I make a new holiday playlist each year.
We had dinner here at our house last night.
My brother in law did not like my music, he probably wanted something more traditional--but my kid and I did (husband and sis-in-law were neutral.)
This was what I came up with this year. It *is* in a bit higher gear than some may prefer. I do like the traditional stuff, but a little of it goes a long way with me.
I've been listening to this list since the day after Thanksgiving.
Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight) ~ The Ramones
Nutmeg ~ Colbert and John Legend
White Christmas ~ the Flaming Lips
Christmas Wrapping ~ the Waitresses
Can I Interest You in Hanukkah? ~ Jon Stewart and Colbert
Christmas Island ~ Jimmy Buffet
Winter Wonderland ~ Eurythmics
Gospel ~ MarchFourth Marching Band
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ~ Bela Fleck and Flecktones
Hot Christmas ~ Squirrel Nut Zippers
Please Be Patient ~ Feist
What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding ~ Colbert, Costello etc
River ~ Travis
I like Joni Mitchell's original River the best, but Travis does a very nice cover.
