Should you need something to drown out the in-laws, listen to while opening presents, or just road trip music in the spirit of the holidays, this here is your mix. It was difficult not to simply post Guest DJ Logan Ryan Smith's
A Very Jazzy Christmas (and maybe I will next year), but there were far too many gems to be found on Spotify to pass by. Some Christmas standbys like Ella, Bing, and Sufjan are here as always, but I was quite pleased to stumble across Grace Potter and The Nocturnals' rendition of "Please Come Home For Christmas," and Luke's "Mele Kelikimaka."
If you have some favorites that were missed, just leave em in the comments below (or on Facebook or Twitter) and we'll get em in next year. Some suggestions would make building this playlist go by a whole hell of a lot faster in 2015.
Have a happy and safe holiday season! See you in 2015 for the very special 75th episode!
