It can be hard to get into the holiday spirit. People may cut you in line while you're doing your Christmas shopping. Traffic on the freeways might be worse than usual. Maybe it's too cold/rainy/snowy for you to enjoy yourself. Whatever the case, your Grinchy-ness won't be helped by listening to the same old Christmas songs you've been sick of since you were 7, let me help you with that! Here's about a CD's worth of songs to help you get in a merry holiday mood:
“Frosty The Snowman”- Banjo or Freakout
“Christmas Isn't Christmas”- The Boy Least Likely To
“I Wish It Was Christmas Today” Julian Casablancas (Saturday Night Live anyone?)
“Get Down For the Holidays” Jenny O
“Holiday Face” Dent May
“Snow Is Falling”- Darker My Love
“Christmas Don't Be Late”- Catwalk
“Winter Wonderland”- John Blaze. I actually couldn't find video on youtube, but you can find it (the second section, 5th song down) right http://www.indierockcafe.com/2010/12/s-25-mix-christmas-songs/ >here
