The Christmas Awesomeness Playlist

I can’t get enough Christmas music. From December 1-25 all podcasts, audiobooks and new releases are put on hold while I ear-binge all the holiday music. I love it all: Jazz, Punk, goth, metal, Indie, Classic Country, Rockabilly, Rap, Hip-Hop, Soul, and even outsider music! I put together an 8 hr shuffle mix of some Christmas awesomeness that is great for car trips, housework, and all manner of adult holiday gatherings.
