(Click image to download Christmas Mix for People Who Don’t Like Christmas Music)
Let me preface this with saying that I don’t really like Christmas or Christmas music very much. It’s really cliche and sentimental and I don’t like receiving gifts and would rather just eat cookies and I don’t like Tiny Tim. And if you’ve ever worked retail, then you probably don’t like Christmas music either. This mix is one part Christmas, one part secular winter season and four parts cool. This mix is my virtual gift to you. Happy travels and don’t fight with your families.
