2020 has been one hot mess, and with what looks to be a muted holiday celebration this year, perhaps some holiday music can help amplify the merry. "We need a little Christmas" goes the song - it's from a play called Mame, and the idea is exactly that - in the wake of the 1929 Stock Market crash, they needed a pick-me-up. So I bring you 100 songs, which should be enough to last us until we're much closer to the holidays. Hope this survivor finds you safe and content.
I will start this in the next day or two, but here are the songs from the 2019 album. There was a 2020 album released just over a week ago, but I think this is a more interesting mix of songs. There is no Mariah Carey here... and oh, it looks like I lost half of you, but we all know she would win, so hopefully this will make it more interesting. For the hardy few that remain, I hope you enjoy the list. I'll probably tag people when we get started, but you can also let me know if you would like to be included.
