A holiday themed set of music. Sure some Christmas songs, but a lot of them are kinda melancholy, with other songs that nicely fill out the set. Not sorry about the Wham!

I don't believe in these "records everyone should own" lists. Yes, listen widely, but don't follow the crowd. Find what you like; jazz, rock, hiphop, country, noise, pop, whatever. The fun is in the discovery. #vinyl
