an almost six-minute version of "Angels We have Heard on High" by Donnie Iris and the Cruisers. Also, no letters, I know "Hazy Shade of Winter" isn't a Christmas song, but I fucking like it!
So sit back, listen and have a great holiday... Or don't, who are we to tell you what to do. Either way, we've got you covered.
