Top 25 Christmas Songs

By Morgan Holzer

I will be the first to admit, my love of Christmas is somewhat irrational. I was raised to be a good Jew, but I can’t get enough of lights, stocking, and carols. Heck, I even send out a holiday card with me and my dog in matching sweaters. Part of this obsession with all-things-Christmas is amassing an unreasonable amount of holiday songs. So I present to you two mixes: side one is a mix of contemporary songs and side two is the best of the classics.
