Every year I get hooked on soma.fm’s Christmas Lounge.
There’s loads of standards and some remixes. Lots of electronic covers with echos of Christmas past, such as King Kooba playing O Christmas Tree.
There’s a newer channel I need to try, “A Department Store Christmas”. It’s all elevator music. It sounds simultaneously dull and hypnotically nostalgic.

cuts to me wearing a gas mask … Really?
(I’m just kidding.)
Brave Combo has become a cherished part of my holidays –
Because I spent ten years in retail and long ago exceeded the recommended lifetime exposure limit to most of the Christmas standards, I present…

I absolutely love The Boss’s rendition of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town Clarenace’s sax is so good and he even gets some vocals!
