Not really one for all the holiday hubub the Christmapodtacular has never actually featured Christmas music... until now. The main reason I switched it up this year is because I stumbled across Otis Redding's version of White Christmas and a Kermit Ruffins Christmas album in the same day and decided there has to be enough decent music out there to actually do a holiday album. So I suppose it was a challenge of sorts to find the goodins mixed in with all the same ol crap. Well, there are some standbys on here, but I couldn't really resist putting Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash in this episode.
Think of this playlist as a fine alternative to the same ol same ol Xmas music you're usually forced to hear that may perk you up enough to deal with those family members you're fine only seeing once a year, in-laws, or driving through traffic. Or maybe you love Christmas music and this'll fall into that line. Either way, hope you like it and happy holidays.
