    This is a great holiday mix. You might just have inspired me to do the same thing. :)

    Great mix! I was thinking about doing this very thing just this morning - seeing your list may be the inspiration I need to actually get off my butt and *do* it.

    Glad to hear that so many people liked the holiday mix. I’m ridiculously anal about what I consider the “definitive” versions of Christmas songs, so this CD spares me the mental anguish of turning on the radio and hearing Mariah Carey sing “White Christmas.” ;)

    Nice! Any chance you’d post some mp3s? I’m rather fond of #8 at the moment. :)
