Christmas Mix Tape

At my last job I got the idea of putting up some in-house "radio stations" on our network to try to minimise the amount of bandwidth being used by staff listening to internet radio. I experimented with Christmas music because it happened to be "that most wonderful time of the year." The result was that I accumulated a lot of Christmas CDs. Many of these collections contained some of the same songs, sometimes even by the same artist.

Last year I looked at my pile of discs and decided to create "one good one." Here's my current "holiday" playlist:

1. Sleigh Ride - Ella Fitzgerald w. The Frank DeVol Orchestra
2. Song For A Winter's Night - Sarah McLachlan
3. The Huron Carol - Toronto Children's Chorus
4. 2000 Miles - The Pretenders
5. A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
6. Christmas Time - Smashing Pumpkins
7. It's A Marshmallow World - Kim Stockwood
8. River - Travis
9. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Heather, Cookie & Raylene Rankin
10. Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
11. Oíche Chiún (Silent Night) - Enya
12. My Favorite Things - The Supremes
13. Children Go Where I Send You - Heather, Cookie & Raylene Rankin
14. Jingle Bells - Diana Krall
15. Someday At Christmas - Stevie Wonder
16. The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) - Nat King Cole
17. Linus And Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio
18. Christmas Time is Here - Diana Krall
19. Winter Wonderland - The Funk Brothers

Don't get me started on those radio stations that convert to "All Christmas" for the month of December though. Disgusting!

Listening to: O Holy Night by Tracy Chapman from A Very Special Christmas, Volume 3.
