this is a very waspy post, fyi

I DID A THING!



The back cover:


A .rar file!

It goes without saying that I'll upload individual files if you want them, but I think it also goes without saying that I'm too lazy to do them separately without prompting.


This Christmas mix was sort of more unusually one-note for me (usually there is a lot more pop and a lot more Frank Sinatra), so I also uploaded what my sister and I have declared to be the most delightful Christmas songs there are:

S Club 7 - Perfect Christmas
Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas (actually Hannah hates this and all versions of this song, BUT WHATEVER, SIS, I'M SORRY YOU HATE FUN)
Ron Sexsmith - Maybe This Christmas
Guster - Donde Esta Santa Claus?
Frank Sinatra - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (actually for yeaaaaaaaaaars I was NOT OKAY with anything but the Judy Garland version of this song, but I have relaxed in my old age. And Frank Sinatra! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.)
XTC - Thanks For Christmas (If you, like me, are one of those weirdos who just happens to be really really really fond of the holiday season, THIS IS YOUR SONG.)

AND OF COURSE, the Trey Songz and Flo Rida version of Jingle Bells from the Gap commercials that I love so much.

I HAVE BUT ONE REQUEST: if any West Wing fan happens to have "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime" by Martin Sheen, Stockard Channing, and John Spencer, I MISS IT DESPERATELY :(

Oh, and happy not-quite-belated Thanksgiving, Americans! I hope you have suitably napped off your food! Did you know there's a substance in turkey that makes you sleepy? You probably did. I didn't until this year.

I LOVE JIMMY EAT WORLD'S "LAST CHRISTMAS." It is one of the few poppy Christmas songs I like.

I have the NBC CD with "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" on it, so give me a few minutes and I'll upload it for you. :)

This is so good! I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I'm downloading it later when I'm not lazy and when there's no chance I'll unplug a bunch of things in the middle of the download (...lol). I took a couple of the individual links too. :D

I was totes looking for music to download earlier to compile for my Christmas playlist, so this is a PERFECT addition it. I cannot wait to listen.

I kinda, maybe miss talking to you.

Wait WHAT? Where did Martin, Stockard ad John ever record that? (Tangentially related, why the hell am I rewatching the show again? I'm at the end of S2 right now.)

DOWNLOADING THIS AWESOMENESS WITH THANKS :D

What? Everyone should love "Last Christmas"! COME ON. WHAM! I've not been feeling very Christmassy this year, and hearing that song on the radio is the only thing that nudges me toward any kind of festive-ness.

This is awesome and I must have it. :9

[identity profile] girlintheattic.livejournal.com 2008-11-28 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Christmassy music! Thank you!

EEE this is exactly what I'm looking for! I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC SO MUCH.

And now it's finally acceptable for me to watch old Thanksgiving (Shibboleth) and Christmas episodes (I'm starting with TWW, don't know what I'll go with next. Maybe Christmukkah?) and Love Actually! YES.

Oh, and speaking of TWW, I don't have Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime, but I REALLY wish I did.

HOLIDAY MIXES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE AND I SURPRISINGLY HAVEN'T HEARD MOST OF THE TRACKS YOU INCLUDED! And your ~most delightful Christmas songs~ are allllllllllllll my favorites. That Guster track = !!!!.

I definitely went into a tryptophan (crazy sleepy turkey substance!) induced food coma immediately after dinner. I'm talking passing out on the couch as my nieces hop up and down on me while watching Bee Movie. I blame it on the glory that is butternut squash and stuffing made from scratch.

THANKS FOR THIS!

Okay, I have no idea what to make of that Jingle Bells remix or what have you but oh my gosh, I cannot stop listening to it. Thank you for sharing that little gem of joy with me.

Tryptaphan for the win! :)

Hope your holiday was groovy.

Ally,

One of my favorite things about you is how seriously you take the holiday season.

Love, Stephanie

Taking, yay, thank you!

Oh, this is a wonderful mix! Totally downloading, and thank you :)

[identity profile] forthesky.livejournal.com 2008-12-21 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
I meant to download this a long time ago, but I just got around to it today. It is delightful, so thank you! I listened to it as we put up our Christmas tree. (I know it is the 21st of December. My family is slow).

I have no Christmas icons. :( I very much like your default though! Best movie ever, y/mfy?
