So I hesistate to write this because Becky has had a great thing going with her daily blogs, which have been fantastic. If you haven't read them, do it! But it's time for my annual Christmas playlist, as it is past Thanksgiving, and I want to share the joy with you. I've mixed things up a little this year, and searched pretty hard to find some good songs that people may not be familiar with. I've gone through literally hundreds of songs, but also note that my selection is fairly limited, and classics are all but absent in this playlist which does give me some cause for regret, but I figure a lot of people have those so I'm sure you can find them. Here goes!
1. Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
2. Holly Jolly Christmas - The Format
