Thank y’all for programming this special edition of Mix Tape Not-Friday. Some of these were planned for later this week, but I thought it would be more fun to Casey Kasam this playlist. There will be one or two more Christmas-themed mix tapes before The Big Day, so we may crash MyDataB*tch.
Happy Christmas!

you rock so hard! Thanks!
Fairytale of New York always works for me. . . Love that Kinks' "Father Christmas" and, well, the whole shabang . . .!
*sigh*
So I have maybe one song left to post for Volume II of my paltry mix?
I stole Glenn from you, you stole all the Christmas songs from me...we're even, sister.
Brilliant work Beth. Thanks!
Nice collection!
Even Little Steven's Underground Garage has been getting into the act-- Darlene Love ("I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus"), Keith Richards version of "Run, Run Rudolph" and Chuck Berry's original and James Brown's "Santa Claus Come down to the Ghetto."
