Rocking around the Christmas tree.

Everyone else seems to be posting up their "Best of 2006" lists, yet I prefer to wait until the year is actually over to start on that mess. Call me crazy. But as my insomnia was kicking my ass last night, I had to find something to exhaust my brain. So what did I do? I updated my holiday mix and recorded it for you all.

I did one last year and used it as a place holder for this site until it was officially born, but since many of you weren't readers back then... I figured I'd reuse many of the same songs but with an updated touch. So some of you reading this may recognize some of these selections from last year.

Feel free to download and burn it, give it to the ones you love, stream it in the background during your holiday festivities, or just download the individual songs you like from the mix. Either way... enjoy, and have a happy Chrismahanukwanzakah and new year!

Here's a great, short Xmas film that uses the Waitresses song - not at all sappy and with a great twist:
