The Christmas Mixtape

In the soulful words of James Brown, let's make Christmas mean something this year.

Around this time of year, I usually hear a handful of joyless Debbie Downers talk about how much they “hate” Christmas music, as if Christmas music was a genre. It’s not. It’s a subject. Holiday songs come in all forms and styles. Below is a mixtape of just a handful of some of my favorites from several different genres and eras. I hope you’ll discover something you like, or rediscover an old favorite.

Here’s hoping you and yours have a peaceful and delightful holiday season, and don’t let the sourpusses steal your joy.

Apple users can access the Christmas Mixtape here.

This mixtape is ever-growing, so be sure to save it and / or check back often during the holidays. Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!
