"DECK THE HALLS!" with the 12 Not So Days of Christmas

Christmastime is here again and while many people (myself included) love to get lost in the merriment and festivusness that is the season, there are times when we need a break from Bing Crosby and his three word jingles. In lieu of such music, here's a nice little collection of "Christmas-themed" music... and when I say "Christmas-themed" I mean completely unrelated.

As the title of this post suggests however, there are 12 tracks and with that comes the inspiration of the 12 days (actually I think it was the other way around). This may be the most bizarre mix I've made seeing as many genres do not correspond to one another outwardly, but innately ingrained I think there is something that pulls them together... something other than the "Christmas-spirit".

So grab so cider... and by cider I mean booze, sit down, and relax... and when the moment comes... DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!

12. Islands The Drums
11. Nickodemus Feat. Jean Shephard Peace Pipe
