24 songs for a different Christmas playlist
To celebrate this time of the year with something more original than the omnipresent “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey, and especially to prevent our heads from exploding, I have put together 24 songs most of them quite unknown, which have recorded some of the artists that we like the most and that in many cases, we probably would not connect with Christmas.
Enjoy the listening and Merry Christmas folks!
