Wendy's Mix time.

Ben Folds snuck in a very good Christmas album this year.
His voice was already "Christmassy" in my brain ever since this one:

I actually bought that Ben Folds Xmas album on vinyl when I went to see him live a few weeks ago.... and I still haven't listened to the album.

Similar problem here, got at least 25 records sitting on the queue.

Instant classic just dropped

I'm looking forward to breaking out the Home Alone soundtrack and some Frank Sinatra / Rat Pack

What's everyone's favorite old-timey Christmas "hymn" type song (less "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" more "O Come All Ye Faithful")

O Holy Night, closely followed by God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

this was a good RM post, well done Past Me

I have a Christmas mix of like 40 songs I play to death each year but also these two albums that I think are great from start to finish.

Tony Bennett is awesome.

Leon Bridges and Norah Jones have released a new Christmas single 'This Christmas I'm Coming Home'. It's real smooth.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman is mine for sure. I started playing trumpet in 5th grade and that was one of the first songs we learned as a band followed by Good King Wenceslas, so it holds a special place in my heart

[Mecca]

My hot take is that “Fairytale of New York” is a slog to get through. Feels like the “die hard is a Christmas movie” take of Christmas music

I get why people like it but it has never clicked for me.

It's a nice song. I like the way it lifts during the "the boys in the NYPD choir..." part. It's also the only Christmas song I can think of with the word "faggot" in it
