December Music Guide: Get Merry
It’s more than officially time to turn up the carols. But if you’re wishing for more options than the FM dial can provide, this is the holiday mix for you. This year, I’ve compiled some non-traditional Christmas tunes. You can preview this festive mix here.
1. “Christmas Song” by Mogwai
2. “The Blizzard” by Camera Obscura
3. “When I Get Home for Christmas” by Snow Patrol (listen here)
4. “Icicles” by Let’s Go Sailing
5. “Christmas” by Rogue Wave
6. “Anorak Christmas (Piano Mix)” by Sally Shapiro
7. “O Come O Come Emmanuel” by Rosie Thomas
8. “Evergreen” by The Fiery Furnaces
9. “Holiday Song” by The Finches (listen here)
10. “Jeanette, Isabella” by Tori Amos
11. “Carol of the Bells” by The Bird and the Bee
12. “What Child is This?” by Don Peris
If you still need more, you can check out the holiday mixes I’ve compiled in years past here and here. And if you’re behind a computer all day long you can still get into the holiday spirit by streaming Woxy’s Holiday Mixer right here.
Enjoy! And happy holidays.

Hello Myra,
If you click the “here” link in the first paragraph, your computer should be prompted to open iTunes where you can preview the mix. If you don’t have iTunes downloaded onto your computer, you most likely will not be able to preview the mix. However, it’s really easy to download iTunes onto your computer if you’d like to preview these songs. Good luck!
